Facts matter. Trans women like me have been using female facilities since before I was born. Before JK Rowling was born. You don& #39;t need ID to use a loo

Ireland made it easier for trans people to amend their birth certificates in 2015. There& #39;s no evidence it& #39;s caused any problems

Please don& #39;t tweet me examples of trans criminals. Sadly, there are awful people from all walks of life

We don& #39;t tell gay people like Elton John that they& #39;re not allowed to adopt just because Jeffrey Dahmer was gay

It& #39;s wrong to justify discrimination based on a few bad apples.

Also, my tweets last night about bringing & #39;people in the middle& #39; on board weren& #39;t about pandering to outright bigots

I still think it& #39;s degrading to enter into debates about whether we& #39;re & #39;real& #39; women. And dangerous if it provides someone with a platform to spread misinformation

Like many trans people no doubt sometimes I want to scream at the cruel and inaccurate things I see being said about us

But I& #39;m not sure I have a better approach than trying to remain calm and dignified while providing the facts confidently and refusing to be drawn into nonsense

Finally, I urge journalists to investigate the situation in Ireland as @libby_brooks has

Speak to women& #39;s organisations, the police and other public bodies and find evidence – not "concerns" – EVIDENCE that treating trans people fairly has caused problems https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/jan/15/monumental-change-ireland-transformed-transgender-rights?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other">https://www.theguardian.com/society/2...
