People who retain male genitalia should not use female sex-segregated facilities. Male born people with penises should not be trying to claim womanhood, should not be conferring upon themselves the identity woman, should not be joining girl guides, should not be entering rape counselling as counsellors, should not be using the ‘sex’ provisions in the EA as women. They shouldn’t be entering the female estate in the prison system. I’m not sure what you are finding hard to understand.

I’m totally fine with transgender people. You can wear what you want, call yourself what you want, and do whatever you like with your genitalia. It’s entirely your choice. I’m happy to be your pal, have a beer, work with you, whatever. But as a man, you should be using male services. Not mine. Not my daughters. Not my mothers. Not my daughters’ Muslim roommmates.

As a man who chooses to present differently, I think you are making great choices not to be bound by the gender hierarchy. But claiming to be a woman is where it ends, and where your choices affect women. As a man, I support your right to challenge norms. I do not support your right to encode them further into society by claiming they overrule sex. Nope. Penises are not female, and should not be present where sex-segregation is expected.
