Others are women based on gender identity
They are not the same. They're different but equally valid
Both types of women are victims of sexism, rape & violence

🚨Today is the 75th anniversary of the founding of our NHS
Nye Bevan, the Labour Party politician who was instrumental in setting up the NHS in 1948 said;
"No society can legitimately call itself civilised if a sick person is denied medical aid because of lack of means." #NHS75
