How many surveyed were ex-members (not many) and by removal of those results do any of the results materially change? (No) How many in the party are over 65? Do you know? Do you think perhaps you gov have polled to give a representative sample of members? Perhaps they know what they’re doing…

We then released the rest of the data (post Supreme Court judgment) and produced this leaflet which discusses single-sex spaces and sports. This was a survey of around 600 members in the Party by YouGov.

OK so the data you have is for the following leaflet that we produced for Spring conference: static1.squarespace.com/static/5fac5...

You’re right these are only some of the results to go with Spring conference. I can send you rest shortly

Women having dignity, privacy and safety is not nonsense in my opinion. I appreciate you want to leave the conversation but since you asked about Lib Dem views, members were asked their views about single-sex spaces, sports etc and majority agreed should be female only. yougov.co.uk/(popup:searc...

They had no need to define it. Already well established in case law e.g. Corbett vs Corbett

Trans men are female. Why’ve you said so-called and put women’s spaces in scare quotes? In a rape crisis counselling session for example a trans man who has deep voice and some resemblance to a man may trigger survivors of male violence so may need separate service e.g. 1 to 1. All can be worked out
November 29, 2025 at 1:28 PM
If a space is supposed to be for females and trans women are admitted then it is mixed sex since trans women are biological males. The Supreme Court ruling was very clear that certificated sex could not be used to get into the opposite biological sex’s space.

And providing privacy, dignity and safety to females when they’re getting undressed or otherwise vulnerable (eg sleeping on a hospital ward, receiving intimate care) is a legitimate aim clearly. There is no reason such spaces should be mixed sex when it’s detrimental to females.

Well as peer reviewed literature states “People are remarkably accurate (approaching ceiling) at deciding whether faces are male or female” In evolutionary terms one can imagine knowing the sex of another human was important to the survival of our species.
November 28, 2025 at 4:17 PM
So is the only issue you have in terms of women having single-sex spaces that some venues may not have money/space for gender neutral toilets? Do you agree in principle to women having single-sex spaces and services e.g. rape crisis?
November 28, 2025 at 4:14 PM
It sounds like you agree women should be able to access single-sex spaces and services sometimes (depending on the exact space). Mostly I find when people go through all the examples toilets become the only thorny issue. If that’s the case an accessible gender neutral toilet is an option.

Oh not ‘shame and on you’. Crikey. Blue sky is funny. Do you have a citation? “People are remarkably accurate (approaching ceiling) at deciding whether faces are male or female” for example journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Balance of rights. How do you know how many women have been self-excluding from services because they are not single-sex? From women with certain religious beliefs, to survivors of sexual abuse for example. Meet Sarah - a female rape victim. www.crowdjustice.com/case/help-sa...

I’m suing Brighton’s Rape Crisis Centre Survivors’ Network for discrimination because it refused to provide a women-only peer support group. I am a survivor of sexual abuse.

And yet there do seem to be an awful lot of legal cases coming that would seem to disagree with that. Sandie Peggie? Darlington nurses? (To name a couple). And obviously those are ones that get to court. Many more don’t get that far
November 28, 2025 at 2:37 PM
I am not the one making claims at this moment. It’s your claim to prove.
November 28, 2025 at 2:34 PM
So no evidence you can point to beyond your own experience. How do you know what other people think when they see a trans woman?
November 28, 2025 at 2:31 PM
Ok. Name calling? Being accused of being responsible for a child’s murder? That will be a block then.
November 28, 2025 at 2:29 PM
Evidence? Particularly for ‘most’
November 28, 2025 at 2:28 PM
That question says a lot about you. Do you not see you are using a child’s tragic murder. Does it not strike you as ghoulish to do so? As wrong?
November 28, 2025 at 2:26 PM
I am with you! There will be a period of adjustment after a decade of stonewall law - in many ways the pushback is unsurprising after what has gone on. But we will get back to single-sex spaces and untempered societal pressure, censure, taboo if someone enters the opposite sex’s space again.
November 28, 2025 at 2:23 PM
I've heard several ideas but for most people it comes down to this. If you are male, use the male facilities. What do you want people to say? There may be fines if people are caught intentionally in the wrong facilities? Convictions for exposure and voyeurism? There will be ways, there will be means
November 28, 2025 at 2:02 PM
How about the trans person uses the correct sex-based facilities and then there is no problem? It seems like the only society you will accept is where males have unfettered access to female spaces. Women are saying no. Many men do too. The law says no. Everything else will be figured out over time
November 28, 2025 at 1:56 PM
That is a ridiculous question on the basis of this discussion (besides gender ideologists always invoke DSDs to say chromosomes don't matter). As it happens I have had genetic testing, quite fascinating. The most boring and obvious part was that I have XX chromosomes.
