So, Natalie B’s recent video about making her gym exclusively for “biologically female” women has been making waves. At first glance, it might seem like a move for “safety” or “comfort,” but when we step back, what does this actually mean? Who gets to decide what counts as “biologically female”? And why do these conversations so often focus on exclusion rather than empowerment?
There’s a pattern here—where feminism, which should be about liberation, keeps getting reduced to drawing lines around who belongs and who doesn’t. But historically, those lines have been used against all women—whether through racism, policing gender expression, or limiting bodily autonomy. So, is this really about protecting women, or is it reinforcing outdated ideas of womanhood?
What do you think? Do spaces like this genuinely promote inclusivity and empowerment, or do they end up creating more division? Let’s talk.
