Am in Cambridge on the way back now while waiting for my friend to arrive popped into Cafe Nero opposite the station the one lockable cubicle is now unisex with a separate disabled toilet next door...no drama just amused me that men had to queue like women have for years lol

It wasn't like this when I last visited so you can thank trans women for your queue gents ��

Again I'll say the simplest solution would be for the two toilets to be for:
(cis) Women
Everyone Else

LOVE this for women. What a win It's such a leap forward that some women may now have to prove their biological sex when they want to take a pee.

It's almost like it's not about biological sex being important in the slightest then.

Anyone supporting this ruling should have a major issue with the above caveat and if you don't, it shows you don't care about women or biological sex at all, you just hate trans people.

Irrespective of the hypocrisy, who decides what is 'sufficiently masculine' and why are we letting other people decide define what passes as woman or man on the basis of appearance. ****ing archaic.

Just because you don't understand something it doesn't make it odd. Hope that helps.

Sometimes people think things odd because they don't understand it. Sometimes people think things are odd because they are odd.

That was my words not the court. The sufficiently masculine part.

It makes sense to me. It's about biological sex but if someone has taken steps to be perceived as male then yes they will cause distress to others on a female only space.

But basically 'but transmen' is not an argument

But what about the Trans Men you view as biological women? Do those biological women not count?

You're advocating for cis women not to share spaces with biological men while at the same time happy that some Trans men (who you happily call female because you see them as women) are sharing space with biological men.

So really, your care for biological sex only extends so far, meaning it's not about biological sex at all and moreover, your care for biological women only extends to cis biological women and so you don't really care about biological women at all. You just don't like trans women and you don't care about trans men.

[Vicky.]

Transmen are biological women. I would have thought the court giving an answer to that would be a good thing. After all, now no cis men can enter female only spaces by pretending to be transmen. Which was apparently concerning to people.

[Vicky.]

Also men are not as much in need of single sex spaces. If they are then I guess it's up to them to complain and such.

At least people are finally being honest about it now, even though this was the obvious truth from the very beginning

Yes, that's great. Fantastic news. And it's great news that Trans Men get to use the male facilities. It's what I was advocating for the whole time.

I just find it so interesting that your whole argument has been biological women shouldn't be sharing spaces with biological men, and yet you're okay with trans men using the male facilities... am I on glue, or is that not also biological women and biological men sharing a space?

Can you explain something for me as to why one is okay and the other isn't?

It's not really about men being unsafe. It's about sending trans women into male spaces for men to kick the **** in to them, to be blunt.

I don't really think they're even being honest, I think they're tripping up over their own hypocrisy.

[Livia]

Trans women suggested we use disabled toilets if we didn't like them in women's toilets. I suggest they take their own advice.

Indeed and as I indicated earlier establishments have already taken steps by turning single toilets into unisex also as has been said on numerous occasions toilets are a distraction technique...refuges sports jobs all much more important but don't let that get in the way of 'worrying' about peeing

[Crimson Dynamo]

Thankfully women and girls will now be able to feel safe again

that is progress

Have you evidence of that happening since the ruling?

Because women need space away from male people in certain circumstances. Due to (some) mens treatment of women and just..privacy reasons. If men are concerned about single sex spaces then they can lobby and such

I haven't looked, but you cannot ignore the fact trans women are 4x more likely to be a victim of violence than cis gender people. Do you really honestly think a trans woman is safer in the male changing rooms than the female ones? Are cis women really that violent?

What about the trans men, who you call females and biological women? You seem happy for them to share spaces with biological men? I thought women needed space away from men? I'm confused.

I do not care if transmen want to use male spaces. That's up to them and the males.
