You're probably right Helen, but you have to admire beautiful irony of hitting back at the culture warriors by invoking the ECHR. Your point about people changing gender for material gain is a valid one, however, unfortunate people suffering from gender dis-morphia are still people and should be treated with respect. I get the point about single sex spaces for women with regard to safety etc but where are they supposed to go for a wee? Particularly bearing in mind the appalling lack of provision of public toilets.
Over to the men, how can you make the toilets better? Although tbh all this toilet talk is trivialising the real issue. It's the whole sports/female wards/ prisons/refuges/crime statistics etc.
I think in women's sports trans women have a clear and unfair advantage so they clearly shouldn't be allowed to compete. I agree that there are problems with prisons and hospital wards, I'm not sure what the solutions are for those. For me the real issue here is the treatment of vulnerable people by these hateful culture warriors. Toilets would be so easy to fix, last year we were in Weymouth and they had a row of unisex individual toilets each with a wash basin. Problem solved.
I'm just glad its not me who has to sort it out TBF Helen, it would be easier if the world consisted of well balanced individuals, but you just know there are sick chuffs out there that will be looking to take advantage for their own pervy reasons.
My solution would be a space for standing up and a space for sitting down. I feel for women who have to sit down in a space where men have previously stood up though.
Not for me, if I sit down to wee, it comes out in dribs and drabs. 5 minutes later I'm back for a stand up which is far more productive. I had a prostate examination and blood test last year, not cancer but it is enlarged.
Reform are going to dominate the council elections today, in a sad sign of things to come if Labour don't buck up their ideas.
