A man. A man who looks like a man, and identifies as a man,
isn't allowed in a women's changing room. How terribly transphobic and sexist. Read the comments and the way he ignores women's concerns, as even if 1 out of a 1000 men, (he kind of forgets who he is meant to be championing here) was bad you shouldn't be able to tar all of male kind with the same brush. one out of a thousand eh? Hmm.

It's all so thinly disguised isn't it?

Well done to the Primark staff who decided that a man demanding he be allowed in a changing room with a young girl, is the last man who should be allowed in.

What a total dick.

He had such a good basis for his article. Shame he took it totally down the wrong road and made it all about the stunning and brave.

It's such a tired argument isn't it? How do we know out of those 1000 men who the safe ones are?

I should also make it clear that at no point did I directly identify as a man. The staff felt entitled to assume my gender, simply based on the way I looked.

This is all like some fever dream of a world where clearly male people can't be assumed not to be women. It's beyond surreal.

Exactly - it's a wedge in the door provided by TRA's that enables all men who have zero regard for women's privacy and safety to stick their size 12's into and push through.

And there it is. It was only a matter of time, I wish I’d had money on this happening. First we must allow TW in no matter how they present, now dads single and gay and otherwise and then granddads - yes there was a reply there from a granddad accompanying his granddaughter to dance class - and what if big brother is taking little sis shopping?
And since, apparently, only 1 man in a thousand is dangerous (not that he hasn’t just pulled that figure out of his arse) it’s sexist to keep the other 999 out of women’s spaces.

I wish I could say it’s unbelievable but it just all too fucking depressingly fucking believable and to fucking depressingly fucking predictable.

It is a good example that the original intent of the Primark rule change is already shamelessly being tested by a man who admits that he is not trans but just inconvenienced by not being able to change his daughter.
Hasn't it occurred to him that these safeguards of sex segregation that he is trying to remove will benefit her?
