I agree on the discomfort part, I just feel that that's something that would change over time as it's more down to social norms... imo.

Women/girls want to feel safer in that environment and I could not understand why anyone would want to deny them that. They will undoubtedly be at more risk if any man or men can enter the ladies toilets at any time unchallenged.

The distinction for me I suppose is 'feeling of safety' and actual safety being different things. Obviously we disagree on what constitutes actual safety in this instance, but that doesn't equal a disregard for womens safety as I wouldn't want to deny anybody that.

Theres also issues not to do with changing rooms though. Such as prisons. In scotland there are currently male rapists in female prisons. I can't imagine anyone thinks thats right. Yet people will still argue that its wrong to put 'transwomen' with penises in with the men. So...lets just throw them in with women instead?! **** that. if they are unsafe in male prisons, make male prisons safer. Loads of men are at risk in male prisons, smaller men, feminine men, gay men, the lot. Should all of them be moved to female ones for their own safety? (with no thought to the safety of the females) Surely the answer is to work on safety for everyone in the mens prisons...

I think the issues with safety in prisons is a huge thing in itself. And yes, obviously I'm speaking very generally and about normal everyday situations but as I've said before there are certainly situations where I'm in favour of segregation.
