I have no asked this question four times and received no answer. Look - if your answer is 'because a male's need for validation is considered more important than a woman's right to safety and dignity' then just say so! I won't agree with you, but at least I know your position.

I am struggling to think what other possible answer there can be. We all presumably agree that people have a right to express their identity within the confines of existing civil and criminal law.
We all presumably agree that when different 'identities' compete in the same space and for the same resources, there is potential for tension and a need for monitoring, to ensure that one 'identity' doesn't overwhelm the other.
This recognition and attempt to balance the competing needs of different identities, does not 'erase' or 'invalidate' or show a 'phobia' of one identity over the other. On the contrary. It is an exercise in recognition of both identities.
But there will be circumstances where the two identities just cannot safely co-exist - contact sports. Rape crisis centres etc. So an assessment and a choice has to be made.
So I ask again. Do you agree women have a right to single sex spaces? If not - why not?
