      Women have justified concerns about male violence, misogyny, male privilege & male dominance of society (as do I) but trans women are not men & are not responsible for these issues - these are issues that affect them too. Time to focus on the real issues & leave trans women alone

      Self-ID creates a way for men to exploit this legal loophole and gain access to women’s-only spaces though. This isn’t about demonising trans women. There are real consequences for sex-based rights in the proposed changes to the GRA. The debate is over whether they’re worth it

      A man misusing self-ID to gain access to women's spaces is a bit like forging pennies by filing down twopences. There are easier and cheaper ways of doing it.

      Worked pretty well for Karen White 😕. But this is the thing: with self-ID, you couldn’t question someone’s presence. They are allowed to be in that space because they say they are. That’s a big change and a big concern, I think

      You can always question someone’s presence, whether it’s a predatory gay man in a male changing room or a woman behaving inappropriately in a woman’s changing room. A birth certificate has never been used as a passport to access safe spaces & the GRA is about birth certificates.

          To be frank, I’m less concerned about changing rooms and toilets than I am about refuges and prisons. I don’t think policing gender at the bathroom door is good for anybody. But in spaces where women go in crisis, or can’t opt to leave, I have concerns

          And rightly so. If a lesbian is seeking refuge from domestic violence, simply denying refuge access to men won’t help. Prisons have failed to properly risk assess individuals with tragic consequences but the right question is “is this person a risk?” not “is this person a man?”

          I think that you have missed out the voice of many women who say that the presence of a male body can create panic and fear for traumatised women. It is not simply about ‘risk assessment’ - it must also be about mental health and fears resulting from traumatic life experiences.

          Risk assessment isn’t just about the subject. It’s about the impact of the subject on others. Of course the effect of an individual on others accessing services at the same time needs to be taken into account in that risk assessment.

          But no-one is asking the women who use these services whether they consent to sharing this space with male bodied people. Please show me one single risk assessment where the female users views were included . You won't find one.

          Thanks Brian. It's reassuring to know that as a 5'2" woman I'm entitled - in a lonely public toilet, late at night - to challenge the presence of someone who towers over me. Especially if that person may characterise 'misgendering' as tantamount to murder.

          It just shows the privileged existence Brian has grown up having as a white male: never having to be afraid of situations like this & completely unable to understand the incredible danger women would put themselves in if they were to do as he suggests.

          I’ve never known a woman “behave inappropriately” in a changing room in all my 47 years. Why are you so unable to understand that females want & need time away from males: male bodies, male violence, male entitlement, the male _gaze_?

          I have never in all my 48 years on the planet seen a woman behaving inappropriately in the toilet or changing rooms. But I have been a victim of male sexual abuse and male violence many times over. Women need our safe single sex spaces.

          And I have never in all my ancient life felt even remotely threatened by a woman in a toilet or changing room. They could be sober, drunk, silent, shrieking, old, young, tall, small, in groups, alone, anywhere, anytime. Men are the threat. Not all men but it only takes one.

          I've never ever experienced or heard of anyone else experiencing a woman behaving inappropriately in women's changing rooms. I think perhaps you're thinking of gross p0rn films? And women are socialised to NOT challenge dodgy men, for v good reasons - they kill 2 of us every week

          Worst I've ever seen was a paralytic woman who collapsed in the cubicle. We all made sure she was ok and in a taxi home. Perhaps young women crying over some douche to a rousing chorus of 'he ain't worth it hun!' from the rest of the women in the ladies. Brian seems pig ignorant!
