Which supermarkets can GC women shop in? Not Tesco it seems.

If it's that big a deal to you (the tiny chance you will knowingly encounter a trans woman in the bathrooms who is there to pee same as you and has no interest in you whatsoever) then just order your groceries to be delivered to you?

The new PM has recently said he isn't going to change the equality act to bar trans women from using women's facilities (and the same for trans men), so this isn't going to change any time soon.

Shop where you want and pre at home.

You'd think a massive co like Tesco would have run that past their lawyers first, though.

Is this legal? Mightn’t this sign that TWAW or you can’t work here requirement be discriminatory against a person with a protected belief that a transwoman is not the same sex as a woman, and that women ( and men) are supposed to have sex based lavatories?

my comment was in answer to the person who was talking about Tesco sacking staff if they don’t agree with their training etc

Perhaps they've started putting them in 'new build' premises. But this is a classic case of 'if it ain't broke..." isn't it? For decades, we've had a system that worked tolerably well: toilets marked Gents and Ladies. Obviously it could be abused, but by and large... And now the consensus seems to be to change to various different arrangements, all of which seem to suffer from the flaw that they are worse for women than the 'old' way. Biggest laff is, it's called 'progressive'. 🙄Supermarkets in particular, whose customers are mostly women anyway, need to be told that women don't want this.

My nearest Lidl has one. I think it's just one fully enclosed cubicle though.

Indeed. Thanks for capturing this now that it is deleted.

I think this and the post telling us that it is not productive of our time to ensure that women and children have spaces they feel safe in during their every day life outside of emergency services to be great examples of people who have little awareness and knowledge outside of their own belief system. That these posters feel they have some kind of moral superiority to come and attempt to shame others for caring about this issue is all that needs to be seen really.

Operation: Let them speak in action.

Maybe this video will show how ignorant it is to lecture women on what they should and shouldn’t need.

Here is just one of the critique videos from somebody who I have not heard of but is just one of the now many videos about this ad.

Don't Aldi and Lidl solve the problem by not having public toilets at all? I've never seen a branch that had them.

Omg get a grip. Who actually uses supermarket toilets anyway? If you can’t go 40 mins without needing to have a wee, then maybe you’ve got bigger problems than bumping into the 0.1% of the population

alexa, show me what a luxury belief looks like

That's really rude. Lots of people have issues that mean they may need the loo at short notice. Don't be so bladder/bowelnormative

nice ableism there. Well fucking done.

The most common cause of urinary incontinence in women is childbirth injury and menopause, something a TW won't experience or understand.

What does 'treating them as a woman' actually mean when it comes to a supermarket that would be difficult for you? Surely just treat them as normal customers, no need to gender anyone and last I knew woman don't go around greeting each other with a pat on the vagina so no need to be exposed to any penises

And why do you think the women using the food banks and the shelters will never appreciate the ability to have single sex spaces in place? Do you think that women using those services will just have to then forget having single sex spaces in the places they work (now or in the future) or where they go when out in public?

Perhaps you have a rather narrow view of what women and children need shaped by your own political priorities rather than a view to current reality and the future needs of the people who think you are advocating for. If you really are focused on only advocating for women and children that is.

Why not do something productive with your obvious high amount of free time like volunteer at a food bank or women’s shelter? Do you really think toilets are an issue?

Who do you think is volunteering at the food banks? Mine is GC central.
Oh by the way men are not welcome in female toilets.

Oh my god.

Why has no one else thought of this??????

This isn't what's under discussion. Treating so-called 'transwomen' as women would include accepting them coming into the women's toilets. She should be able to say that she doesn't agree with this and refuse to sign that she will treat so-called 'transwomen' as women in all circumstances.

Belief in biological reality is protected.

I have used toilets in Sainsbury's Tesco Waitrose and Morrisons recently. None were marked gender neutral.
They were the usual men's and women's.

Oh yes, but isn’t purposely calling people by a gender that is different to what they chose, or by a different name than they chose, considered abusive?

Popped into Sainsbury's yesterday. Used the loos, they are not gender neutral. Ladies, Men’s, baby changing with loo inside.

And your post shows just how little you know of other’s lives. And how little you understand either children or pregnant women/women who have had babies.

FFS!. It takes me 40 minutes just to get to the supermarket on the bus. Not everyone has the privilege to have a car or to have a car on hand.

Yes, women and children use supermarket toilets. You must live a rather privileged life to not ever have done so.

The staff. Locker rooms are gender neutral as well now I beleive
