      If that's true (and I've seen no evidence that UK men are attacking transwomen: women are far more at risk from ALL males), why are trans people arguing for self-ID, which is contradictory as it will allow the men who are allegedly threatening them into the women's spaces too?

      https://www.hrc.org/resources/violence-against-the-transgender-community-in-2017 … lists trans people in US subject to fatal violence. As to self-id, I doubt men are going to go through legal process of making a declaration to get a GRC

      Tragic. As are the deaths of women at the hands of men. About one a week in the UK at the hands of a partner, for example And given the lengths abusers go to to access victims - training for jobs, moving communities- why on earth do you think abusers would not misuse self id?

      Because it is a legal declaration (and it's not clear that it's reversible) and I doubt misogynists would stomach claiming to be the inferior sex

      Target stores allowed ALL these men access to women's spaces without asking for any ID and these men were happy to take advantagepic.twitter.com/ir4XFOMgzr

      Predatory men accessing women’s spaces is a problem, already, now, without any changes to the GRA. It’s not a transgender issue. It’s a problem with men’s inappropriate behaviour, not a problem with trans women.

      Currently, women have the right to object to, or challenge/report suspicious or unusual behaviour. With self id, women loose this right. Unless it is obviously very overt criminal behaviour, I think most women would remove themselves, rather than risk falling foul of the law.

      Much like the allsorts school guidance which advises that girls (who are uncomfortable or intimidated by a trans girl in their changing room) should be the one removed. For most teenage girls, the thought of being semi naked/ flooding/ whatever, in front of a teenage male...

      no matter how they identify, would be utterly mortifying. To object would have them labeled a transphobe which would be social suicide and so they have to suck it up!? Not use the facilities?

      This isn't prejudice against trans women, this is the result of growing up in a world where women and girls are subjected to sexist, intimidating and threatening behaviour from men.

          Yes, it does. But I can't see how sacrificing women's boundaries and ability to say no, accomplishes that. I am understand that the gra requires reform but it needs to be balanced. Despite assertions to the contrary, it does indeed have ramifications on sex based rights of the EA

          @brianpaddick, can you think of a good reason why - society should sanction the uncontrolled falsification of birth certificates? - women & girls should give up our sex-based boundaries? Why is subverting the status quo desirable? Is it reasonable? What are the costs & risks?

          it's not uncontrolled. You still have to go and make a binding legal declaration and can be punished for a false one but avoids medical/legal gate keeping

          So you say real women have the right to call police or store managers to check the ID of any man they see trying to access women's spaces?
