I, along with so many women, am not gender critical but rather biology critical. A big difference. Get a clue and call it what it is- women’s sports and fairness is about biology. Not gender. So- we are not gender critical- get it now?!?

I agree in some ways - but sport is a special and very difficult case, and I think any decisions made about participation in that arena should not be extended to the rest of society.

What about women who were raped by men when they were children? Is that a special case? It is in UK law that we can discriminate and exclude men from spaces to provide spaces where women who would feel threatened by the presence of men, can feel safe. Is that a special case?

Logical disjunction?

The logic is you are saying sport is a "special case" where distinguishing between the sexes is OK. So people are asking why you argue it should be overwritten by self identity in the other limited situations where the Equality Act recognises sex segregation as legitimate.
