Excellent opinion piece by Nick Timothy. Extracts:
"The question is not whether we should respect the tiny number of people - 0.2 per cent according to the census - who identify as a trans man or woman. The question is how we manage to do that while also recognising that interests, values and rights unavoidably conflict, and that such conflicts need to be managed in a way that protects half the population of the country."
He said the identiity and interests of women are under unprecedented attack.
"Just as surely as the failure of the police to root out widespread misogyny and abuses of power, and just as surely as the failure of wider society to confront and prevent violence against women and girls, so the political classes are failing women through this intellectually and legally confused progressive calamity."
He concludes: "To escape it, we need to go back to the beginning, and assert simple facts that many educated people claim not to know. A woman is an adult human female. The difference between women and men is biological. Men are bigger and stronger and can present a physical danger to women. They are more likely to be violent.
"We should respect the few people who are genuinely diagnosed as gender dysphoric. We may choose to recognise them, through tightly defined laws, by their acquired gender. But we should ignore the radical activists pushing for more and instead listen to women. A society that tolerates misogyny, violence and threats is suffering a sickness - and only a heavy dose of reality will cure it."
