So many people seem to have swallowed wholesale all sorts of rubbish about why some services, activities and facilities are women-only. I've seen posts that seem to suggest that having separate women's sport is a way of keeping women out of the elite competition so men can have all the medals and records. They seem to have great difficulty in grasping that it's not talking women down to point out that women's bodies are different from men's, it's reality. Women's bodies are far more complex than men's because as female mammals our bodies have evolved to be capable of pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. Not all women actually make use of those capabilities, but that's irrelevant to evolution. Men's bodies don't have any of that complex stuff going on so have been able to evolve to be bigger and stronger, amongst other differences. The various sports were first devised to suit the male body so those who can run fastest, jump highest, throw furthest and so on get the medals and break the records. If women were lumped into the same competition as men, in all sports except equestrian events we would rarely do well, and in many sports we would be at great risk of harm, so we would probably see a huge downturn in female participation. All so obvious, but not to the gender ideologues.
When it comes to the prison system, you'd have thought anybody with two brain cells to rub together could see why male criminals need to be kept apart from women. There are roughly 87000 prisoners in England and Wales, 8200 in Scotland and 1900 in Northern Ireland. About 4% of those prisoners are female, so under 4000 women. They are far less likely to be there because they have committed a violent offence and vanishingly unlikely to have been imprisoned for committing a sexual offence. However, in England and Wales alone there are nearly 16000 men in prison for sexual offences.
How can these geniuses not see that criminals are particularly likely to be manipulative, dishonest, violent and mentally disturbed? Why would you automatically believe a man of that ilk if he suddenly says 'I identify as a woman now, so you've got to call me Lola'? Nothing else they say is taken on trust.
