I don't agree with sectioning off artworks and artifacts and restricting it to one gender, I'd also say this is the artworks and artifacts where restricted to males as well
This doesn't mean I disagree with woman's only spaces where they can feel safe, I only disagree with the ones that are trans exclusionary
The article explicitly says that the ladies lounge is only off limits to people who don't identify as female. Trans women are allowed in.
I read through the ABC article on this yesterday, and I'm pretty sure it said that people who identify as women are also welcome in the installation.
If a woman needs a space devoid of men to feel safe they need psychiatric care, not a club.
Is that what you tell the police when they remove you from the bushes?

Please keep discussions civil and respectful. There is no need for the conversation to devolve into personal attacks. @BakedGoods@sh.itjust.works' comment is very harsh and lacks nuance, however does not insinuate that they hide in bushes watching women.
Haha okay, you've been heard. Fair enough.
What part of my comment makes you think I would hide in bushes? Do you not think living in constant fear of the opposite gender is a serious issue that should be treated by professionals?
The trouble here is "living in constant fear of the opposite gender" and "needing safe spaces" are two concepts that have nothing to do with this art display/performance piece.
Can't hear you over your rhythmic rustling, mate
