Thanks for this balanced article Debbie, it was interesting to read the political background to where this issue has ended up today. I think self id is a key concern here, the ability for non trans male predators to legally enter women’s and children’s spaces under a false flag is a real concern. The argument that no one would go to all the bother of all that totally denies the historical reality, predators have become foster parents, priests etc to gain access to vulnerable children. Predators go where the prey is. In some surveys of male prisoners I in 50 now identify as trans women. This must be sad and depressing for genuine trans women just trying to get on with their lives. I’m glad you didn’t find the legal id change process difficult Debbie, certainly I support/counseling being made available to trans people going through this process, are there any groups that do this rather than seeking to abolish it? Thanks again for this article Debbie, best wishes, Meg
