This looks really nuanced and interesting to me - I think we need to look at the possible middle ground - I agree there are a lot of TRA where there is no middle ground but if we can find some with trans people we should. I know some of you won't agree - but - thoughts?

What sex based rights should be compromised?

We’re already in middle ground territory in the U.K. A few men have already been given women’s rights, with controls in place which, to some extent, prevent the abuse of that enormously privileged position.

Are a minority supposed to give up their rights because they're a minority?

In particular - I feel that we are concentrating on TRA - who often aren't trans, they are allies who are (politely) misguided or (less politely) a bit evil - and not with people who have real gender dysphoria issues - who - as feminists - we should be able to feel sympathy with. When they feel some sympathy with us. OK - sympathy might be the wrong word - a bit too female socialisation-y? A sense of fairness? I don't mean TWAW - I mean TWATW and that's OK.

It’s not middle ground if you expect 51% of the population to shift over and give up rights for a teensy weensy minority.

Eventually a.middle ground will be reached, but not for a very long time yet.
