Yup it would be good if places would do this.


Male, female and unisex/family. Would be perfect really and surely would solve all the arguments over this issue. Any man who doesn't want to use the mens could go into the unisex rather than the womens. Transactivists do not want this though, as apparently its 'othering' to trans people. But...they ARE 'other' as they are males who 'feel like' women rather than actual women, and vice versa. So 'othering' is completely right in this case.

But yes, places really should start catering more for everyone. That will take a lot of time and money mind. Which is why I think so many are happy to just chuck men in with women. Who cares what the women think about it, its cheaper and easier and we also get to look 'right on!'

(I speak mainly of transwomen rather than transmen, because there are so many cases of 'transwomen' wailing about wanting to be in the womens. Never hear of transmen wanting into the mens. Seems for some odd reason, the womens is where everyone wants to be. I wonder why that is )
