I chased a man out of the changing rooms ----

I agree, and anyone who laughs at others appearance is awful in my eyes, whether it's the poster laughing at trans people or the one saying they laugh at fat unattractive women.

I was in M&S on Friday and noticed for the first time that the toilets are now gender neutral ...I was with a friend but would not have been happy had my granddaughters had to use them ,knowing males could have been in there .

If that's true, I'm fairly sure they're liable for being discriminatory against women?
I can't remember the exact specifics, but legally there's something about they're not allowed to have a space for one sex exclusively, whilst not offering the same for the other sex - Or something like that anyway :S

I am for real. My local M&S has one changing room. It is next to the women's underwear and from experience it seems that its women who use it most often but it's not women only. The larger city store has 2 changing rooms, each on a different floor.
Neither changing room is exclusively for trying on underwear but I do believe bra measuring service is in one only.
This wasn't a man trying on underwear (it would have made no difference to me). It was a man joining his partner so he could view her 'outfit'.

If you're the type of person who laughs at someone because of how they look, what difference does it make who you're laughing at?

fat

Yes, they still said what they said though. Funny how people keep speaking for the poster who said they fight back the urge to laugh at far or unattractive women but they haven't actually come back to explain whether they do laugh or not at them.

Erm I think this poster was responding to another who said she basically had to fight the urge to laugh at transwomen.

Every review has been passed by a moderator before publishing.

I was in Marks trying something on - a woman beckoned her boyfriend or husband for their opinion but luckily the staff member said men were not allowed in the women’s changing area !!👏👏👏👏

There’s a special category of porn where men have left hidden cameras in changing rooms. Now they have free access it’s everywhere.

All M and s changing cubicles have lockable doors now.

I would not feel threatened by a man in that situation.

&Stop the nonsense there are no Thai ladyboys or the new precious petite youth in our changing rooms, toilets, sports etc*

Why is it nonsense for a poster to point out that there are younger (as in young at age 22) who are trans but can pass more than someone who didnt transition until say in their 40s or whatever?
They know someone who is.
Does it disrupt your "men in wigs" narrative, you don't like to hear it?
Younger trans people exist. If you don't see them, they clearly pass then don't they! Which kind of goes against the " but but I can always tell"

I have to say I'm guilty of this. I'm not from the UK and had never experienced single sex fitting rooms before. But learned after being told off that better stay at the store side and wait for partner to make the catwalk 😁

Are you for real?

M+S, ladies'underwear section. It's all cubicles and to be fair, nowhere does it say that it is a women-only changing room, but I think it's likely to be seen as such by most users since it's in the bra-and-knicker-selling section of the shop and there are other changing rooms elsewhere!

Until about 5 minutes ago, those changing rooms were labelled WOMEN, and no man would have dreamed of entering. Well, some men would have dreamed of entering the women's changing rooms, but they would have been kept out, both by social convention and by the M&S's policy.

Even now, with all labelling removed, why should any man even think of entering the changing room within the women's lingerie section, where women are likely to be in a state of undress?

If a man wants to try on women's lingerie, there is no reason why he shouldn't. But I wonder why he doesn't do so in the changing rooms situated within menswear?

I am fascinated that many PPs are happily trivialising women's views on the inappropriateness of men in women's fitting areas but none of them will take issue with the Secrets, lies and the GRA thread where they would have to do a bit of mental heavy lifting.

Sorry I can't provide a link to the other thread - a restriction of using the app.

Yes, but again you're ignoring when someone is saying that you can't always tell, even if you're insistent "I can always tell because men in wigs!"
No. No you can't. That's the point you keep missing.

To honestly I really don't see the issue, if you get changed within the cubicle then why would you feel exposed or uncomfortable, he's there with his partner not prowling on his own.
My OH will often come to the male area and give me the nod on clothes I try on.

Easy;
it's Men are required to change in the Men's changing rooms.
Even precious petite delicate flowers like your friend's son is a male.

I don't give a damn about male transexuals and their wants.

I was very recently in an M&S changing room (near the lingerie section) when the member of staff politely prevented a man from entering telling him "I'm afraid you can't go in as there are women trying on underwear". I expect she'll now have to attend some kind of "awareness" training?!

For real? That sounds like Mike Pence who won’t have a meeting alone with a woman or something like that. Men have been buying underwear for women for a long time.

I’m not endorsing puberty blockers - just pointing out that many transsexuals from younger generations do not look like “men in wigs”

I don’t see how changing areas can enforce a “no transexual” rule based on appearance.

Sorry, your post isn't clear - do you mean they were in the middle of the women's clothing aisle, not the changing room?
Just talking and hanging around on the "women's clothes' side? If so, what's wrong with that?
