Glad to see this brought up, as I missed it the first time.

For background reading, I think this article has been discussed on these threads:

Read the thing twice now. The gender critical views are the only ones that make any sense to me. The rest of it seems like obfuscation because of a personal agenda.

Prof Freedman and Prof Auchmuty:

Reforms to the process of obtaining legal recognition must take into account the needs of all people affected and ensure that rights are protected for all concerned. We propose that maintaining the distinction between sex and gender in law will allow for self-identification while also protecting women’s rights.
