Sorry if there is already a thread

Wow.
So basically she hopes the debate has " moved on" from what is a woman". She then said woman's spaces were safe but went into say that anyone could be chucked out of a woman's refuge if they didn't behave ( implying that was the solution to trans woman being in there and causing problems). No mention that a trans woman could therefore also get an actual biological woman kicked out. So a biological man who shouldn't be in woman's space anyway could effectively displace a woman. Again .

she's still believes she's kind.

Its more disappointing that there was no questioning of what she was taking about from Woman's Hour.

I didn't listen to it but you say 'implied'. She said women's spaces were safe. So that implies men won't be in them. Then she said anyone could be thrown out for misbehaving - well that's true, anyone can. You need to abide by the rules to stay in a refuge.

So she then said, transwomen will be in refuges. Therefore contradicting herself?

So no different to Caroline Nokes then?

Meaning we just have to keep on working through this.

How are our politicians so batshit crazy? Men cannot become women and it's not hateful to state that. You can't protect women if you won't define what a woman is
