Q: A number of campaign and community groups I am part of are struggling with questions around access to women’s spaces for trans women, and whether or not to agree with the line that ‘trans women are women’. I am biologically male and identify as a man, so I do not have direct experience of the issues, though I have always been opposed to all forms of oppression (including sexism and transphobia). Recently, some discussions have become heated, and I fear being accused of ‘white male privilege’ by one side or being a transphobe by the other. How am I/we to resolve this?
