      You are not listening. We are talking about hundreds of thousands of women pushed out of public life, and that's just to start with, and you couldn't care less.

      If I wasn’t listening, I wouldn’t be asking questions. I have asked why they are being pushed out of public life and I’m not getting an answer. What proposed changes to the GRA will force “hundreds of thousands” of women out of public life?

      If males are allowed access to female only space that drives women out of public spaces. Especially, but not exclusively, women who, because of cultural norms, are unable to share intimate space with males.

      Males are not going to be allowed into female only spaces as a result of proposed changes to the GRA. And what female only spaces are public spaces necessary for women to participate in public life?

      I’m concerned that if self ID is allowed and the notion that transwomen are women is accepted, males will be allowed into female spaces as they will be viewed as actual females. Spaces: toilets, changing rooms, hospital wards, but mostly prisons & refuges.

      As now, prison and refuge places will be decided on an individual risk assessment.

      I think that refuges are already under pressure now, because they can lose funding if they are ‘not inclusive’ and that men should never be housed in prison with women. But my point was that accepting people can change sex means the EA could be bypassed?

      If the equality act offers protections based on sex, and self identification of gender comes to override biological sex, how can it not?

      If someone states unequivocally that they are a woman, and have full documentation that states they are a woman, and having a GRC has special protected status so that it is illegal to ask if a person has one, how will anyone be able to prove they are not?

      There are exceptions as I have pointed out. There is no “right to be forgotten” if you have a criminal past, for example. You can’t erase your criminal record with a GRC.

          But exclusion from women’s spaces, such as refuges. Where those running the refuge feel that it is essential that women and children can be free from male bodies to recover. A number of the women campaigning with me have been so traumatised that they needed men-free spaces.

          That will not be allowed? In Vancouver, there is only one refuge left that only admits natal women. It is under constant challenge. There are traumatised women who do not feel they can access health care unless they are assured their treatment is by women.

          I will reiterate something I stated earlier. Please bear with me as it won’t fit into a single tweet. The unvarnished truth is that this discussion centres around whether some men should be afforded women’s rights. I am aware that some find that statement difficult.

          But I refer to sex not gender identity. It seems to me safer to rely on provable physical evidence, rather than relying on anyone’s statement. Such statements are always open to question.

          Do the crime figures back up the statement that transwomen will be at significant risk in male spaces? If so, then how can society help them? What are the costs of that help? I feel those are the questions that need to be asked.

          Instead I feel we are being told that transwomen are women and must be allowed into female spaces and the only discussion allowed is whether there should be any gatekeeping, and if so how much.

          Women are being asked to prove they will be at risk, when the burden of proof should surely be on the other foot.

          Women should feel they are being assured that no harm will occur because x, y, z. Instead they are slurred as transphobes and bigots for questioning whether the deal on offer is safe.

          Life experience has taught me not to trust men. I really, really do not want them around me in female spaces. This is where I can relax and feel safe. I like men but I fear them. Why am I being forced to accept male bodies in my spaces? Why are my rights less than theirs?

          As a man I totally agree with you. Why can't you have that right? And to Brian Paddick, are you seriously saying that a criminal who changes name, appearance & sex won't disappear from the Police radar? Because an awful lot do that now, without even trying to disguise themselves.

          The issue boils down to who is allowed to *see* GRCs. Privacy laws for people with GRCs mean ONLY the police can see them, and ONLY if a crime is suspected. How can organisations offering women-only spaces enforce their legal right to exclude TW if they can't prove they're trans?

          This is such a key point. GRC is needed to alter a birth certificate but NOT to change passport, driving license etc. There is no meaningful way to officially evidence ‘female’ in everyday life. Current situation causes probs both for women having to share w men & some GNC women.

          People with a GRC can have a new birth certificate with sex recorded corresponding to their new gender. Their original birth certificate is kept but it is illegal for any authority to reveal its' existence. Already our sex-based protections are gone.
