      But surely in that case the response would be “Which word?” & we’d have to say “Woman meaning adult human female” and there you are. Really do not understand why you appear to find it impossible to understand the difficulty.

      The way you interact with women in this thread is very strange; even those you appear to know quite well.

      You seem to think if we are reasonable people will not accuse us to be offensive. We are reasonable. Megan Murphy, Canadian feminist, was permanently banned from Twitter for saying 'That's him', referring to transwoman who was still, at the time, also using male name.

      So basically you seem to take the very male attitude that if there is a dispute involving women, we must have been the hysterical and unreasonable ones.

      1. I think that wholly unfair, sorry. The suggestion I have accused anyone of being "hysterical" is untrue. 2. Reasonable people make mistakes all the time. I know I do. I consider you mistaken as to whether this is the morally right thing to do.

      You seem to insist we should be reasonable. We already are. You did not say we made a mistake, but that we should be reasonable (assumption being we are not). We are the reasonable ones in this debate. Asking to consider biology, need for women to have rights, risks for children

      What you did say was the stickers were put up for "no good purpose" but only to cause offence. And people have explained to you (1) that the purpose of stating the definition of woman is in order to fight for that clear definition and....

      (2) that they were a response to stickers whose message is that to recognise biology (as in your first tweet) is "transphobia".

          In judging the stickerers to be "behaving very badly for no good purpose, and should stop" did you understand the context, but dismiss the reasons, or not understand the context as well as you do now? (And has any part of that assessment changed with knowing the context?)

          I don't think the reasons were good enough, given the context and other options available. I still don't. Sorry.
