fuckwittery
the EHRC ‘insisting’ on single-sex toilets excluding trans people.
Well, only if they try to use the one for the wrong sex.
There are also some bingo points including trans people being excluded from public life, and women who don’t look feminine being harassed in the Ladies.

‘Lavatory deserts’ mean we are all likely to be caught short

‘Lavatory deserts’ mean we are all likely to be caught short

Lack of proper funding for public bathrooms is putting real stress on all of us - which no one needs when they are desperate for the loo

Way to miss the point of anti trans loo etiquette distracting from real issues like declining public resources but then the right's survival relies on scapegoats to avoid accountability so here we are.

Are you saying that the EHRC and the Supreme Court went to all the trouble of confirming that single sex services mean single biological sex (not gender presentation) as part of a right wing plot to distract us all from defunded public services?

It's certainly a new take nutmeg7, barrel and scraping come to mind.

Also amused by what is the no doubt the latest buzz phrase anti trans loo etiquette.

The lengths, twists and turns TRAs and their allies will go to to force unconsenting women and girls to share single sex spaces with men and boys never ceases to amaze.

Established protections for women and girls is "a real issue".

The Observer isn't part of Guardian Media Group any more - they flogged it to Tortoise last year. I had vaguely thought Tortoise were less bad on this, but maybe not.

Historically the Observer have actually been better on this issue than The Guardian but clearly not this columnist.

The handmaidens at the Guardian out in force 🙄

I have so much respect for the women who took a stand on this and left.

The Observer is nothing to do with the Guardian any more.

I thought Eva was a Guardian journo?

LassoOfTruth · 07/06/2026 09:43

It’s so lazy - lazy virtue-signalling writing from a London bubble. I despair of these so-called journalists it’s just embarrassing now.
