How long until the backlash forces a change in policy do you think?

Urgh that article. Always the same.

Sarah obsessed with her own feelings, her own needs, the importance of Sarah feeling comfortable and fuck everybody else. Sarah does not want to use an alternative provision, Sarah wants to do what Sarah wants to do.

Any woman daring to feel uncomfortable with the reality as opposed to Sarah's internal sense of self and not wanting to change in front of a male bodied person is just wrong and transphobic and ought to be stopped.

Male entitlement.

About 1 nanosecond. The member of staff should have said "no male bodied people are allowed in the female changing rooms" as then they'd at least been able to defend themselves without immediately succumbing to cries of transphobia.
