No common sense

-

What a joke the transgende­r issue has become, with your latest revelation being that transgende­r prisoners have carried out seven sex attacks on women in jail.

Common sense says that we segregate the sexes in some situations – women’s changing rooms, public toilets, and prisons. It is also common sense to register babies as male or female on a birth certificat­e.

If, for any reason, this needs to be changed, it is common sense to change it officially, and re-register the gender after a medical examinatio­n, meeting a set of criteria that constitute an agreed definition of that gender. Terry Payne, Banstead, Surrey
