If male prisoners are put into women's prisons the risk to women demonstrably (and predictably) rises. A male's preference is being traded of against women's safety. 9/

Yes, transwomen are vulnerable to (male) violence in men's prisons. So are other vulnerable males - eg effeminate young men, men w learning difficulties, sex offenders 10/

Prison authorities have a responsibility to protect all these vulnerable people. It is not obvious thar women must be used as human shields for males w gender dysphoria 11/

Many, many women in prison have life histories of being the victims of violence, sexual abuse and coercion by men. Forcing those vulnerable women to share with males undermines *their* mental wellbeing. 12/

In sports, as you say "the science is out" on the effects of hormone therapy. In other words there is no evidence that simply lowering testosterone for a short time erases all the other advantages of having a male body. 13/

I do not accept that lesbian and gay men's sexual orientation towards people of the same *sex* is a "bias" that needs to be examined (or indeed heterosexual's orientation). It is not an "issue" for gay men that they are not sexually attracted to females! (15/)

In general I think you are setting the boundary of acceptable risk & harm to women far too high - - there must be a general crisis in shelters & transwomen winning *all* the sporting medals or there is no problem from removing single sex spaces/sports and making them mixed sex?

I don't agree. I think that with respect to all the issues and risks women face, and in particular in those two contexts, this is close to non existent. I cannot find data to support this level of concern. Only anecdotes.
