(Name changed) I've just been pointed by the Welsh government in the direction of this document produced by the Scottish government.

There are... several things I find highly questionable about it. Does anyone know if there has been an official type response to it? I've googled and looked on forwomen but can't find anything?

And homophobic wank:

"... it is important to note that this kind of policing of womanhood leads to the exclusion of cisgender lesbians and anyone else who does not conform to societal perceptions of what a woman looks like.’"

That's all from a 30 second overview

For example:

" Jones et al. suggest that no empirical research has yet identified the specific reasons for which men perform better than women in sport"

and, regarding rape crisis centres:

"the literature identified did not offer an explanation for why the different experiences of socialisation and oppression that trans women have experienced compared to cis women justifies their exclusion, while the differences in experience between women of different ethnicities, classes or sexualities does not."

Fucking racist wank.

What a load of absolute fucking wank.

It's not up to women (or ciswomen as they so helpfully refer to XX people) to prove that men shouldn't be allowed into their spaces.

The entire document is made up bollocks, all along the lines of "poor transwomen, those nasty ciswomen are being nasty to you".

I don't know who wrote it, but have my suspicions.

I've not seen this before - it might be worth contacting murrayblackburnmackenzie.org/
