Newcastle students put sanitary bins in gents for the gender neutral

Sanitary bins are to be placed in male lavatories at a university so that gender-neutral students can use facilities “they feel most comfortable with”.

Article in the Times by Gabriella Swerling

I'm sure our second hand tampon and towel wearers will be over the moon at this news.

NOT SAN BUNS

I identified as gender fluid the other day to use the gents. San buns in the gents are a great idea. My identity always wavers when I see a long queue.

Is it not to help trans men who haven't had surgery?

Well it's only fair. Otherwise the female loo becomes the female and all transpeople loos.

It's good, the tampon fetishists don't have to come into the women's any more.

Picassospaintbrush Double, double dare you. You have to provide a link or screenshot though Grin Sorry I assumed you didn't have ST, my bad.

This is a good move, imo. It's not hurting anyone and will help trans men.

Picassospaintbrush · 05/06/2018 20:22

I have one. Do you dare me?
Will it pass the mods?

That did spring to mind, I'm tempted to link the article.....

A move which should be supported

What perf said

It will probably trigger male born individuals who ID as men (although there won't be the wailing and gnashing of teeth like some people).

Actually, I think it’s brilliant. Men are, rarely, affected by this self ID nonsense and many think women are over reacting or saying ‘serve the feminists right’. If they have to have the icky sanitary stuff in their toilets, then bring it on. When it starts making men feel uncomfortable, then it might make them think twice.

Now waiting for all the NAMALTS and shouts of TERF. 😴
