I would also like to take this opportunity to restate that this support for trans rights does not in any way conflict with our work and commitment to protect women from discrimination and advance women’s rights and equality.

There is no evidence that predatory and abusive men have ever had to pretend to be anything else to carry out abusive and predatory behaviour.
