Exclamation Does M&S have a women's only changing area?

No, Marks & Spencer does not have a women's-only changing room policy; they
operate a gender-neutral policy allowing customers(MEN) to choose a
fitting room they prefer. The individual fitting rooms are private, lockable
cubicles located in both the women's and men's departments, but they are not
designated as exclusively for one gender. This policy has been in place since
2019 and allows customers(MEN) to use any fitting room they are most
comfortable with.

This is correct, they have fitting rooms in both male and female departments and let either use either due to it being individual and lockable.

Just a quick google bought it up. I am not weird enough to go into M&S and start taking photos of changing rooms.

Looked at my local store - changing room has images of women at entrance and is in women's section of store but does not indicate it is for women. Just says Fitting Room. Same for the men's - images of men at entrance.

Don't know about lingerie section changing room. Suspect changing rooms are mixed sex despite mixed message.

It's time for women to vote with their wallets. If stores like M&S continue to flout the
Supreme Court ruling on women-only spaces, prioritising the wishes of men who want to
undress near, or help fit bras on teenage girls, a boycott seems appropriate.

MARKS & Spencer has confirmed their bra fitting service is for customers and
staff who are “biological” women after a transgender row at a Scots store, it
can be revealed.

It comes amid the backlash over a trans employee leaving a teenager “freaked
out” after offering her help in the bra section at a store in Ayr.

They confirmed the statement referred to “biological female”.

Human Rights charity Sex Matters says the retailer has prioritised the “feelings
of men” over their female customers, who make up almost 60 per cent of their
customer base.

“No matter how well-intentioned, policies built on the falsehood that ‘trans
women are women’ inevitably compromise other people’s rights.

Is there any actual evidence the shop worker was transgender?
Does a woman being 6ft 2 mean they’re transgender now?

It's called Harry Potter And Hermoine's journey into M&S.

But seriously, I do like her Harry Potter stuff, I have got to do a rewatch of the Films eventually.

Marks & Spencer has apologised to a mother for causing her teenage daughter “distress” after she was asked if she needed help by a transgender employee (Man) in its bra section.

The retailer said it was “truly sorry” after the mother complained that her 14-year-old daughter had felt uncomfortable when they were approached by a trans shop assistant in the lingerie area of the shop, where they were hoping to have a bra fitting.

Although the staff member was polite, the mother said she felt it was “completely inappropriate” for her daughter to be approached by a “biological male” in that section.

In a complaint to M&S, she told the retailer: “Imagine her horror, then, when the person to approach us and ask if we needed help was a transgender ‘woman’, ie, a biological male.

“This is obviously the case: he is at least 6ft 2in tall... My daughter recoiled, so I politely declined the offer and we left immediately. She was visibly upset and said she felt ‘freaked out’.”

The following day, an M&S customer service assistant replied, apologising for the incident.

“Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your experience,” the email said. “We deeply regret the distress your daughter felt during her visit to our store.

Fiona McAnena, director of campaigns for the human rights charity Sex Matters, which campaigns for clarity about biological sex in law and life, said
“This is what happens when a business centres the feelings of men who identify as women, even at the expense of their own customers. It is entirely inappropriate for a man to approach a teenage girl in a lingerie department.

This happened a few weeks before the HIgh Court ruling
The mother argued that the retailer’s reply fell “significantly short of the response that was required to satisfy me that M&S takes seriously the safety and dignity of women and girls”.

I just want to add that I hate Mannequins or anything like them.

Off-topic I know, but I felt that it had to be said.

Funny how you only care about misogyny when you can level the accusation at minorities.

Almost like you don't care about it at all.

Cool

So just like Summerhall Arts, Marks and Spencer has now backed down as soon
as they realised they would be hit in the pocket - certain "principles" seem to
go out the window rather quickly when it comes to 💰
