Women are a minority view so should be disregarded

Did Andy Burnham actually say TW should be able to use female toilets?
Yes, Andy Burnham stated that biological men who identify as women should be able to use female toilets.

He dismissed the idea that single-sex spaces should be protected solely for biological women as a "small minority view".

He argued that the number of people falsely portraying their gender to encroach on women's safety is a "tiny, tiny number".

He evidently feels he knows when women feel safe.
He evidently feels he can tell the difference between TW who mean harm and those who don’t.

He doesn’t seem to realise that any man claiming to be a woman is falsely portraying their gender and using that claim to enter female spaces can affect women’s safety.

Therefore it seems women are unimportant in his view.

Mollygo if he doesn’t refute his statement, all that says to me is that is what he still believes, but simply won’t express out loud anymore.

He should refute it and explain.

The ideal is to create exclusive spaces for us biological females in more widespread European areas I don't know when it occurred to someone to change in front of others it would be a good idea This also leads to many men who prefer not to use public locker rooms anymore and vice versa it seems to me that this should be forbidden to change in front of any in the eyes of Allah is indecent fully and the principle of Al Haya shamrock

Andy Burnham is one who will say anything to anyone if he thinks it will promote him, then discard it if it proves unfavourable.
Honesty isn't really that important, is it?
The end justifies the means?
