In the Pennys near me, changing rooms are either ‘women’ only’ or ‘all gender’.

Is it legal under Irish law to exclude men who say they identify as women from women-only changing rooms?

In Ireland I think men with a GRC saying they are women would be entitled to enter the changing room. So the Pennys sign is misleading as many people seeing it might assume its for actual women - not people who say their gender is ‘woman’?

No point in two changing rooms if everyone is allowed in both. They are treating their customers as idiots.

Penny's 'women only' changing rooms are mixed sex as they are based on gender identity.
