Dear @ayeshahazarika
I have not attacked you.
I do not engage in mindless cruelty
I do not get off on misgendering trans women, calling them men in dresses or making pathetic, vile comments

Here are some of the things I have written about sex and gender

Here is the article which contributed to me losing my job

Here is a piece I wrote for @FiLiA_charity about how to reconcile the human rights of women and of transgender people

Here is a policy proposal that I wrote on GRA reform for how the privacy and dignity of transgender people can be protected while also providing clarity about single sex spaces

Twitter discussions are noisy & not good for anyone's mental health.

I would love to talk with you & explore yr starting points for thinking about a solution that is humane, modern and common sense.

We could take it off Twitter to somewhere calmer

I will not attack you for your belief that men can become women.

What I am interested in is the way that people with different beliefs can live together in society - without this coming at the cost of harm to women (by which I mean female people).

As a starting point:

The interests of both female & male people matter.

Evidence is good, as is people talking about differences and disagreements to understand them, and to make sense of the risks, benefits and trade offs of different solutions
