The truth is that everyone knows the difference between men and women. Distinguishing
between the sexes is an evolved instinct that we share with other species, and we were
doing it long before anybody knew anything about chromosomes and genetics.
Dodds needs to find the courage to ignore future attempts by entitled caucuses
to control her diary, and she needs to avoid them controlling her thinking. She
knows the difference between men and women in the same way that everybody
else knows it really, but will she be able to put that instinct at the heart of
equalities legislation? The time for obfuscation and ‘it depends’ is over. If she
does see sense it will upset the LGBTQ+ lobby (who, let’s face it, are never
satisfied) but she might leave a legacy that endures.
