This would be very intimidating and uncomfortable. A lesbian or bi woman is a woman and I would not be at all bothered sharing a changing room with either. Most men's toilets smell a lot worse than women's, men are welcome to those too, and to any chance a phone might come under the door when you have a wee, (don't tell it would never happen, filming up girls skirts without permission is already a thing) or coming out of a cubicle into a crowd of tipsy blokes. No thanks.

Completely agree.

But once again it seems to be about men, or to be more exact, men who self identify as women, rather than those born as women. Seems to be a pattern here.

There has to be a unisex option as well as women cannot be forced to accept sharing bathrooms/toilets with men who simply self-identify as women, which is clearly open to considerable abuse.

What about young vulnerable girls out on their own needing to use the loo. Sex attacks on young women are on the increase and this is no time to be getting all PC and putting the rights of one group before the rights and safety of another group.
