Care to point out which aspects of the Gender Reform Bill have you so concerned about the safety of women in female spaces. Keeping in mind that transgender women have been entering female spaces legally in Scotland since 2010 under the Equality Act and that this bill has absolutely no effect on the Equality Act?

Perhaps you'd also like to explain why you think a man capable of committing the crime of sexual assault against a woman would even bother to go the hassle of pretending to identify as a female to gain access to female spaces, when they can simply break the law and enter these spaces as men regardless? After all, they're about to commit a crime anyway, so why would they be concerned about entering female spaces as men?

I'm not sure what you think is hiding behind my apparent mask. I've been pretty consistent about where I stand on this whole situation. Once you apply logical reasoning, the argument of women being in peril due to this bill rapidly falls apart and it's the mask of those making the strawman argument that ultimately slips.
Someone tried to put an amendment on the Gender Reform Bill to say that sex offenders or rapists shouldn't be able to Self-ID into woman's prisons and Nicola Sturgeon said that these were ill-founded concerns and pushed the Bill through so this aspect of the Bill is a concern for the safety of women in women only spaces.

Katie Dolatowski, identified as a woman to gain access to woman only spaces. This is the male pedophile who identifies as a woman who was convicted of filming a 12 year old girl with the mobile phone over the partition wall in the female toilet cubicle of a Dunfermline Asda Store. Same person also grabbed a 10 year old year old girl by the face in a Morrisons in Kircaldy forced her into the female toilet cubicle and sexually assaulted her. This person had stayed at a domestic violence refuge for mothers and children in Leeds for 71 days and also a woman only hostel in Fife.

Katie Dolatowski was jailed at Polmot young offenders institute for male offenders but after physically assaulting a fellow inmate has since been transferred to the woman only Cornton Vale Prison.

Under the Gender Reform Bill as it stood there would have been nothing to stop someone like Katie Dolatowski getting in a car and driving to England or Wales legally identifying as a woman and accessing woman only spaces. This is why the Bill as it stood impacted on the UK Equalities Act. It also seems to be the reason Sturgeon was so keen on pushing bad legislation through to force the UK government to stop it, thus using trans people as a political football to challenge the powers of the assembly.
