Jomie Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Yes, it is and hopefully it will be reassuring for biological women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fill Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Bearing in mind of course that said ministers have not actually done anything yet. Surely in true spirit of gender equality shouldn't men also be receiving the same guarantees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jomie Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Fill - men are receiving the same guarantees. More information here. Ministers said they had “no intention” of changing laws that allow female- and male-only areas, which some campaigners have said discriminate against trans people. News from Scotland about this issue: Girls ‘negatively affected’ by new rules on transgender school pupils. Edited June 26, 2018 by Jomie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fill Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Article in the Sunday Times today about (biological) women only spaces: Ministers put curbs on trans rights. opening paragraph says "Ministers have vowed to defend women’s rights to exclude transgender people from female-only spaces such as changing rooms, lavatories and swimming sessions." i notice ministers are not rushing to defend men's rights to exclude transgender people from male-only spaces such as changing rooms, lavatories and swimming sessions. why is that then? and would someone like to show us all where this question can be cleared up as it is not very clear. what is the gender of a transgender male? is this a guy who wants us all to treat him as though he is a woman? or a woman that wants us all to treat her as though she is a man? don't get me wrong i'm certainly not going waste any time or effort to struggle with this. if i see someone that appears to be a guy regardless how he has chosen to be dressed i will address him as.. and treat him as ...what he appears to be ...a guy and of course the reverse of that is also true. and if i see someone clearly of the wrong gender using facilities that are intended to be gender specific i will report them and warn others that they are doing so. after all a woman in a men's toilet or changing room is a potential law suit against some poor sod just waiting to happen and i'm sure the reverse is also true.

Cyclone Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Relevant to this thread, I noticed at Meadowhall at the moment that they have some temporary outdoor toilets set up whilst work is happening. Ironically there are 5 doors, each doors says on it "5 individual cubicles". 4 of those doors also say "Women", and one says "Men", but also "Out of Order"... Given that there are indeed only individual cubicles inside, why aren't these all just unisex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that there are indeed only individual cubicles inside, why aren't these all just unisex? the disparity in numbers women's toilets to men's being 4:1 comes as no surprise that the men's is out of order but no-one could swap a sign also surprises me not those apparent inequalities aside many women prefer not want to share public toilets with men because too many men are either careless about or incapable of ******* with any degree of accuracy. and who could blame women for holding such views... i certainly don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jomie Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Unsurprisingly, Female Home Office employees are refusing to use new £36,000 gender-neutral toilets because they feel 'distressed' by their male colleagues leaving the cubicle doors open.

melthebell Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 on a similar note, according to this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45195216 43 transgender people have run for office in the US this year, and also a record year for females running for office also.

So 40,000 women interested in running for office in the US according to the Independent and 43 wannabes it will be interesting to see how many of both get voted in. not sure what that has to do with sheffield or the uk more pertinent perhaps there are 208 female MPs in the UK and so far one 1 wannabe for the next election hardly exciting news... certainly nothing to make you spill your cocoa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
