Apparently there has only been one single complaint to English Councils about single sex spaces in 2025

I tried to complain about something recently, but apparently I got the wrong email address. I got a short reply a week later along the lines “you have emailed the General Contacts and we don’t deal with any complaints. You’ll have to email someone else if you want to complain.”

No attempt to forward my complaint or provide the correct contact - and when I searched online I couldn’t find any other address to approach. I gave up!

I suspect many complaints just get ignored like mine, because our public servants don’t want complaints or frankly to have to do any actual work to help resolve public concerns, they just want a quiet life.

That's brilliant! Can I have a glass of what you've been drinking?

I would think so but given pp mentioned her friend’s son was gay maybe he is into the casual sex scene? But even then I would expect some level of discernment about partners, especially if he has a boyfriend.

Says a boy who apparently cannot imagine, and has never heard his friends speak of, the abusive and voyeuristic things men get up to in cubicles next to those occupied by women.

Quite.

Problem solved then. Great job.

So there will be no problems with transwomen using the men's toilets then. They can use a cubicle and it doesn't matter who else is there.

You should be in there on your own.

Wasn’t that done by the same guy that did FOIs to hospitals or some such and claimed the responses showed that there’s never been any problems reported with men in female wards.

Obviously glossing over the numerous incidents they couldn’t hide and were actually prosecuted and reported in MSM. And the refusal of many hospital trusts to even record such incidents cos it’s transphobic to even contemplate that a man who calls himself a woman has committed a crime like rape, voyeurism or indecent exposure.

Surely if you are in a cubicle it matters a great deal who else is in there?

My friends son made a great point the other day when he got home from school, he said that if you're in a cubicle it really doesn't matter who is in there.

His mother and I are so proud of him and his new boyfriend.

Are you feeling quite alright? You seem to have drifted off into Terribleattemptatanalogyland.

Why are you having a pop at OP?

Women wanting single sex spaces are not ‘vexatious organised activists’. Hope that helps.

I have complained in prior years to local council and private facilities that receive public grants. Never received any acknowledgement. I am sure many complaints were binned and not recorded correctly.

Oh stop! My sides are about to split!
You're genuinely hilarious

I agree, it is genuinely hilarious that somebody would so persistently pursue an unfounded vexatious complaint about a facility they don't even use themselves.

You are absolute comedy gold!
Keep going!

I don't know what you mean, I'm genuinely furious that my multiple complaints about bears in the gents toilets weren't taken with the seriousness they deserve. This isn't any laughing matter, my son could have been eaten by that bear, if there had been a bear, and if he had been in those toilets at the time, and if he was speaking to me instead of ignoring all my texts warning him about bears.

Please, no one report that ^ for deletion. It needs to stand. It's priceless!

(to be clear, I mean the bear post!)

Because you're posting on an activist forum to organise further activism.

Me, approaching the manager of a gym: Excuse me, I’d like to make a complaint. There’s a bear in the gent’s toilets.

The Manager: Oh my goodness. Did you see this bear?

Me: No, I didn’t actually see it, I’m just worried that it’s in there.

The Manager: Well, have you checked?

Me: No, I can’t check, I’m a woman, I can’t go in there.

The Manager: OK, so what is the basis of your concern exactly?

Me: That there’s a bear in there.

The Manager: Ok. So you’re worried that there might be a bear in this toilet that you don’t use?

Me: Yes. I’m concerned about protecting men.

The Manager: Has a man told you that there’s a bear in there?

Me: No, but I know they’re just scared to speak up, so I need to do it for them.

The Manager: Ok, so you haven’t seen a bear, no one’s told you there’s a bear, you can’t check if there’s a bear, but you’re complaining that there’s a bear?

Me: Yes.

The Manager: And just to be clear, you don’t use these facilities yourself, so you’re complaining about the bear on behalf of the people that do, even though they haven’t asked you to?

Me: Yes. And if you don’t take my complaint seriously I’ll take legal action.

The Manager: Ok, I’ll send someone to check.

5 minutes later

The Manager: Ok, there is no bear, and the men in there have asked you to
please stop hanging around the door and peering in looking for bears because it’s making them uncomfortable.

Me: I’m furious this wasn't taken seriously, I’d better go and tell Mensnet about this, I’m sure they will appreciate my efforts to protect them from bears
