Validation, validation, validation.

“The security guard said the gender neutral toilets are available. I said ‘Well, I don’t identify as gender neutral, I identify as a man”

Or 'mixed sex'

It should be renamed "sex-neutral" rather than "gender-neutral".

I propose a solution: TRAs and their allies use men's lavatories / men's changing rooms. That way, allies - who have no trouble sharing facilities with men - can put their money where their mouths are. TRAs will get validation from knowing that they are in the presence of women, which is what they want.

And women who do not want to have penises in private spaces reserved for women, will have those private spaces.

Tedious, self centred egotists.

I want. I shall have. I am more important than anyone else. I don't care about my impact on anyone else so long as I get my way. And nobody can ever say no to me ever.

This is supposed to be somehow some revolution in 'kindness' and 'inclusiveness' and 'progress', as opposed to sociopathic pathology and a total lack of social skills or empathy.

They need to be any sex not 'gender neutral'. Single sex loos male loos are for any male, no matter how macho or effeminate. Single sex female loos are for any female, regardless of how 'feminine' or butch.

'“It has now been clarified to all concerned that any person can use whichever toilet aligns with their gender identity."'

Bad decision. Seriously, wtf has 'gender identity' got to do with the reasons we have sex segregated loos?
