Women have always felt safe in their own facilities, somewhere they can interact with other woman doing women's thing like addressing their make up, hair etc. Adding an 18 stone brickie dressed as a woman is just wrong on all levelsHow is it? Why is hearing a male take a dump worse?
This had real "I'd do this as a powerpoint but we sold the microfiche to a donor for £1 and have tried doing it on Windows 98 but the dial up is too slow today so I'll do it on a flipchart and show you all as much as I can remember - wish me luck " vibes
Exactly. It's where women feel "safe"Women have always felt safe in their own facilities, somewhere they can interact with other woman doing women's thing like addressing their make up, hair etc. Adding an 18 stone brickie dressed as a woman is just wrong on all levels
Avoid the Royal Exchange Theatre, which has a big notice telling you to use the toilet you feel comfortable in. So a woman can walk in the Gents if she feels 'comfortable'. This must be legal under current law, which makes me wonder if (like so many things) the usual arrangements are just a convention and not enforceable.
In fairness, I do think this is a legitimate concern - if it encourages men to enter the room to molest women. I have an idea though that the really dangerous men don't put on a dress, and certainly would not allow the normal conventions to stop them.

And they are mostly private cubicles, so you don't have to see naked oddballs walking about.
The communal facilities at both my local swimming pools are far more suitable for families, single fathers can take their young daughters swimming without having to change in an open changing room with adult men.
They also have bars over the top over the top of cubicles to prevent peeping by pervs.
Excluding supermarkets most shops don't have toilets, other than at a bar or restaurant, cafe etc there isn't usually one for public use.
I wonder have they ever thought governing the country might improve their prospects
All they need is a safe space to talk about hair and make up because they are all the same..... anybody who disagrees is some sort of misogynist..Women have always felt safe in their own facilities, somewhere they can interact with other woman doing women's thing like addressing their make up, hair etc. Adding an 18 stone brickie dressed as a woman is just wrong on all levels

Don’t hold your breath mate.I think dehumanising sums up the Pm and the party at this moment in time.
They are going down a dark path with some of the rhetoric we hear from them.
Let’s hope the next batch of Tory MPs coming through the ranks are a bit more empathetic than the current mob.
With all due respect....it isn't up to you what I should feel comfortable or uncomfortable about.
I've not done that and tbh that isn't my concern. I don't really care, you're one person.
If you don't feel comfortable doing something you won't do it. If you want a female only gym or swimming pool you'll find it.
The world's moved on, most younger women don't seem to give a shit about the things that so distresses you. If you want facilities that make you feel more comfortable kick up more of a fuss about it.
Get lockable doors on changing rooms rather than curtains. There isn't really a good reason why they aren't on all major chains split sex facilities.
Most of the excesses of unisex spaces are due to cost cutting not because of "gender ideology" or LGBT activism.
It has an impact on me, as a woman.
I don't care to be called "a woman who menstruates" or anything similar. I'm a woman---an adult human female. I'm not some sub category.
I don't (and won't) want to have to insert my preferred pronoun on my signature email at work. I'm a woman. That's it.
I don't want to have biological men competing in sports against my female counterparts. It's unfair and ridiculous.
I don't want biological men telling me I'm a bigot because I don't accept they are the same as me.
I don't want to share the same toilet as a biological man.
I don't want to impede any other persons way of living, but I'm damn sure they shouldn't be allowed to impede on mine either.

Can I ask, if you'll entertain a hypothetical. If transgender women are barred from women's changing rooms and forced into men's changing rooms, what do you think is going to happen to them? Do you think men are going to take more kindly to pre-op transgender women (or post-op for that matter) being in their changing rooms? And, again, entertaining another hypothetical, say a meathead up to his eyeballs on steroids spots a "tranny" going into the cubicle next to him and decides to beat "him" up? Where's that transgender woman supposed to get changed instead? Where do you expect that transgender woman to feel safe in public? Can't go into male-only spaces cos she'll get battered, can't go into female-only spaces cos they're not allowed. So, where? What is the grand plan for trans people? And what if a fairly butch looking trans man (or a butch lesbian for that matter) goes into a women's changing room but is assumed to be a man and kicked out? These are questions gender critical people never, ever answer because the answer always ends up being "Trans people should stay in their own houses and shut up" and you can't say that bit out loud.And like I said before....I shouldnt have to explain myself to a man why I want what I want as a woman.
It's not as if what I want is earth shattering.
And yes, I'm "one person"....yet it feels as if I'm having to justify my existence and I'm being given advice on how to deal with it.
Please....don't preach. Ok?
