I think their gender should be legally changed first in order to weed out any potential pervs. But at the end of the day, no one is stopping anyone from entering any room they like. That's a risk we all have to take every day. It's not like there's bouncers outside bathroom doors. There's a risk that you will get struck by lightening after leaving your house and walking down the street. However, the chances of that happening, much like a creep dressing up as a woman and pretending to be trans to perv on women in a changing room, are extremely unlikely. I think the trans debate should focus on the fact that 45% of trans youth attempt suicide, rather than these ridiculous hypothetical bathroom scenarios with no basis.

Our local swimming pool had a problem with men sneaking into female changing rooms some time ago and holding phones and cameras under doors taking grimy pictures of young girls getting changed and I heard it was a common problem in many public areas like that.

Wake up - we have huge problems with sexual assault against women and young girls in this country and the world as a whole and such proposals will simply make it easier for such creeps to gain access - as it will be harder to challenge men who are hanging around.

Plus I think you will find it will be a lot more than 45% of women will not support this proposal - and we need to focus on them and their rights.

You're right, I'm not going to read from a source called "transgender trend". (Recent evidence shows it is neurological and not a choice or trend.)

I'm not a woman so it's not my place to state it as fact, but imo I don't think many women would want pre-op Trans male being able to use the women's Toilet's as they're not officially a woman yet, just like how not many men would want a pre-op Trans female to use the men's Toilets.

I might feel uncomfortable if an old obese smelly wrinkly man was in the same changing room as me but I would just try and and use a private cubicle in future rather than constantly moaning and trying to ban old wrinkly men from changing rooms

Do you not get that any male predator can easily self-identify as a trans woman and gain access to female only areas - which puts women and girls at risk of physical harm. Women have rights too you know whether you like it or not.

Apart from that women also have a right to privacy whether you agree or not.

Why are your agephobic, sizephobic comments acceptable?

You can't crow about rights while making offensive remarks about the physical appearance of others.

Old, obese, smelly and wrinkly are just adjectives. I would never personally slag someone off for being that (apart from maybe smelly as BO is absolutely disgusting - like have a wash)

Innacurate and offensive way to describe a trans woman though.

And you think that your stereotype speak will help gain sympathy for the cause you are speaking up for?

Old people clearly as 2 out 3 ageist comments = ageism. Maybe you think old people are smelly to - they were your words.

And thus you make everything you say pointless and not worth listening to.

Which evidence would this be?

Also of course being transsexual is not a trend. 'Transgender' is though. There is a huge difference between the two.

It has nothing to do with personal taste and everything to do with the privacy, SAFETY and the rights of half the population. The world is full of sex attacks by men on women - fact- and such a proposal puts women at risk. Simple as.
