I wasn't aware the conversation purely centred around the UK, particularly as the conversation has centred mainly on a worldwide sporting competition and a Boxer from Algeria.
I bought it up because it's a good example of something posing a risk, yet the rights of the citizens is still given priority. My point was many people who support gun ownership, despite it being the leading cause of death amongst children in the USA, will not support trans women being in women's spaces because it is a risk to women despite the risk they speak about being incredibly low. That doesn't make sense... and goes some way to prove that for many (not saying you or others on this thread) they don't actually care about the risk to women, they just don't like Trans people.
And it's that kind of attitude which is why it's risky linking criminal cis men pretending to be trans to actual trans people, which many people do.
