Why Safer Spaces are Important!
For many of us on this wiki, this conversation is old hat. For anyone joining in and being curious about the why of WTF/FTW/W&T/Women's safer spaces, this space will serve as a means of understanding the need.
A good page with an okay primer as to why one might need/want safer spaces is Patriarchy and Bicycle Repair.
Suffice it to say that every bicycle space unless otherwise stated is a de facto "boys club" and many femme / trans folks report feeling more comfortable in safer spaces designed specifically for them.
Ideally, the goal is for an entire collective to participate in a safer space agreement at all times.
