Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

The overwhelming majority of women who work in rape crisis centres apparently have no problem with male bodies in female spaces?

I have just spotted on Twitter the claim that this research supports the assertion that "The overwhelming majority of women who work in rape crisis centres/refuges support trans women and highlight absence of any problems in spaces. TERFS and right-wing media push alternative realities."
www.stonewall.org.uk/sites/default/files/stonewall_and_nfpsynergy_report.pdf

I had a quick look at their methodology section and I don't think that assertion can be supported in the slightest.

My new rule is to never let a day go by without challenging at least one thing that I think is stupid and wrong. Am I right to challenge this

(Also I want to show solidarity with those on mumsnet who are standing up to this. I read with mounting horror the threats made about those who post here)

Stonewall only asked leadership. No service users and no day-to-day workers.

Here is the Fair Play For Women report, which represents the voices of 12 professionals, a survivor’s collective, a survivor who helped to build a survivor-led service, and 10 other survivors.

Here is the WPUK response to the Stonewall report:

And two blogs from a VAW practitioner, also on the WPUK website:
