Christian homeless shelter defends decision to turn away trans woman
A Christian homeless shelter in Alaska has defended turning away a homeless transgender woman on a cold January evening.
The Downtown Hope Center shelter in Anchorage, Alaska, is under investigation from the city’s Equal Rights Commission after a vulnerable homeless trans woman with nowhere to sleep was denied access into the women’s shelter.
Police had dropped the unnamed woman, identified as Jessie Doe, at the overnight shelter in January 2018—but twice in two days she was turned away by staff.
The average overnight January temperature in Anchorage, Alaska, is -12° Celsius (9° Fahrenheit).
Here is a "charity" that picks those it helps by criteria other than need. The US needs more socialism so that less people freeze on Winters nights. So does the UK for that matter. .

I realize stories that present BOTH sides, rather than just telling you how wrong and eeeeevil the Christians are, offend your sensibilities.
"Alliance attorney Ryan Tucker said many women at the shelter are survivors of violence and allowing biological men would be highly traumatic for them. He told U.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason that women have told shelter officials that if biological men are allowed to spend the night alongside them, "they would rather sleep in the woods," even in extreme cold like the city has experienced this week with temperatures hovering around zero.
Tucker said biological men are free to use the shelter during the day, adding there are other shelters in the city where men can sleep."
So what we have here is a man who clearly is far less worried about his own health and well-being than he is about making people knuckle under to and agree with his worldview, no matter what. There are other shelters he could have gone to, but no. He was by God going to force his way into a place that's just for women, and which could be reasonably expected to react as they did. Uh huh. If his danger from exposure wasn't the most important concern for HIM, can't see why it should be for others.
