we use words to NAME and DEFINE things and to CATEGORISE them.....
when you change the definition of WOMAN from ADULT FEMALE HUMAN (a statement about the SEX and MATURATION STAGE of a female in the species homo sapiens sapiens) to "anyone who feels like or "identifies as" a woman", and you allow human males to call themselves 'women', then you make the term WOMAN meaningless... you DEFINE women OUT OF EXISTENCE and you erase all of WOMEN'S SEX-BASED RIGHTS...

'Woman' is not a thought or a feeling, it is a biological reality. Instead of changing definitions, perhaps the state of mental health care should be examined.

A woman has XX. A woman gives birth, breast feeds, has a period and while there are exceptions to this rule due to medical and SCIENTIFIC reasons , self identifying isnt one of them. Stop trying to erase our unique place on this planet. Jealous much ? Have an agenda much ? Misogynistic much ?

There are two sexes - female and male. Biological fact. No amount of close down culture, legislation, or bullying can change that fact. Stop eroding women’s rights and stealing their safe spaces and sporting opportunities.

No of course not, will anyone who ‘identifies’ as a woman ALSO be taking a cut in pay in line with the *actual* gender pay gap? Yeah. That’s what I thought.

Science states that sex is binary and we are all born either female or male and this CAN’T be changed by anyone let alone by belief. Either the government and organisations follow the science, or they prove themselves to be misogynist idiots endangering women and children.

The re-definition of the word 'women' to include males erases any ability to monitor sex discrimination and works to remove women from public life. As a scientist, your science is flawed.

I am concerned about the impact that this is having on Women’s sport and women’s spaces. I am concerned about the impact on biological women and girls. I believe that sex based rights should be protected.
