The second debate is more contentious and is the point where silencing of certain voices seems unreasonable to me. This is the debate regarding whether some men should be afforded women’s rights, and if yes, then how far should that extend.

This is a far more nuanced debate and it is essential that all people affected should be part of the discussion.

The opening statement contained the suggestion that people who want to “debate the rights of trans people to exist”.

This seems like emotive language, designed with the express purpose of quelling the voices of those who assert that despite advances in medicine, it is not literally possible to change sex.

If people are pushed towards starting the debate under the unproven and unprovable premise that “transwomenare women” then it is impossible for all of those who will be affected to debate without prejudice.

The use of that phrase to frame the whole debate also suggests that the speaker is in no way impartial and unlike you, is not likely to take an objective and balanced approach.

If I have wholly misunderstood, and only human rights were being discussed, I am happy to be corrected. But I feel it is essential that we can define these issues clearly. If the two sides claim “woman” means different things, all debate must necessarily be at cross-purposes.

Brian, I appreciate your attempts to listen, but you perhaps cannot hear the dogwhistle misogyny women hear when the words "[transgender] inclusion, rights and services" are juxtaposed with "no debate". I hear an incursionary push into female space, with all objections silenced.
