I’m going to stop tweeting about “reasonable compromise” after this thread, because it’s been unproductive. Here are my final thoughts, which pertain to adults only. 1/5

Compromise for women: I think that male-to-female (MTF) trans should be allowed in women’s rest rooms after vaginoplasty. 2/5

Compromise for trans: There is no basic need (comparable to urination) to swim in a public pool or exercise in a public gymnasium, and MTF trans should stay out of women’s locker rooms and showers, even if they’ve undergone vaginoplasty. 3/5

Compromise for trans: MTF trans should not be allowed to participate in women’s sports, no matter what their surgical or hormonal status. Participating in competitive sports is not a basic human right, and it’s not the only way to get exercise. 4/5

Compromise for women: MTF trans should be allowed to change the sex designation on documents such as drivers’ licenses. 5/5
