Is the radio station all about sport, @SwearyG?
Because, if so, it would be useful to give them examples of where men are slaying women.
The link below has some. It's not all. Fallon Fox is worth googling. The fighter who broke a woman's orbital bone.
Or Andrea Yearwood, a collegiate sportsman in America who competed against girls, won two state titles. He had no hormones, no surgery, nothing. Just self identified.
Where are all the transmen beating men in sport?
Testerone it's not the only marker.

In terms of colonisation. These men are beta males. They think women are the gatekeepers to sex.
And if they identify as women, they will have queues of people wanting to have sex with them.
They need to keep their perception of women as hypersexualised and subordinate.
Straight talking, tough women telling them to fuck off doesn't fit the narrative.
Neither does the disadvantage and oppression that women face. It's no fun inhabiting their fantasy woman, when women keep reminding them about FGM.
Not only do they have no real clue about women's lives, they really don't want to know.
Hence the re-writing of sexual objectification as hot and aspirational. Not degrading and frightening, as it is in real life.
Minimising male violence is just another way of preserving their image of what it means to be a woman.
Yes, keep calm. Don't say anything you can't immediately back up. Have statistics at your fingertips. Be above reproach.
But, don't hold back with saying anything controversial. As long as you feel comfortable being able to back it up.
Your opinion will be considered worthless unless you can justify it up the wazoo.
Useful stuff:
NAMALT: The MeToo campaign ran to 11 million posts in under 24 hours, are you saying that these women were lying?
One in five women will experience sexual violence (rape crisis statistics).
When Target made their changing rooms gender neutral, voyeurism increased threefold.
'Not all men are predators': Men have to do very little to make women feel uncomfortable and intimidated. A smirk, a look. Especially if they have the right to do so when you or your daughters are in a state of undress.
My father in law is delightful, I don't want to get undressed in front of him. Neither would I expect other women to.
Why do we have sex segregation in the first place?
Not just safety, it's privacy and dignity.
Things that women do in bathrooms:
Buy and dispose of sanitary protection, wash out blood stained clothes, particularly underwear, rinse mooncups, have miscarriages (most miscarriages happen on the toilet), morning sickness, on the hour, every hour.
Some men get all icky if you talk about biology. But women's toilets are designed precisely for their biology. And the privacy aspect is paramount.
No woman wants to go through all that with a man standing there, particularly if he knows you can't say anything.
They probably won't understand the difference between self ID and equality law, so maybe not even worth going down that road.
Well done. You have absolutely brought this into the open. It's a snowboarding, as a result. Well done.
