The transgender debate is often summed up by the question: What is a woman? However, many answers merely explain what the writer thinks the word ought to mean.

My Transition
Trans parent
Womanhood is not a feeling in my head or anyone else’s. I was certainly driven to transition, but not because I was trapped in another body. I now realise there is only me in here, and that I have always been here.

Wonderful article, thank you for being so honest. May culture mature enough to be so honest so we can then…
I agree, it is important for data on crime statistics to accurately reflect biological sex.

As a trans person I have written extensively about what it means to be trans, and how trans people can be accommodated in society without compromising the rights of other vulnerable groups.
