"call me old fashioned but make and female has worked well for the longest time perhaps we should stick with that"
that is not allowed no more. You can wear a wig, call yourself Karen, identify as a women, and use the Ladies loo's anytime you want.
Same deal with the convicted rapists is prison. They regularly get beaten up in the nick, and quite rightly. However, identify as a women, and they will get sent to a women's prion. Result, no more beatings and they now pose a threat to every women in that prison.
