1/ The former chief scientific advisor for the Scottish Government and European Commission Prof. Dame Anne Glover has the courage to say what should not require courage to say: sex is binary and cannot be changed.
2/ "proposed reforms that would allow trans women to legally self-declare themselves biological women and trans men to self-declare themselves biological men make no sense from a scientific point of view."
3/ "it is important to be realistic about trans women remaining biologically male and trans men remaining biologically female because biology “predisposes us to certain diseases”.
“[A trans woman] is different because she was born sexually as a man ..."
“[A trans woman] is different because she was born sexually as a man ..."
4/ "...- it’s the denial of that that makes me concerned.
“It doesn’t concern me that trans women and trans men want to have their rights verified [] but the denial of basic biology & the psychology of women, particularly those that have gone through trauma, makes no sense..."

5/ It makes no sense to me either.
A political movement has swept the world, demanding that it be ordered by 'gender identity' & not sex. It has driven a horse & cart through safeguarding & declared criticism, bigotry. It has almost everyone terrified to say the obvious.

6/ Women need protection from all men, all males, whatever they feel about themselves.
It's cruel that women are being forced to argue about why we need separate spaces from all men, all males, at precisely the same time the reasons for this are tragically all around us.
