Mark Shane Hayden@drewdevault suggesting that the comfort and safety of women must be compromised to accommodate ND people is a pretty messed up take. Calling out inappropriate behaviour of a ND person, when done appropriately and offering help to resolve the situation, *is* being supportive of ND people as well as others.
Unfortunately what happens all too often is that the toxic person in question refuses to acknowledge what they are doing is wrong and is unwilling to improve the situation and uses this "ableism" argument as an excuse to do so. This is BS. If a sociopath kills someone they still go to jail to be separated from society to protect us from harm, and hopefully undergo some degree of rehabilitation. Perhaps it is an extreme comparison but the same logic holds true here.
We cannot provide a safe environment by excusing toxic behaviour from *anyone*. When that behaviour comes from a ND person it means we may have to address things differently but they still have to be addressed.
