The idea that self ID will be used ad hoc by abusers is laughable. I am saddened by how the privileged find it necassary to caricature the vulnerable as a threat.

Yeah, women's fears are so irrational, amirite?! We clearly just need to get a grip on our emotions. I mean it's not like we ever get raped/beaten or killed by males, is it? The non-consensual removal of our hard-won flimsy protections shouldn't scare us at all.

I don't think you are right. Violence against women is a serious and growing issue in the UK.

What proportion of those attacks are from trans women?

How would anyone know?

Andrew clearly thinks the current sex based exemptions are unnecessary and were never needed hence his enthusiasm for dismantling them, despite his protestations above that he “knows” male violence against women is an issue.

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.
