Men in the comments are SO PRESSED and angry that women/LGBTQIA might feel safer / better working with each other…. maybe ya’ll should look at WHY that might be 💀 Instead ya’ll are having tantrums in the comments and victimizing yourself … so dramatic. I guess live free or die just means cis men should feel supported at all times be so fucking for real.

If I said “I’m looking for contractors that are only straight because LGBTQ+ people making me uncomfortable”. People would lose their mind lol… the issue is exclusionary language. Some people don’t like to be judged based on immutable characteristics such as their sexual orientation or gender.

Continuing to prove my point that you guys don’t seem to understand BASIC systemic issues around gender/sex. On the most entry level understanding we can agree women/LGBTQIA are a small ratio of workers in this industry, by supporting their work we are not discriminating against you. 💀💀💀

That is literally what the post did. Everyone has more or less agreed on the basic understanding of gender until the last decade… if I said I am looking for only straight men to work? You would 100% believe that is discriminatory. Get down off the SJW high horse and try and see what other people are say.

The funny thing is ya’ll could literally just keep scrolling if you don’t understand a question properly but instead you waste everyone’s time parroting the same crusty out of touch ideas. So, as I said to the other guy who mentioned “SJW” (lol so much dramatic language for a such an inoffensive idea of using WOMEN CONTRACTORS), go outside.

Someone’s upset… we all understood the question. People just disagreed with what was being said. Idk why that triggered you

I personally don’t like the idea of picking someone to do work for you based on a demographic or characteristic, but then again it’s not my place to tell anyone what to do and at the end of the day you should feel comfortable with whoever you’re inviting into your house to do work for you to be respectful towards you. So I can understand why OP is being specific about who she wants to hire if she’s had problems with guys in the past, but as others have said it’s going to be hard to fit those criteria if labor in these trades is already in short supply so she may not much of a choice if she needs to work done ASAP.

Right, now do women who only want to be with other biological women in public bathrooms.

Well one is a PUBLIC place and the other is you choosing who you hire to enter and work in your PRIVATE property, entirely different scenarios tbf.

lol yes let’s definitely compare ignorance with real safety concerns, great job 👍🏼 also literally google is free - maybe spend some time looking at statistics of men who commit sexual assault versus a trans person. In actuality, trans people are at way higher risk of being attacked or murdered but please continue this dangerous narrative with no statistical backing - so embarrassing.

'real safety concerns' = things I agree with.

'ignorance' = things I do not agree with.

Crime statistics (especially with perpetrators) actually do not factor in gender identity at all, but your continued ignorance will be well received on Reddit as long as it it complies with what all the other SJW's want to hear.

Had to look up SJW ya’ll will really try to sidestep facts and misdirect any conversation with buzzwords - instead of being afraid of trans people LOL maybe understand your fear/anger is a product of a sheltered existence and you just haven’t met many to have a real world understanding. Maybe go outside instead of digesting conservative clickbait and let people live their lives without politicizing /perpetuating inaccurate violent stereotypes onto them.
