Thank you so much for your article (“At last, a consensus is emerging on protecting women-only spaces”, Comment). As a left-leaning feminist, doctor and trainee psychotherapist, I wept with joy and relief to see an article that finally seemed to voice that there is a difference between biological sex and gender identity, and sometimes this difference matters.
It matters most to the most vulnerable women who are also more likely to be conditioned not to speak up, including female inmates in prison, where a huge percentage have been on the receiving end of male violence and sexual assaults. I have been so upset in response to some of the confluence between sex and gender identity in language and statistics. I feel this serves neither biological women or men, nor trans women or trans men.
