Kathleen Stock has drawn attention to this new Toilets and Changing Facilities Statement from the University of Kent. Principle 2 stipulates that people will not be challenged regarding gender access requirements.

It's the logical conclusion of self-id.

I'd recommend all women at the university to start complaining about the state of ALL the toilets. Men's toilets can be vile (although with shorter queues) and they may get very fed up with the complaints of women who can't find a clean toilet to sit down in.

It's quite literally a pissing contest where males, once again assert their dominance over females.

It's clear sex discrimination and female oppression.

The uni will get away will the bullshit because the toilets are labelled as female despite being mixed sex.

I have a disabled mother so i don't say this lightly. Women at this university should use the disabled loos. This is not safe.

So men have single-sex facilities but women don't? That is dismaying.

Glossary
Single-gender facilities - facilities separated into male and female, of which trans and gender nonconforming (GNC) can use whichever they feel most comfortable using. For instance, a trans woman
can use either the women's or the men’s facilities, whichever she is most comfortable in.

Gender-inclusive facilities - Facilities that are not separated by gender identity and can be used by anyone, regardless of gender.

Accessible facilities - Facilities designed for people with disabilities. Disabilities can be visible or invisible. . Trans identity is not a disability and trans or GNC people should not feel compelled to use these facilities

Yep mixed sex, mixed sex, mixed sex...

Males can use whichever they want to feel comfortable. Women cannot use any to feel comfortable and safe. Women budge up and share.

So, mixed sex, mixed sex and unisex accessible, then.

Almost - Men's, mixed sex, mixed sex and unisex accessible, then.

I wonder if they have considered how this might impact the educational possibilities of women of certain minorities background who really need single sex facilities because of cultural/ religious reasons Sad.

ClunkingOtter's comment in the thread: 'This is a clear message: feeling comfortable is now a recognized need, or right, or privilege, for everybody except women.'

@Whatsnewpussyhat

What exactly are single gender facilities?
Where we chat about lipstick while swishing our hair, duh! Who cares how we pee? etc

So any man can use the women's toilets and changing rooms then. Why don't they just say that it plain english instead of banging on about diversity.
