Keeping male bodies out of women’s rugby

If one claims that men are women and women are men, and they're in favour of equality, and integration, then that person should have no problem having all criminals in the same prisons. Haven't heard anybody argue for that to happen

Mixed-sex prisons may be the case with respect to housing them in the same correctional facility, but they supposedly still keep men/women separated. However, male-bodied rapists and male-bodied non-rapists could be incarcerated with women as trans-people are increasingly accepted by penal establishments as genuine members of their chosen sex identity.

Otherwise, it's arguably similar territory to sexual misconduct watchdogs primarily focusing (protectively) on women in the workplace and one rarely hearing of domestic violence & abuse shelters for men (they do exist, but in fewer number).

The xenofeminist movement may acknowledge the reality of physiological sex differences while at the same time vowing to overcome "nature". To fully accomplish that, it would seem to have to welcome genetic engineering of humans and transhumanism at some point in the future. One of its intellectual ancestors -- Shulamith Firestone -- possibly promoted the prospect of an "artificial womb" to liberate women from reproduction. Perhaps I'm reading too much into XF's potential goals that it might eventually output completely non-sexual humanoid beings as one route to achieve radical elimination of differences.

Xenofeminism: A politics of alienation: "XF mutates, navigates and probes every horizon. Anyone who’s been deemed ‘unnatural’ in the face of reigning biological norms, anyone who’s experienced injustices wrought in the name of natural order, will realize that the glorification of ‘nature’ has nothing to offer us–the queer and trans among us, the differently-abled, as well as those who have suffered discrimination due to pregnancy or duties connected to child-rearing. XF is vehemently anti-naturalist. Essentialist naturalism reeks of theology–the sooner it is exorcised, the better."

Shulamith Firestone: "She [Firestone] regarded pregnancy and childbirth as "barbaric" (a friend of hers compared labor to 'shitting a pumpkin') and the nuclear family as a key source of women's oppression. Contraception, in vitro fertilization and other medical advances meant that sex would one day be separated from pregnancy and child-rearing, and women could be free. However, Firestone hoped to take reproduction one step farther and completely separate it from the female body. She urged the emergence of a new type of artificial reproduction, referred to as the 'bottled baby,' through which women could be freed of the hindrance of childbirth, just as men are. Although in vitro is the closest option we have to such a phenomenon, we have not yet reached Firestone's end goal."
