Social organizations and charities that are designed to service the needs of very specific populations should not be forced to alter their programs just to conform to the inflexible political agendas of activists. My example could just as easily be a support group for men with sexual addictions. The whole dynamics of these types of programs could be disrupted to the detriment of the people that need those services. Maybe the programs could be redesigned but that's not something that should be forced on them from the outside by politicians, activists and their lawyers.
It does seem a bit much to insist that anyone wishing to help some people must be willing also to help other people. But most likely even if it is a private organization they are getting some sort of public support. If they accept any public funding, they have to play by the rules.
Besides it just seems creepy to do a genitals check on every woman in need who applies.
Sadly, it appears that my prediction has already come true. About half way through this article, the author mentions an incident of a transgender man wanting to receive services from a women's shelter. I'm curious to know more about it if it really happened.
