Probably outing since I use this leisure centre frequently, I know it's not the first incident in the 3 years or so since it changed from single sex facilities.

Comments on local FB page with women saying they now feel unsafe taking their kids there, but I'm sure all council facilities in our region are mixed sex, they have also done away with all womens only swim and health suite sessions.

a TRA arguing that ALL fitting rooms are supervised and acting as if I was lying or stupid to say otherwise

Maybe if you only go shopping on a Saturday that might be true.. but if you're popping in with the toddler on a Tuesday morning, no. The changing rooms are not supervised - in fact, I can't actually think of the last time I saw a supervised changing room.. probably about 10 years ago getting jeans in Matalan!

So effing tired of being told, usually by men, that women's concerns about safety and privacy come from a place of bigotry or pearl-clutching rather than, you know, rational concerns about SHIT MEN ACTUALLY DO.

How stupid to blame his pervy habit on cannabis smoking, never heard that one before.

The fitting rooms weren't supervised.

I had this exact twitter row with someone over a year ago, a TRA arguing that ALL fitting rooms are supervised and acting as if I was lying or stupid to say otherwise. Makes me so angry

I've contacted a local feminist group to see if they are interested in campaigning for single sex facilities. It is certainly a subject I want to challenge.

As far as I know the sports and leisure trust have made no public comment.

I went to my nearest Gap yesterday and discovered their fitting rooms were now mixed sex (they used to have 2, now just 1 mixed).

I had a buggy with me and waited for the one large cubicle. After an age I heard the "snap" noise of the disabled seat flipping up & a man came out, without any clothes with him. He legged it away. I then had to spend ages trying to see if there was anything suspect inside as he clearly hadn't been trying anything on. The fitting rooms weren't supervised. Tbh I don't think I'll bother returning.

Yet more evidence that mixed changing is a truly lousy idea. What a creep.

This never happens though right?

Is anyone expected to have sympathy for him? All that "he was scared, nervous, asked to leave by the back door"

Gargh!

So what are the sports centre saying? What are they going to do to stop this? I hope people hit the sports centre with a petition/protests to get single sex changing reinstated.

Second incident this year alone.

The wetherspoons toilets are also like any other spoons ie down several flights of stairs so an easy target. Thankfully I have my radar key so can use the disabled upstairs.
