This is what happens when people have to listen to girls (and women. And the comments are good.

'No wonder the TRAs are laying into mumsnet so hard, the tide is turning and they are loosing their narcissistic shit.'

Yep, definitely looks that way. Very heartening

Well done that girl! The comments under the article are good too.

No wonder the TRAs are laying into mumsnet so hard, the tide is turning and they are loosing their narcissistic shit.

Did only the transgender voice matter? What about my daughter’s voice? Shouldn’t both be listened to?

Hypocrite doesn't listen to the disabled voice, just as bad as the TRA in my book.

Nice write up about a brave girl who didn’t take ‘no’ for an answer.

Hopefully it will give others the courage to do the same.

Unisex has to be an ‘as well as’ provision, not a replacement for single sex options.

Excellent. I think the gender neutral everything has been rolled out without people considering the needs of the majority. The trans lobby has shown that if we want something we have to be loud and persistent about it. It should be possible to provide privacy for trans people whilst not affecting single sex provision where people prefer that.

Hypocritical

What a hypothetical piece. I am alright Jack!

I’ve a son who goes to a different co-ed school, with a transgender pupil in his year. His school doesn’t have mixed WCs. Instead there are a couple of single disabled toilets that can be used by everyone — much more sensible.

If they are not fucking over females, they Fuck over the disabled. Only one protected characteristic group matters
and the lowest of the low are the disabled. Angry

Brave kid.

Lottapianos · 26/06/2018 18:11

Good news. More of this to come I hope

spontaneousgiventime · 26/06/2018 18:11

Excellent. Listen up schools, girls are on the march!

AngryAttackKittens · 26/06/2018 18:10

Well done that girl! Most people don't want unisex facilities. The majority should be able to overrule the minority in this situation.

And I thought that all young people were trans allies and it was just dinosaurs who thought things like sex segregation of toilets was a good thing...
