I think it does the opposite. "-Y" means the remote X clients are trusted so local X security extension restrictions are bypassed. This will be fine if the remote system is known to be trusted, but if "-Y" is being viewed as similar to "xhost +", then I would consider it unsafe, in general.
Anywho, I just wanted to make those using "-Y" aware of the security implications.
