Heya, it's thanks to this forum that I became at all aware of self ID and it's risks and thus the consultation which I have most definitely filled in!

Up until reading about the importance of sex segregated areas for women, I have to admit that I'd never really considered the fact that toilets and changing rooms are actually safe spaces. To lose them being predominantly for natal females would, on a subconscious level at least, actually make me feel less safe.

So if the self ID criteria does get relaxed would it be feasible to follow it as far as it goes? Man Friday again but on a much larger scale? I definitely don't think men have been as affected YET but I think they would be GC as hell if for example, they realised that by refusing to date a transwoman they are committing a hate crime (I think I'm following the 'cotton ceiling' to its logical counterpart). Going on what happened when Man Friday highlighted the Hampstead Ponds issue, I genuinely think that men would be very unhappy with obvious women in their safe spaces. And would probably be less likely to be attacked online and shut down in public when they are vocal in their displeasure.

If enough of us did it and identified as men to highlight the issue, could it have an effect? I'm sure it was someone on here who introduced me to the quote:
"The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly".

I've tried Google it didn't bring anything up in fact there as never been another mention of it. your post talks a lot about man Friday. also I beleive Hampstead Ponds are still inclusive to all too. same with youth hostiles and strangly the sleeker train.

If you’d been paying attention you’d know the answer to that. But as you’re asking you’re clearly just trying to stir up trouble. So I’m not going to indulge you by doing the work for you. The answers are all out there. Go find them yourself, lazy.

I don't think the license changing has anything to do with what I'm asking? Maybe you could try Google?

Well what happened did she change the license back proving how easy it really is to change gender. today would be a brilliant day to prove it it is Friday after all.

If an unsuitable law gets passed, it is up to us to highlight problems, and the unfortunate victims.

I agree but if we chose our areas carefully and did it in groups? I wouldn't want to go it on my own but if there were a few of us I would be prepared to take the risk. I doubt we'd have to do it too many times before men started (hopefully) appreciating the unintended consequences.
I'm not at full caffeine capacity yet either. You were fine though, think I might be a bit garbled!

what ever happened to man Friday? did that woman ever Chanfe her driving licence back, someone said she got talked to by the police.

I'd like to see the economy hit when women stop using changing rooms and do all our clothes shopping online affecting the High streets, pubs losing half their clientele because the women's toilets are no go areas Etc.

HOWEVER this would affect women the most as they'll be the majority of staff so we can't win whatever we do.

Definitely on the cards but it’s far harder to get a bad law repealed than to stop it being passed in the first place.

Unfortunately men are more violent than women, so the women who did that would be taking quite a risk - the same reason why we don't want men in women's spaces.

Sorry, a bit inarticulate, the coffee hasn't reached my brain yet
