"No, I don't. I care deeply about safe spaces for women. I know from personal experience there is a generation of women who fought very hard to create and protect safe spaces, that it matters. Where you have women who want to have a genuine debate about how better to protect them, it's a very welcome debate. But that has to start with the recognition that trans men are men, trans women are women and that they exist."
