But it is what you said. Exactly and precisely. You said you can't judge individuals by group risk profile. We can't say that any group more likely to be criminal can be excluded. But that's the entire focus of single sex provision - that we do judge individual men by their group behaviour, and risk. And I'd also point out that your analogy is wholly incorrect: black people suffer from systemic disadvantage and discrimination at the hands of white people, as classes, just as women suffer systemic disadvantage and discrimination at the hands of men. Black people are no more likely to be a risk to anyone - it's pretty racist to claim otherwise. Men legitimately do pose a massively greater risk. There are 100 men in jail for sex offending for every woman. Almost all serious violence is perpetrated by men. And the perpetration rate is the same, whether or not a male identifies as a woman. They pose the same statistical risk. So again: are you opposed to single sex provision, or not?
You seem to be saying that if man claims a feminine gender identity, suddenly the fact that that person poses the same risk as before doesn't matter. You are saying all women should take a random, unknown man's word for it that they're really a woman, even as you admit they pose the same risk as any other man.
So what is your definition of a woman, then? An idea in someone's head? A collection of stereotypes? What? How can a male person know they're a woman? They've never been one, so what is it they think 'being a woman' even is? What does transition mean? It's a genuine question, because I've seen this asked so often, and there's never an answer that isn't circular ("a woman is someone who feels like a woman" "Yes, but what is a woman?" ) or a collection of stereotypes. The only solid answer is 'a member of the female sex'. Which is not the answer you are arguing, is it? What are you arguing, if you believe human beings can literally be women when they are men? In what way is that possible, other than a kind and polite fiction in order to help and support people who struggle with society's rigid gender roles - something most decent people will, of course, be on board with, where nobody else is harmed?
It just reads as if you're going to blindly prioritise and privilege male wants, and pleas for sympathy, while impatiently brushing aside women's very real, very well-evidenced, and very serious concerns. Why don't women matter?
