‘If trans women use men’s toilets, they will be subjected to humiliation, abuse and violence.

Anyone with any sense knows this.

Which is why in practice trans women will not use men’s toilets, and will just increasingly be driven out of society.’

let’s just drive women out of society then eh? Because the same stands for women having to share with men in dresses ffs

have I missed something btw? Seems a random

A man with an obvious visceral hatred of actual women, why anyone listens to little "Talcum X" is completely beyond me.

Let’s not forget the very satisfying moment he (unintentionally) misgendered one of the Palestine hunger strikers and got absolutely roasted for it (by their supporters). Hence a frantic and very appeasing series of statements in a bid to quell the anger.

I had a bit of a to and fro with someone on Facebook yesterday. Apparently sex isn't just chromosomes, it's how hormones affect the brain, I've been told! So XY chromosomes and something affecting hormones equals female. I ask you!!

I feel like it’s all been made so vague and incomprehensible that it can mean anything they want it to mean.

I have to admit that, even though it was expected, the sheer misogyny the EHRC code has unleashed has been very depressing.

Dear Owen,
So fix the men so this won't happen.
Love and kisses,

I wonder what would have happened if he’d managed to secure a womb for hire, but received a baby girl from it.

The horror.

If it was really just about trans identified males' safety then Jones and his buddies would campaign for provision for trans identified males that both kept this group safe and didn't endanger women.

Quite so!!

Owen Jones is an idiot who appears to inhabit some kind of parallel and extremely narrow universe . I have rarely agreed with anything he had to say because I live in the real world inhabited by a wide range of people.

The trans lobby is incredibly strong for such a proportionately small number of people affected by their issues. The fact that they have been happy to see young girls put at risk (communal toilets at school; communal changing rooms) so they get their way tells you everything you need to know about them.

"‘If trans women use men’s toilets, they will be subjected to humiliation, abuse and violence."
I'm sure that will suit those who have both the cross-dressing and the humiliation fetish down to the ground.

There is no evidence of men being violent, nasty or even calling out trans women in men's toilets, if there were it would be all over the news.

As for Facebook, my feed is currently full of the same AI written BS under different "posters" all claiming that the SC ruling and the guidance will hurt LBGTQ+ and women.

I have even seen several posters saying that this will turn women's spaces in to unisex spaces. Which is barmy as we all know that letting trans women in to women's spaces already turns them in to unisex, but you can already seee the level of intelect that are being put into the posts.

This seems to be the latest line in propaganda - telling women that trying to defend women's rights is pointless because it only makes it worse for women.

Where were all these hordes of poor wronged women-who-really-can't-be-distinguished-from-men before trans activism needed them to "prove" a point? I've been using women's public toilets for years and haven't seen them.

He’s engagement farming/trying to position himself as the gay man’s warrior and stay relevant, all while enjoying expressing his spite about women. Same old, same old in fact.

RedToothBrush · 24/05/2026 16:48

Omg he's lowering himself to FB. How very dare him and his activist credentials.

Aww bless, there is a ring of nostalgia to Owen's posting now isn't there, like a cruise ship cabaret singer powering through Total Eclipse of the Heart while the crew quietly lower the lifeboats and depart.....

Surely he's just insulted all men including himself 🤷‍♀️ He is obviously one of the types who would ridicule a man in a dress because if he was going to be supportive that's the more important thing for him to say.

This is what I was wondering - how would he treat a trans women in the male toilets? If he's fine with it, then great, maybe he should call out those who aren't.

If he's not fine with it, then what kind of nasty individual is he?

I’m puzzled at where this idea that men are violent towards trans women has come from. After all, we women are repeatedly told we have an exaggerated fear of male violence and that we are “weaponising” our trauma when we ask men to stay out of our spaces.

So is it reasonable or unreasonable to fear male violence? Or are we supposed to believe that men are so aggressive that they will harm a trans woman, but simultaneously so gentle that they won’t harm women?

There are places I would recommend an effeminate man to avoid, because of the risk of aggression from other men. But those places are few and far between. If such an effeminate man was wearing a dress, side eye or a comment such as "the state of him" is the worst I would expect elsewhere.

The type of men (claiming to be women) who are older, more sexualised in their clothing choices, and who appear absurd rather than effeminate, I have mostly come across on social media or in news reports. I don't honestly know how aggressive men would react to them, though I can imagine some men being quite assertive if they perceived that type of man to be bothering anyone.

Certainly in the gents, I would expect nearly all men to studiously ignore any man in women's clothing, just as they would ignore odd behaviour by a man who clearly has a learning disability.

The same place that 'people' ie trans women are dying because they aren't allowed to do whatever the fuck they like came from.

So he admits that transwomen don’t pass then?

It would seem his little thought process hasn't got that far yet ...

@ShutupLwren lol what? Am I missing sarcasm here? Unisex sporting categories and prison wings would be an absolute disaster for women, no?

they can opt out. If they don’t want to compete in unisex category, don’t.
If youre wanting to identify as a woman when youre a man in prison then go to a wing designated for that. You’re given the option. If you don’t want to be with your biological sex, you can have a unisex option.

Justme56 · 24/05/2026 15:03

I remember last year some MP complaining about what happens if a pregnant woman needs to use the men’s - can she not do it now? Silly example because if she was queuing for the ladies and needed some urgency most women would let her through, but also highlighting that she thinks it’s safe enough for pregnant women why not every TW.

moto748e · 24/05/2026 15:01

So is it reasonable or unreasonable to fear male violence?

Broadly unreasonable, I think. I'd agree with @AlecTrevelyan006 's assessment upthread.

GargoylesofBeelzebub · 24/05/2026 14:50

funny how he didn’t give a shit about the women who were self excluding because of males on our spaces. He’s just a vile misogynist
