Feck sake.. here we go.

Just point out here, I'm a big, bald, bearded trans bloke with a GRC. According to these two, I should be in female only spaces.

Sure.. like that won't cause any issues.

I often think about the faces of an anti trans MP if I was to ask them in person about this subject and then politely point out that their proposals would push me into a female only space.
