Apparently this is serious now.

A man walked in on me in a changing room – but what happened next was even more shocking
Women are often told to shrug things off but this type of behaviour rarely happens in isolation, writes Olivia Petter. If we don’t take it more seriously, who knows where it may lead?

Isn't it fine if the man is wearing a dress though? I am confused.

What's the difference?

This man had trousers on probably.

Don’t get too excited as Olivia (the journo) was adamant this was a cisgender man.

Ugh what a fool she is.

Indeed what is the difference? One man has said he's a woman and (possibly; it's entirely optional) dressed like one. Because after all we wouldn't want to police and restrict who can claim a trans identity, literally any male can claim one. Et voila.

What a horrible experience for her.

But yeah, if the guy claimed to be a tw it would have been a different scenario because kindness!

This came up on my news feed and I was taken aback that itwas printed in the fully TWAW Independent. Possibly the paper is algorithmically feeding us the articles it thinks that we want to see now?

Good piece and good to name the shop. I'll make sure I and, hopefully all my friends, don't shop in Selfridges.

I can’t believe the police came round. I wonder if she told them she was a journalist?

Hopefully Olivia can now imagine why mums (who have often had lots of challenging experiences) want to protect their daughters and other young women who seem naive to the dangers of mixed sex spaces.
Unsurprisely enough, men target changing rooms and toilets - the more secluded the better. All these new mixed sex toilets with doors right down to the floor are perfect for them.

Total hypocrites

Is the Independent not fully TWAW, women objecting are bigots and transphobes and if a man wants access to women when undressed, crack on mate??
