to avoid upsetting trans gender people

BBC NEWS | England | Manchester | 'De-gendered' toilets spark row

"The changes are in response to an unspecified number of complaints from trans students who are uncomfortable using the men's toilets."

An unspecified number could be just 1.

If your f*cked up enough not to know what sex you are and you still have the relevent 'tackle' then as far as I'm concerned your capable of raping some lass thats in those toilets by herself. If I found out a 'man' had just been using the facilitys while the other half was in there I'd kick the living f*ck out of 'it'. PC gone mad.

I think you have issues, a tad over the top don't you think?

So does this now mean that we have "people with ****" and "people with dicks"????

Well - if you 'feel feminine' you should go to the toilets... presumably for a quick grope <sigh>

Weightwatchers?

Who cares what gender toilets are supposed to be?

I feel gender specific toilets can only be an idiom that derived from some outdated aincient British tradition. Although if it was down to the Victorians, there would also be 1st class toilets in addition to stowage class, LOL.

Apart from pooing and pi**ing (which isn't gender specific, I've been reliably informed that well trained women can also use urinals), what else do people feel the need to do in toilets to make them gender specific?

One could question privacy, well thats simple: Put the urinals in cubicals and then everyone gets the same privacy.

In many overseas countries, the toilets in bars/clubs/restaurants aren't gender specific. Usually because there is only one toilet!

And just think, men everywhere would feel liberated at being able to know what women get up to when they go in pairs, LOL.

Why? How long before some wacko takes advantage of the situation? If the toilets aren't gender specific its ok for a man to enter the womens toilets, is that not a recipe for disaster?

davegtt

Do you want some cotton wool to wrap yourself up in? Christ if a wacko wants to take advantage I dont think they'd have to dress up as a woman or anything to get into the womens toilets unoticed

Makes it somewhat easier though don't you think? As someone said previously some toilets abroad are shared, a few clubs ive been in here are aswell but they are adapted to suit. In this case they have just changed the sign.

Dedrater

If i was a pro rapist, i dont think the sign on the door will prevent much of a problem, its not an actual forcefield?

Did anyone watch that video on the link.... The woman who came up with the idea has green hair! Says it all really!! did you see the bit about saying "Political correctness gone mad" is disableist

Difference is it's not the norm for a guy to enter a female toilet, so if he were to do so it would attract attention. Therefore making it harder to slip into an area that may have a vulnerable woman it in. This would change if toilets were no longer gender specific.

^Precisely^

davegtt

Not convinced. Its not like the toilets are being watched constantly by someone. Have you never walked into the womens toilets simply by mistake before? I know I have, sure you realise as soon as youve just walked in but nobody stopped me walking in in the first place

The worlds gone mad.

Wot does changing the name actualy do?

Toilets with urinals still means Mens?

But i do agree i wouldnt feel safe letting my niece go into the womens knowing some trans "fcuked" gender was in there

austinwrx

Fookin students.

they should get a grip of life.

I know one restuarant I go to has shared wash hand basins- it is very strange going through to the same area (the toilets are seperated)

it does seem to slightly freak the ladies out- they're busy doing there hair/make up etc and you wander round.


mens should stay mens, ladies stay ladies w.c.s

if some freak wants to mess about pretending to be a woman or can't decide what sex they are- let them have a widdle in a bush.

I don't fancy using w.c's whilst some bloke in a dress pi**es next to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If your daughter was in there, I'm sure you would spot straight away if a guy followed her in.

Odds on

“Is this Political correctness gone made?”

“I think Political correctness gone mad is in itself an un-politically correct term. I don’t think it is..”

“Why?”

“Because using the term mad in a derogatory way is dis-abalist (is there such a word?) in itself.”

Someone please go and slap some sense into this crazy bird.

davegtt

Bit contradictory isnt it? Blokes stick to mens toilets and vice versa, but youre unhappy with the bloke in a dress peeing next to you.

Just cause the bloke is wearing a dress why does it make you feel uncomfortable? Just ignore them and do your own thing.

Great!

Now us chaps can hear even more complaints from women that we leave the seat up!

Still it gives us more opportunity to emerge from the loo and proudly -now publicly- proclaim:

"I'd give it a few minutes if I were you, love"

Leslie

Even with all the nonsense that we have had to put up with from the PC Plonkers so far, I find this latest one is absolutely OTT.

Regardless of one's sexual preferences, if you have the tackle then there is no reason why you can't use the convenience which is appropriate to it. There is no real reason why it should be embarrassing in any way anyway since there is sufficient privacy at a urinal in the men's and obviously plenty of privacy for women.

This proposal is quite ridiculous and would actually create more embarrassment for others who are normally inclined anyway.

I'd rather have a bloke in a dress pissing in the urinal next to me, than next door, pissing in the cubicle next to our lass or my daughter.

Why does the majority always have to be upset to cater for the minority?
