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.

I sense a shift...from the absolute "no good purpose" to "I don't judge the reasons for taking this particular course of action to be good enough". Which kinda begs the question of what action you are taking to defend women's single sex spaces?
