Page 10 | M&S Colchester claim mixed changing is ‘completely safe’ for women.

How is it that M&S can continue to flaunt the high court ruling and do not offer single sex changing rooms? Abouterf in this video confronts the store manager and is fobbed off and told that it’s head offices policy: Colchester @marksandspencer I asked where the women’s changing room was to try on swimwear. Manager Andrew (he/ his /him) says gender neutral changing areas are “completely safe” for women and girls. For asking him this question, he told me to leave the store.

You asked for non white GCs

You got them.

What's your problem?

@Joanneken you're very much in the minority with your views. the vast majority of women want single sex spaces for entirely sensible reasons.

https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/51545-where-does-the-british-public-stand-on-transgender-rights-in-202425

'a new YouGov study, the fourth in a series reaching back to 2018, shows an increased scepticism towards transgender rights across the board – and particularly in the two and a half years since our previous wave of this study.
Notable in this most recent study – conducted in mid-December – is the growing resistance on transgender rights among those groups that are typically more permissive on the issue, like women and young people.'

Oh gosh, I wonder what could possibly have affected this polling.

I want to go to my nearest store and check it out. It's had a bit of a refurb and I can imagine the downstairs changing room, where there is only womens clothes says 'fitting rooms' and one upstairs at the back of the men's section could say 'mens'.

But its bloody hot. Maybe next week.

She would be exposed to the same in any retail environment.

You are really something, jumping to ask the Mother of a victim what is wrong with them, rather than addressing the elephant in the room.

MEN accessing female spaces.

No sex based rights? Okay.

So females shouldn't be allowed to ask for a female clinician?
Pregnancy protections and entitlements don't exist?
Of course sex based rights exist.

Mental.

Perhaps a more effective approach might have been for Abouterf to get changed in the mixed sex changing rooms, but on seeing a man in there have a PROPER panic attack and melt down about feeling threatened!

Do you think it's funny to try to humiliate women who don't want to undress in front of strange men?

The “sex-based rights” rhetoric ends up policing all women’s bodies and looks including women who are masc, disabled, intersex, older, or who do not conform to gender expectations, because attempts to enforce “biological” boundaries in public spaces inevitably affect many women, not just trans people.

Sex based rights is just another dog whistle.

Honestly - do they give you people a handbook to learn? Don't you get tired of repeating the same script non stop?

Of course there is such a thing - see the recent SC ruling which is very clear.

Why do you think women don't deserve them?

Why do you think that people who believe in basic scientific facts are a 'radicalised gender critical cult'.

That's absolutely unhinged and highly misogynistic talk
