This was in response to your comment that if you saw a face under your bathroom stall door you'd kick it. Some other women would too no doubt. But some would be frozen with fear or retraumatised because of sexual assault they've experienced in the past. You say you're willing to fight for a cause, I am too. My question is why are you not willing to fight for their cause too?

Yes, transgender people are the subject of intense debate right now. But if you look at it carefully, very little of that debate is based on hatred. It's based on a disagreements mainly around the medicalisation and safeguarding of children, female-only spaces, and women in sport. Some of it has become mean and toxic. No doubt. But let’s be super clear here, that meanness and toxicity is coming from the trans community too. You only need to look at what’s happened to people like JK Rowling to see that.

I think the question of how and whether to redefine the world “woman,” with all the safety and legal implications that carries, is a perfectly reasonable area for debate that has nothing to do with hating or attacking trans people. Trans people represent a dramatic shift in the way we safeguard women and women's spaces. Do you think there shouldn't be debate and legislation around how to make those changes?

I just don't understand how so many people have come to the conclusion that any discussion about these issues is inherently hateful. What am I missing here? What have I said that makes you think I'm being discriminatory towards trans people?
