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.

The root of the problem is that you (as do others) keep thinking abt trans women as inherently men and therefore attributing them 'male' characteristics such as being a bigger threat of sexual assault to women than, say, regular other women or officers in correctional facilities

I refuse this premise. I don't think it's based on data and science. Concerns of ppl in these situations should be heard, of course, IF this happens to be a bigger concern than others, which I doubt. I think we probably have to agree to disagree.

Lucia - you asked me for "actual instances" . So I gave you some actual instances. You said they were anecdotes, not data.

So I offer some data (I know it's imperfect) and you call it "bogus" without saying why. Yes I know the FPFW article is not a "study", but it is data from the DoJ. In what way is that bogus?
