Sainsbury don't give a stuff about women...

[quote AntiSocialDistancer]@Congressdingo

I saw Alex explaining how they missed out on the best time to be a woman, by transitioning in their 40s. Apparently the best time to be a woman is in your early 30s.

Considering that's also the average age to be a Mum with young children I was genuinely confused for someone with a beard to be telling me what a brilliant time in my life it was.[/quote]
Ah ya see , that's the power of Alex, theyself thinks that every word theyself utters is of utmost magnitude and absolutely true. Theyself is bringing women together though so there is that.

I’d say this opinion is absolutely what many women and lesbian/gay people also think,

They can identify all they like. Not legal unless grc, even then there are exceptions/exemptions. All these woke outfits are outside the law. Why so keen? it was/is so hard to get and keep equality for women, black & minority people, diffferently abled...

FFS. I just googled. I should not google on a restful Sunday evening.

"I give you Alex drummond, who tells us they are widening the bandwith of what it means to be a woman, with theys beard and all.

there are absolutely no requirements to identifying as a woman, I give you Alex drummond, who tells us they are widening the bandwith of what it means to be a woman, with theys beard and all.

Seriously though, self id means exactly what it says. Any man can by dint of telling his mum/nan/best mate/neighbour he is now a woman, and ta Daaa hes a woman. That's how easy it is to become a woman. Good times eh?

'Inclusive' doesn't solely mean trans-inclusive. People who use it that way need to widen their perspective.

'Inclusivity' which excludes certain groups isn't inclusive. Being genuinely inclusive requires intelligent, creative thought about how to achieve it, as well as concern for everyone in society.

And if one group in society has felt done-down or excluded in the past, doing down & excluding another group in retaliation or in a frantic rush to gain rights is counterproductive.

A couple of years ago, my local Sainsburys solved the changing room problem by removing them all. When I asked how I was supposed to buy clothes, I was told, "Just take it home, try it on & bring it back". Yes, but that means I have to buy, say, four dresses just to find the one that I want. And then I have to drive 15 mins there & back a second time to return the others & try to get my money back. Haven't bought any clothes there since they took the changing rooms out.

My best friend works for Sainsbos head office. HQ recently set up new email templates with "opt out" pronouns in the email signature. She's not impressed, and yes, she did opt out!

One thing that's weird in that Sun report, is that the changing rooms are said to be mixed gender (and there must be gaps at the bottom and top) yet they have male toilets

And my Sainsbury’s are not self contained cubicles. All the wash basins are outside in one main room

Ahhh ye olde “no man would dress as a woman ti attack women” chestnut

How very transphobic of you to think that a man needs to present as a woman to identify as one!

In all seriousness I still don’t get how ppl don’t understand this. The point of self ID is that no man has to present as a woman they simply have to say they are one. If that’s all that’s required then any man can stroll into any women’s spaces and not be challenged because remember it’s also transphobic to ask someone if they’re a woman - I mean misgendering is literal violence after all!

So bloke goes into the women’s loos in Sainsbury’s. How are we to tell if this is a man whose after assaulting someone, a man who just likes intimidating women, a man having a laugh cos anyone can be a woman these days amirite? Or a TW? How do we tell the difference?

Or should we just keep men out of women’s toilets no matter what they’re wearing!

Does it matter really when most Sainsbury's toilets are self contained rooms? Honestly I don't see the issue either way. Someone can't just decide on a whim that they're gonna be a female for the day to attack women. To be a female presenting member of staff how would you even know. And in a busy supermarket why would it even matter. People find it too easy to be offended these days

@PurgatoryOfPotholes yes, I remember the thread about someone having a passing crush on a neighbour with no intention at all on acting on it being told that they should leave their 'poor husband' as they obviously didn't care about their marriage. Absolutely bizarre. It seems like some posters just have extreme views about everything

I'm really beginning to wonder about some people on this forum.

Extremely out of date language in the same week that I saw the most ridiculous relationship advice from one user. Apparently women should seek a divorce if they have a momentary crush on someone else. (I still haven't worked out how this would work legally.)

I bet the same standards of behaviour don't apply to men who use porn heavily, though.

Shame if I have to boycott Sainsbury’s but that explains why it’s been so easy recently to get a delivery slot from them, if other people got the memo before I did.

Dried pears.

Your point of view is just out of place with the majority of the population and other women

Lol. No they really don't and thanks to Maya now longer have to shut up about it.

This is from last year. Sainsbury's already know mixed sex facilities are a problem for women.

Poor Mishy. Racist beyond belief which as a BAME person I'm disgusted at.
And I think you'll find that more and more women, once they find out about the outrageous behaviour of the MRA's/TRA's will turn from being your kind little "allies", "worker bees" and handmaidens to something much scarier. They will become women who don't center men in their every breath.
