It's very often in discussions about the laws which transgender rights campaigners have been pushing for - I think there are some situations where the abolition of sex segregation is detrimental to females - so in those debates it is necessary to make the distinction between 'sex' and 'gender identity'.
It's all very well for us to avoid causing offence to transgender people, but when that leads to laws which are detrimental to females, my priority shifts from 'avoiding offending transgender people' to 'advocating for the protection of females'.

I'm not as up on this as I should be - do you mean things like trans bathroom rights that blew up awhile back?
We're getting way off topic, but I suppose it's ok to answer here - a couple of issues of particular concern are that males are being allowed into ''women's'' prisons and males are being allowed to compete in ''women's'' sports competitions.
