The lady’s age isn’t mentioned, but it’s quite possible that she did not receive the SALT & audiology input she required when she was younger. Even if her parents had insurance they may not have covered what was required; & if they changed insurers, or were previously uninsured & got insurance after her birth, it’s possible their daughter would’ve been denied coverage for her “pre-existing condition”. Dental care is often a separate plan & frequently very expensive. It is possible that the lady may thus not have had braces - or, alternatively, if she did have them, she had them at the “usual” time, which harms language development in children with Down’s Syndrome.
The lady’s speech being indistinct has no reflection on her ability to correctly sex other members of her species; nor, clearly, to understand rules about how one behaves in public. People with intellectual disabilities are seven times more likely to be sexually assaulted than people who are not disabled, so this woman has, rightly, been taught male people are not allowed into the women’s toilets. It’s a rule.
The male complainant has spent no time trying to get to know the woman so the male complainant does not understand her speech. I have no doubt but that she has colleagues & even customers who do understand her, even if it has taken time & it is with difficulty. No decent person describes the speech of another as “grunts” like this - it’s a deliberate attempt to dehumanise a disabled woman.
By their own logic, all those people advocating for reporting the woman [& getting her fired] are Nazis. Who did the Nazis kill first? Who did they justify the killing of in children’s textbooks? Their own rules & rhetoric make the lot of them Nazis jackbooting all over the rights of the disabled - more specifically, disabled women - but never will they see that. Because Reasons.
Women with T21 are less likely to have an IQ under 20 & more likely to have one higher than 70. Most people with Down’s Syndrome have only a mild-moderate cognitive delay; & while some are more severely impacted, some are of average intelligence. Conflating communication difficulties with intelligence is an error that causes harm to an already disadvantaged population.
”Tell me I’m not punching down by lashing out at a disabled woman I am depicting as seriously cognitively delayed & barely able to communicate with others!” cries the trans woman seeking to colonise a female space. “Of course you’re not! She is an evil transphobe & must be destroyed! You are stunning & this is brave.” chorus the enablers obligingly, obediently - or simply in exchange for similar reassurance. They are “the right side of history” & their tanks will roll over any & all opposition to the colonisation of womanhood while mere females are to stand back and “enjoy your erasure”.
But sadly for them: Vive la Resistance! In all its many & varied forms, including a courtesy clerk with Down’s Syndrome who isn’t afraid to tell a male individual that the ladies’ loos are for female people.
