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?!?

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?

I was replying to a comment specifically about sport.

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
