      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. @HPS_Vanessa writes about this here:https://www.theguardian.com/science/the-h-word/2015/feb/19/nature-sex-redefined-we-have-never-been-binary …

      Are rape centres a difficult case? If TWaW why is sport a special case? You've just demonstrated you don't actually believe your own position. So you're just advancing it for political purposes. That's fine, but don't wrap it up as science, or why the sport exception?

      Your reply was about more than sport. You seem to agree that sex segregation is necessary in sports. You explicitly say that sports rules (segregation) should not extend further in society. That society includes rape crisis centres that can legally discriminate against males.

      No it means we shouldn't necessarily use the same criteria for categorisation in sport and the rest of society.

      In most of society we seek to ignore categories, treat people the same whatever race, sex, age etc...but there are situations where it is legitimate to discriminate based on age or sex etc. The issue is not the whole 'rest of society' but the specific situations where sex matters

      That's what I meant. Someone being allegedly better at gymnastics because of their trans status is not an argument for their exclusion from legal protections against sexual assault

      Sexual assault is a crime. Not sure what that has got to do single and separate sex services, which is the issue in question in relation why Alice thinks sports is a 'special case' whereas other situations of female only services should be overridden by identity?

          The purpose of sex segregation in society is to reduce sexism and sexual violence. I'm sure some people see it as maintaining tradition too but that's bs. The purpose of it in sport is not for those reasons. Therefore using the same justifications for both doesn't make sense

          No that is not the purpose. The legitimate reasons for providing single and separate sex services are set out in the Equality Act (Schedule 3, S. 26 & 27). Its nothing to do with 'reducing sexism'.pic.twitter.com/At6Hj2WeBo
