While supporting transgender people’s right to freedom from harassment and abuse,[30] in July 2017, Lewis wrote about her concerns that gender self-identification would make rape shelters unsafe for women and would lead to an increase in sexual assaults in women’s changing rooms, writing: “In this climate, who would challenge someone with a beard exposing their penis in a women’s changing room?”
