Out in the Cold

For John, BLUF:  Equality is important, but it can not be achieved by herding various majorities into corners and stripping them of their own right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

An Alaskan Women’s Shelter Is Sued for Turning Away a ‘Man in a Nightgown’

Here is the sub-headline:

The municipality of Anchorage goes after the Hope Center for acting in the best interests of the women it serves.

From National Review, by Ms Madeleine Kearny, 16 August 2019.

Long story short, a man identifying as a woman wants access to a woman's shelter, in January, in Anchorage, Alaska.  Obviously we need more Trans shelter space, but that doesn't mean we should expose cis-women to traumas from having to sleep in the same room as a person with male genitalia.  We need alternatives.

The Anchorage Equal Rights Commission (AERC) seems clueless.  And apparently lacks the resources to help fix the problems at the Anchorage Coalition to End Homelessness.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
