Apparently to allow any transperson in to which changing room they feel most comfortable. This is mentioned today as a transperdon was refused access to changing staff prob because they didnt look like the SEX of the changing room they wished to enter 🙄

Take the stuff home, try it on and return what you don't want. If everyone starts doing it, it will make an unholy mess of their accounts

I'm definitely not OK with changing rooms that aren't segregated where the only barrier between the individual stall and the rest of the space is a curtain.

Also, is this a room where you'd be trying on a jumper or a room where you'd be trying on a bra? Lingerie changing rooms would seem to be both a particularly unwise space to make unisex and exactly where any male person up to no good would most want to be.

I was under the impression that one of the reasons for keeping cubicles segregated was to stop couples going into a cubicle together and having sex.....

Perhaps that's less of a risk from the Clientele of M&S Per Una..

I just wish that they would get of the fence and make a decision properly. If sex segregation doesn't matter, then say that, open all changing rooms to all people and let customers decide what they think about that.

Ffs, really? All it takes is one man stamping his feet to get a policy changed?

This changing room stuff seems really weird to me. I live in Norway and it’s years since I’ve seen a segregated waiting room. All they need is cubicles and decent curtains (or better still, doors). It’s not difficult.
