She said: It is also fair to say that there are another minority of trans people who agree with me that the terms biological male and biological female are accurate terms but are afraid to speak out because not only is there an extremely toxic debate on Twitter where they are being attacked from both sides. But also, within our community, the idea around gender identity is very intolerant of any dissent.

Ms Harrison, who haslivedas a transgender woman for two decades, said she shares Ms Forstaters gender critical beliefs and has been labelled a "Nazi facilitator" and "scum" for expressing them.

The process of having surgery or hormone treatment cannot ultimately transform your sex, Ms Harrison told the tribinal. Every cell in my body has male chromosomes. I have a prostate. These things cannot be completely deconstructed. It is not possible to be biologically female. But that does not mean I cant live a fulfilling life being treated as a woman.

Writing in her witness statement, Ms Harrison said that attempts to legally coerce society into treating males as females in all circumstances is inevitably doomed to fail.

As Churchill once said, The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is, she added.
