In 2015, the British Psychology Society submitted evidence to Maria Miller’s Transgender Equality Enquiry that male sex offenders have been known to falsely claim trans status as ‘female’.
Reasons for exploitation of GRA laws by predatory males included: 1. demonstrating reduced risk > parole 2. explaining their sex offending 3. separating from their sex offending self 4. better access to females and young children through presenting in an apparently female way.
For years, many of us have foreseen how males who are not trans but who are violent, cynical predators will use the legal loophole created by selfID.
On the quoted thread by @ripx4nutmeg, someone asked (not verbatim): ‘What news story will make people wake up?’
I don’t know, because these cases seem to be studiously ignored by those arguing for selfID and housing in the female estate.
I’m comfortable granting that, say, the disproportionate number of sexual crimes committed by transwomen are not ‘actual transwomen’ but ‘actual men pretending to be transwomen’.
The inability to collect accurate data on sex and criminality in these two demographics means we simply cannot discern between them.
That benefits precisely no-one except the ‘actual men pretending to be transwomen’.
‘Acceptance without exception’ is asking an awful lot of questions about an increasing number of Scotsmen.

‘There are many factors that may contribute to competition success in tennis – height, weight, reach, power, speed, nutrition, good coaching, other environmental factors, etc. – but they cannot be balanced against the categorial factor of sex.’
In 1977, we sent two records into interstellar space. The records contain the story of humans, such that any intercepting alien race can begin to understand us.
I wasn’t given time to challenge Harper’s final words, so I will do so here. @markchapman@rachelburden
Harper: Hubbard doesn’t have an ‘overwhelming advantage’, therefore her inclusion is fair.
(Not verbatim)
Hubbard does have an overwhelming advantage.
Using her performances as junior male and Masters/senior female, and accounting for a small loss of strength in transition, estimates from my academic colleagues who study elite weightlifting put her male advantage at 25-50%.
