      This is a hugely important complex of issues. The range of opinion is an education (in the event you aren’t already following the twists & turns of the issues around ‘gender identity’). The crux 4 me (& others) is that @LetToysBeToys have done amazing work in campaigning 1/? https://twitter.com/LetToysBeToys/status/1112454995000131584 …

      Hello Maya. I followed you for tax stuff and want to understand your pov on gender stuff but it's hard to know where to start. Where would I find a good explanation (backed by studies) for yr views on gender?

      Hi Matt. My basic view is that the idea of innate gender identity is a belief system. Some people believe, some people don't. Like other philosophical or religious beliefs peoples right to believe and express their belief and not be discriminated against should be protected...

      ...but we cannot assume that everyone has a 'gender identity'. What everyone does have is a sex. And there are specific human rights protections for women and girls as a sex. This should not be confused with belief/disbelief in gender identity, or with how people dress etc...

      Philosopher Rebecca Reilly Cooper @boodleoops gives a very good analysis of gender identity as a belief system here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr139IvTf2Q … and in writing herehttps://aeon.co/essays/the-idea-that-gender-is-a-spectrum-is-a-new-gender-prison …

      (basically as with the tax debates, it is good to be clear on definitions & assumptions, good to talk, good to be cautious of perceived wisdom, good to avoid getting locked into warring sides, good for organisations to hold open the space for exploration and not close it down)

      Also like a belief system, it should not be imposed on non-believers, mostly women

      Yes absolutely. And particularly children, who are too young to be able to assess the claim.
