      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.

      Neither of us were at the meeting but I have the advantage of knowing @LizBarkerLords. Liz is trying her level best to manage what has become a very volatile situation. Trans people suffer appalling prejudice & discrimination & also need safe spaces to discuss their own issues.

      Hi Brian, I think we can agree on the need for safe spaces. Unfortunately I think a key reason that this has become a volatile situation is that women are being told we must cede ours, and the language we use to discuss ourselves is being forbidden.

      The big question in the minds of most women is "Why should someone who until 10 years ago would have been called a transvestite or pre-op MtF TS be granted automatic access to female-only spaces and a female birth certificate as a solution to men's alleged hostility to them?"

      I see no evidence that trans people in the UK suffer more "appalling prejudice and discrimination" than women and think we need to compare hard facts before making any decisions that diminish women's rights or alter the balance of rights vis-à-vis other protected characteristics.

      Why don't men campaign to make male spaces safer for those who identify as feminine, if (as has yet to be proved) these places are dangerous? Why are men's loos not being made unisex? Why are men not giving up jobs & resources to empower MtF TSs? Why do trans rights = women lose?

      I couldn’t agree more. The real question is why our politicians are caving in to the demands of fringe lunatics at the expense of 51% of the population?

      Maybe because politicians are not “caving in” but are carrying out a consultation, the people you’re talking about are not fringe lunatics and not all women (51%) agree on these issues.

          Why does it matter if it is all women, most women or some women? The principles of safeguarding and appropriate impact assessments should remain independent of any polling or are you espousing simple utilitarianism - if so, how many women are you prepared to sacrifice Brian?

          Enough. I don’t know whether the misinterpretation is deliberate or not but it is not possible to hold a reasonable debate on this platform so I’m not going to hold one.

          I’m guessing that means all women are to be sacrificed then. Given his historic support of ‘sex-work’ we shouldn’t be entirely surprised. #misogyny https://har0ld.org.uk/en/article/2017/1205117/a-rational-approach-to-harm-reduction …pic.twitter.com/yse3B2R2as

          In numerous BPC-compliant polls, respondents (both sexes) oppose self-ID by around 3:1.

          If you think adult men can turn themselves into women by simply wishing it so, then you are a fringe lunatic. Whether women agree or not - eliminating their spaces is detrimental. And by the way, what does ‘women’ mean? By your definition all humans are potentially women.
