#If it was “we're a rainbow/lgbtqia flat” that's not creepy but being like “you must have THESE SPECIFIC PRONOUNS TO LIVE HERE is fucked

But I thought this 'Never happens' and housing discrimination is always done by super priveleged Afab nonbinary people called Sock and that's why it isn't transphobic to call people trenders "theyfabs" ? /S
But seriously good luck I hope you find somewhere decent that's not this shit.
(Just gonna have a rant about these kinds of listings below the read more)
I'm pretty sure the listing is by a cis person -at least I'm guessing by the "she/her or they/Them Identifying " language. Just so many red flags in listings like these.
as "a they/Them" (cursed phrasing IK) I'm never living or being friends with people who live anywhere where they dictate residence by pronouns or birth assignment /assumed genitals ...
Not that places like this would accept me in the first place because I have a beard and call myself a trans man as well as nonbinary and likely wouldn't fit in their it's totally not a cult or harem gathering attempt I just need to live with only 'feminine' people I would fuck whose birth genitals I know about 'vibe'
I swear half the listings like these are just people who want to use their flat as tinder or a conversion therapy cult or to do the "let me teach you how to woman/ forcefem you and dictate your transition because I am the guardian of womanhood" BS while pretending that what they're saying/doing is 'enlightened' or about trying to make a safespace rather than the invasive predatory transphobic BS it is
"we're safe it's not sexual harassment or boundary crossing when we do XYZ because we all have the 'correct' pronouns /genitals so we are all safe and incapable of being creepy " - like no fuck off you creeps you're just as sus & as the cis men landlords who advertise for "single females under 30 only "
You're looking for a flatmate not a potential date so fucking act like it or be honest that you prefer to only live with people you can imagine dating/sleeping with (why else have these arbitrary genital or pronoun requirements?) so that people can avoid your controlling boundary crossing shit
- don't lie and say it's to make a 'safe space' because there's nothing safe about a house where you need to share your asab/genitals to 'prove' you are "feminine enough to be safe" & where anyone "sufficiently feminine" is assumed to be incapable of harming or predating on others
Saw this trying to get an apartment and its got me feeling all sorts of feelings im not gonna lie
#'Afab only' housing is fucking gross and creepy#Same with “she or they pronouns only” listings#Like it's blatantly “women and femmes” BS all over again#If it was ���we're a rainbow/lgbtqia flat” that's not creepy but being like “you must have THESE SPECIFIC PRONOUNS TO LIVE HERE is fucked#Same w “you must be nonbinary (but not 'too masculine' )/ transwom (but not 'too masculine' )/ciswom (but not use he/him) it's CONTROLLING#shortening women to wom in the tags because character limit#So happy I have an established flat I'm part of & don't have to trawl through BS like this#One of my flatmates is even a cis dude and he's allg it was the cis woman ex flatmate who was the creepy predatory one
