"Men menstruate too"

Men don't menstruate, because menstruation is part of the integrated cycle of women's reproductive ability to create life. All males lack that gift.

The adult human male does not have the organs necessary for menstruation. These authoritarian so called educators are going to set science back at least two generations.

As a PP has mentioned, there is a strong argument for bins in mens toilets. I think one of the Lords talked about this in their recent debate - Bins for Boys - as a legit campaign to ensure that men with continence issues have provisions to change and dispose of their pads in a dignified, private environment.

Surely a Biohazard Bin in Every Bog is the way to go?

Many TM are young, many will not pass. The thought of some poor kid potentially being harmed by a predatory male with overwhelming physical strength in the gents is heartbreaking.

The men's loos will have a row of urinals.

All the cubicles in the men's area will need to be designed and built differently to fit sanitary bins at a cost of ££££ to the university.

Are transmen really so self indulgent that they can't use the mixed sex cubicles? Are they so keen to walk past rows of urinals that they will never ever use? Make other men uncomfortable when see a female non-passing TM walk past?

The whole movement is so selfish. Oh the state of the youth today.

Has nobody handed them a grip yet? I think they need one.

How can this possibly show up on 5 out of 8 of the protected characteristics in a equality impact assessment? It could edge into the gender reassignment one, at best?

They have included age as a characteristic along with waffle that older people will have mobility issues meaning they may have to walk further to find a suitable toilet.

This is nonsense and ageist. Most women stop menstruating between late 40s to mid 50s.

No woman in that group would consider herself old. Fgs you don't qualify for any senior person discounts or privileges at that age.

If a woman in that age group has a mobility issue it will be a mobility issue in its own right connected to an underlying disability or health issue. The assumption that women in their late 40s to mid 50s are older people who will have mobility issues is ageist.

They should have to fund these bins from the LGBT allocated funds, hopefully seeing it next to some real issues would help them see how it isn't a real issue.

Can't they just identify out of menstruation?

I fucking would.

SU can be very daft at times. Back in the mid 80s my Uni's SU decided it would ban Jokes about the Irish in the Rag Mag as they were racist. Fair enough. Same old jokes appeared but this time they featured Polish people going into bars..... Absolutely no insight that Polish people would also find jokes offensive. SU are NOT the font of all knowledge

It's a complete load of bollocks but the advantage is it will get sanitary bins into mens loos which are necessary and under provided for men with incontinence issues, freeing up the disabled changing room. It's interesting to see that trans men>disabled men in this particular hierarchy. Shame about the wording though

I'm also an alumna who saw this and instantly became dubious of the Equality Impact Assessment that hit 5/8 problems for this but failed to protect women threatened with rape on campus.
However I am not surprised, the first time I saw the T**f word was on my Facebook from someone who was an officer at the union when I was there. It was all about campaigns back then, probably as students have so much free time. Nearly a decade later and they are still campaigning in their little bubble but for a new cause. This wasn't on the radar when I was there, and I'm glad because I can't say that I wouldn't have been sucked into the 'be kind' mentality. Old age (30 ) and moreover motherhood has made me think more critically.
I really think now was not the time to publish such a statement regardless, given what's going on in the news.
I'm finally delurking on here, but still not bold enough to do so on social media because so many people on my "friends" list are 100% TWAW.

Ask them to work out how much it would cost for the extra bins (they aren't cheap) and if that money couldn't be better spent on other things such as free sanitary protection instead.

They probably needed AAA to study there

I’m all for sanitary bins in the men’s. Maybe male architects of the future will realise how nasty it is to be jammed up against one and design cubicles better.

absolutely.

And what is the problem with a trans man using the gender neutral toilets?

Good to know that at a time of national crisis, the SU has its fingers on the pulse.

One issue this does raise for me, though, is: how many trans men are using the men's toilets? Because my guess would be: not very many.

@CumbrianYellowBee89

Cal me old fashioned I don't care. But only women menstruate.
I'm all for supporting everyone's believe but there are only to genders sexes; male and female. People's sexual identity is completely different yes, but gender sex is one or the other.

Fixed that for you! Gender is just personality and can be anything you want it to be.
Sex is binary.
If it isn't, how come there are only two options, Male-to-Female and Female-to-Male? Where are the other 100--1000-1 million possible transformations?

We need to stop indulging this misinformation, and it starts with the words we use. We cannot allow a horde of students to redefine common words that everyone in the world understands.

Warwick, eh?
I'm an alumna. They're always asking me for money. I think an email is in order saying I certainly won't support an institution that in any way facilitates the promulgation of anti-scientific nonsense.

Following the column in the Telegraph at the weekend about David Thomas' journey to becoming Diana, there were some interesting discussions around colonialism.

This is pure invade and take all the best bits & privileges colonialism.

Would I be wrong in thinking that some people aren't ready for university and need to be sent back to mixed infants?

If some men menstruate too, why are there no sanitary bins in men’s toilets?

They should have had a think about that first word before writing the rest of that statement.

When an initial 'If' is false, you ignore what follows.

Liberation from both logic and science?

Ah, so women have paid the opportunity costs so far, but now it's time to pay the real costs (twice the sanitary bins, plus PHS or some other company's emptying service), and someone has balked.

Ha.

I think this idiocy is probably part of an actual strategy - normalising TWAW and TMAM by having it subliminally enforced on you in society - i.e. men menstruate - where the biological reality is...err... umm...no they don’t.

There are also apparently aged people still menustrating, —and still playing dress up--who can’t walk as far, hence age discrimination
