They were discussing whether transgender people should have access to the ward of the sex they identify as.

3 of the presenters brought up the valid concerns of the safety of women but it seems Stacey Solomon thinks that its terribly unkind of women to not feel comfortable having penis in their personal space when they're vulnerable in a hospital ward.

We should ignore our own discomfort because a transwomen doesn't feel comfortable on a ward full of men 😑

Generally I like Stacey, but I cannot agree with her disregarding the concerns surrounding putting male bodies in spaces with vulnerable women. Apparently Karen White is a rare example of someone abusing self ID, so we should ignore that it happened because it doesn't happen often.

Women are collateral damage.

Didn't see it-but even IF Stacey doesn't mind sharing with males, there will be many women that don't feel comfortable & will never be asked-thats whats so depressing-women not being consulted on changes that directly affect them.

It's fascinating to me how many people - men and women - prioritise male feelings over female. It seems to be a default setting.

I don’t want to change in a room with men. Why is that hatred of men? I’d really rather not change in a room of smelly kids either.

I generally like Stacey aswell but I had a feeling she would think like this. Disappointing.

Maybe they needed someone to play devils advocate. Very few women are happy to be in a space where they are undressed/in night clothes/ showering where similarly attired men are wandering around.
