I agree that gender reassignment is protected in law and gender dysphoria exists (like anorexia, body dysmorphia, schizophrenia etc)
There is no good evidence that “medicine” of unquestioned affirmation, blocking puberty, cross sex hormones or cosmetic surgeries, helps anyone. See Cass Review.

Just like a soul. Many people may believe they have one, and it might form a very important part of how they feel about themselves and live their lives, but there’s no evidence of its existence.

It’s not fact, not in biology, medicine or UK law.
There is no objective measure of the characteristic of “gender identity” but is only based on an individual’s subjective experience in reference to sex related stereotypes. Even amongst ideologues there is no stable definition. It’s a belief.

Only if you’re an adherent to the belief system that is gender identity ideology. I am not.
Others can believe it if they wish but cant force society to go along with, what many consider to be, a sexist, misogynistic, homophobic and anti science creed.

Exactly. Trans boys are girls do can joins. Only boys are excluded.

How do you know? Did anybody ask them? Let them know that they could speak freely. Or were they told they must be good girls, be kind, inclusive, silence their feelings, put the needs of boys who really wanted to be girls over their own needs, their own safety and dignity, or be labelled hateful?

So either the total number of trans women in the UK is much less, making the small population even more likely to be offenders,
or the total number much, much larger which makes single sex spaces more reasonable. And unless it’s c.12million trans women, then they’re still more of a risk than women

We don’t need armbands to know what sex a person is, just our eyes and ears.
For women, we need single sex spaces for safety, privacy and dignity, as recognised by Elizabeth Fry 200 years ago and as written in the Geneva convection and CEDAW

Letting men into women’s single sex spaces has been proven to make women less safe not more safe. I’ve shown how you the data you just don’t like it.

You’re just ignoring the data now. As I’ve already stated, men are more likely to be murdered by men but that doesn’t mean we remove safeguarding for women. If trans people are more at risk, then address that, without taking rights away from women.

But there is plenty of evidence that males - REGARDLESS OF GENDER IDENTITY- pose a significantly disproportionate risk to women and children.

It does show the comparative rates.
And anyway, trans women are women right? Are you gatekeeping these people gender identity? How can we tell who are the “real” trans women? Do they need to carry special ID cards or wear an armband?

That’s the whole problem. Laws that allow males in women’s spaces where we’re vulnerable makes it harder to identify crimes like flashing and voyeurism. And it triggers women, especially those with experience of abuse, causing a great deal of distress.

Sex segregation is fundamental to safeguarding. Creating a subset of males (trans women or otherwise) that are exempt from safeguarding has been proven to be dangerous, in the UK and globally. You can keep quoting your flawed propaganda but it won’t make it true.

People can be whatever they want and have the ability to be. Sex is real and it sometimes matters and human can’t change sex. Trans people aren’t an inherent risk but sometimes male people are and we have single sex spaces in part for that reason.

A convicted sex offender was pleasuring himself in the women’s changing rooms in front of little girls - an obvious criminal offence that puts women and girls at risk and removes their privacy and dignity - yet was not convicted of any crime and the women that complained labelled transphobic.

Men are more likely than women to be murdered by other men. That doesn’t mean we try to prevent men murdering women.
Just because trans people can be victims of crime doesn’t mean we remove women’s safeguarding.

Safeguarding isn’t hate unless you think trying to reduce male violence is hated.
Statistics from the MoJ show trans identified males are significantly more likely to be a risk than the general male population. Ignoring this is hated of women and children.
