13. Sympathy for J. K. Rowling and Martina Navratilova

This seems to be a wonderful idea. But, it also seems to fit nicely within the opinions of those, like Rowling and Navratilova, who advocate for women having a safe space. Are biological females on these pink buses going to feel as though their space has been invaded, if occupancy of the bus is not restricted to biological females? We need to find a way allow biological females to come to the conclusion that transwomen are within the group that, like them, that is deserving of protection.
