Thanks for replying.
I think it’s a bit disingenuous to suggest that not prioritising the changing room issue means I don’t care about women’s safety or dignity. We clearly see this differently - you don’t see trans women as women, but I do.
The law sees trans women as people who need to use facilities for their biological sex: the male sex. Can you answer to that, with women's safety and dignity (and privacy) in mind?
Framing this as if allowing trans women into changing rooms undermines other women’s boundaries doesn’t reflect the reality I see: trans women are far more likely to be harassed or assaulted than to harm others. Putting aside how true it is that trans women are more likely to be harassed or assaulted themselves than to harass or assault, I have to refer back to/repeat my first point: the law sees trans women as people who need to use facilities for their biological sex: the male sex. So a trans woman in a female facility IS undermining other women's boundaries.
I just don’t believe rolling back trans women’s rights makes anyone safer Which rights have been rolled back?
I’ve never met a woman, trans or otherwise who has had a negative experience with trans women. Is your position that this means such women don't exist? Or that, because this is your lived experience, this is how it should be/is safe and appropriate to be, in law, for everyone? I will say the names Katie Dolatowski and Isla Bryson here.
Lastly, I did misunderstand your final point, so mea culpa on that. We are on the same page there: I cannot and do not condone racist or homophobic jokes or comments, but I defend to the hilt SP's or any other woman's right to single-sex spaces under law.
