NC: Pretty clear implication you could expect back up?
'My supervisor assured me I had right to use CR according to my 'gender identity'.
If you have problems with women opposing your presence, the board will back you up
BU: My supervisor is concerned with my wellbeing, also, sorry to be nitpicky, it's not exclusively women who hold transhpobic views.
‘I feel more at risk from men’ – BU
NC: The overwhleming majority of women feel the same way as you do’
BU- yes, I agree. Most women feel more at risk from a man than a woman
NC: For various reasons – men are just obhectively more dangerous than women
BU: statistically men are more likely to commit violence towards women
NC: more likely to commit violence full stop?
BU: that is my understanding.
NC: We all know men are responsible for more violent crimes and vastly more sex crimes
NC: we can park our disagreement
BU: What we mean by men is quite important, if you mean men hwo ID as men, remain conmofrtable with male identity, cis men more likely to be violent sex cirminials.
NC: It’s right, isn’t it, that almost certainly every woman in this room, prob quite a few men in this room, will be familiar of lightning risk assessment, that you do on the night bus, in a lonely, place, you notice someone and do a quick risk assemsent, agree?
BU: Gut instinct, yes
NC: Do you agree that the first item on tha tlist is ‘male or female?
BU: No
NC: Doesn’t it follow that if men are more dangerous, if you’ve established person is female, you’re much less worried than if person is a man
BU that might be true but
JR: Object. I don’t think that follows. All sorts of causes of risk and danger. Not sure we’re in a position how relevant this is.
