      The problem with refusing to listen & understand your opponents’ arguments is not being able to effectively counter them or to explain why there actually isn’t anything for them to worry about. And please don’t label people you’ve never met, and whose views you’ve never heard.

      Brian i am embarrassed to say that I had no idea who you were until a few weeks ago. I am heartened by your determination to listen and understand the multiple perspectives of this debate.

      Well. So far I see a laudable willingness to listen. But this tweet looks to me as if he's looking for an opportunity to educate women that they have "nothing to worry about". It's about the paradigm shift of "woman is whoever says they are", and the unintended consequences 1/

      And you wonder why no-one will engage, when those who do get attacked by both sides? As a man, I would never try to "educate women" about their concerns. Some people would rather perpetuate the argument than try to find a solution. I will ignore those people. Don't be one of them

          Thank you for your reply. I was merely reacting to the wording of your tweet (and from experience) - but I know it's a minefield trying to communicate on the issue. To be clear I am very appreciative that you're persisting to engage in this climate.

          Thank you. I hope you are able to hear not just 2 sides but the many more subtle opinions in this debate. This obvious starting point seems to have been missed and attempts to have it shut down.

          Trans women are also women, though. Your tweet implies that we are not. Personally, my existence is not up for debate & I don't see the need for a 'solution' for people like me as we have every right to exist as any other human being.

          Can't help being "one of them", Brian. I was born that way. 😉
