safe space 

A distant corner of the galaxy where various strange alien lifeforms take refuge to escape the marginalisation they routinely experience from Roscosmos (under Putin) and NASA (under Trump, a Putin toady).

The atmosphere, or whatever little of it exists in safe space, tends to be a cross between 10 Forward of Star Trek and the Cantina from Star Wars. On a busy night, expect to encounter at least five or six genders and a wide array of alien lifeforms.
The few available expanses of safe space in this galaxy are getting crowded as interplanetary travellers are being increasingly marginalised as "illegal aliens". If it isn't Martians feeling alienated by the Mercury Theatre of the Air and their War of the Worlds, it's Mercury or Saturn experiencing depression as Trump proclaims "we don't need their cars". And then there are the attempts to police the gender of life forms on other planets, based largely on asinine self-help books where authors from ersatz second-rate colleges philosophise with daft theories that men are from Mars or women from Venus.

Eventually it gets wearisome, leading oppressed and marginalised planets to take refuge in whatever safe space the universe offers. In an ideal series of worlds, this would not be necessary, but the situation is light-years away from full respect for diversity, equity and inclusion for interplanetary voyagers, leaving the safe space an unfortunate necessity.

Third Spaces 

Refers to places other than home or school/work that can be used for socializing (everything from movie theatres and public parks to libraries and cafes). Coined by Ray Oldenberg in the 1980's to describe how, even by that time, such spaces were disappearing as fixtures of many communities. In the years since the term's coining, the spaces that have survived have also become increasingly expensive, further restricting their use, especially by young people.
Sam: I'm so bored of hanging out at home! Can't we go somewhere else?
David: Sorry pal, but unless we scrape up some more money, Third Spaces are still off limits.
