What do people think of this below from Lord Blencathra?
How will ”some big, hulking male brute”, as he puts it, be so transformed over a 2 year period that a woman would feel totally comfortable sharing bathrooms or changing rooms with them?
As a man—even one in a wheelchair—I cannot imagine the fear and lack of safe space that women can face when they go to the loo and some big, hulking male brute comes in demanding to use the facilities because he has decided that he wants to identify as a woman that day. I entirely respect his right to adopt a woman’s sexual identity, but not until he has satisfied the 2004 Act and fully transitioned over the two-year period.
