Really disappointing from @maitlis. Women can be predatory towards women, men to men, & any other non binary way you want to look at it
Trans women are women 
We should work on making spaces where there are vulnerable people safer, rather than vilifying trans people

The evidence shows that male violence is a growing issue and that gender based facilities are important. I've yet to see any evidence that trans women are more likely than any other woman to be a threat in public toilets.
Andrew - transwomen are a subset of males. Occams razor suggests we should assume they show male patterns of violence and offending unless there is evidence to the contrary. Have you seen that evidence?

I have not seen evidence that trans women are more likely to be violent in public toilets. One would assume that it is there as they are using those facilities now.

If you are proposing a change it is up to *you* to demonstrate that it doesn’t increase risk, not to push the changes through without a proper risk assessment in the blind hope nobody gets to say ‘I told you so.’

It's not just about whether transwomen' show male patterns of violence or not. It is also that the opportunity to access female only spaces looking like a man selects for men who wish to do harm. More than half of all men transferred to women's prisons in Canada are sex offenders

Women in Canada's prisons have "MtF" prisoners "peeping through their cell windows, walking around in nightgowns with their penises in full view, saying they can have sex with any women they want... sexually assaulting women in bathrooms...https://www.womenarehuman.com/the-alarm-has-been-sounded-whos-going-to-respond/ …
