You’re opinion. I don’t have a problem taking trans women seriously. The way they wish to live their lives does not threaten me as a cis woman. Live and let live.

Trans activists are some of the most hateful people imaginable. You've probably never heard of Sharron Davies even though she was an medal winning Olympic swimmer.
At last common sense has won in swimming. Now EVERY sport must stand up for women
Swimming — like most sports at elite level — is tough. It demands early starts, long, gruelling hours of training, absolute dedication, and utter, single-minded determination.
You must face down disappointment and criticism and carry on. The mental resilience I developed as an Olympic swimmer — I competed in the 1976, 1980 and 1992 Games — has served me well over the past four years as I have campaigned for fair sport for females in the face of a ferocious campaign by a small but aggressive trans- activist lobby.
They have unleashed horrific, often misogynistic abuse and intimidation on anyone who disagrees with them. They issued threats to me and my children, calling me a ‘transphobe’, a ‘bigot’ and far worse.
I barely worked for three years because trans activists made my life hell. I have many friends in the transgender community, and all I have ever wanted is fairness. But the trans-bullies don’t care about that.
Their aim is to silence me, and anyone else who believes in a level playing field — if you’ll pardon the pun — in sport.
Transgender activists can do or say anything, it seems — no matter how vile — while those who disagree with them are silenced.
But, at last, common sense has prevailed, at least in swimming.
FINA, the world governing body, has passed a policy (with a 71 per cent majority) barring anyone who has experienced male puberty, or who has not transitioned by the age of 12, from elite female competitions. It did so after consulting members of 152 national swimming federations.
I couldn’t be more pleased about this decision, which was welcomed by the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, and the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Secretary, Nadine Dorries, yesterday.
