You can support transgender rights or not but the law isn’t itself politics. Transgender women will not be prosecuted in the use of women’s single sex facilities in public in the standard use the facilities was built for.

A standard use is:

  • A transgender woman goes into the women’s toilet facilities in a cubicle for the purposes of relieving bodily fluids.
  • A transgender woman goes into the women’s changing facilities in a cubicle for the purposes of removing clothing for leisure activities.
  • A transgender woman goes into the women’s toilet facilities to protect the transgender women of being attacked or sexually assaulted.

A transgender woman in the standard uses of the women’s facilities are not exposing the users of the single sex facilities.

A transgender woman in the standard uses of the women’s facilities are not exposing child users in the single sex facilities.

A child user using single sex women’s facilities can’t deny other women public access of the facilities the child user believes are transgender.

With official documentation of the new sex will be difficult to disprove the claim of the transgender women being the male sex.

No harassment or sexual offences can be found against the transgender woman in the standard use of the women’s facilities with official documentation of the new sex.

A woman in the women’s single sex facility can be prosecuted for an offence and or removed if the woman is abusing or harassing the other user of being transgender without proof.

A woman recording and sharing publicly the other user without proof of being transgender can prosecuted.

The Supreme Court ruling or EHRC guidance has not changed the law to prosecute transgender women in women’s single sex spaces.

Transgender women have history of official records to support beyond a reasonable doubt the new gender identity. Have protection of gender discrimination.

Prosecution of transgender women is not going to work in the standard uses of the women’s facilities.

A woman can complain to management but unless management decides to take action to resolve the issue no action can be taken against the other user.

We need to be honest. I have a daughter to support and I need my job to pay the bills and I can’t afford to do that if I start policing the women’s spaces.

Transgender women have won. Prosecuting will not happen and that why I wrote the post. It’s all talk. It will not happen. It takes courage and money and with the cost of living crisis I don’t want to lose my job or house.

I’m genuinely mystified what you want to achieve in posting this thread

It has happened. Multiple times. And no one can call the SCJ or yesterday's court judgment an 'echo chamber'.

It's not a case of anyone having 'won', it's a case of the needs of men with gender identities having their own resources and their own spaces provided, and being required to respect for the first time that women have rights equal to theirs, and while their needs must and absolutely should be met, they cannot remove needed resources and access from women.

If you're this deep in despair about it all then women here will encourage you any time, write to your MP, Sex Matters and FWS will always be there for you, and so will the remarkable women who do have the courage and time and funding to take these things through a court. As many have now done, which resulted in the SCJ and cases like yesterday's.

This is the natural reaction to the law having been clarified in ways that this group of men do not like. But all this is about is having to respect the equality and parity of women's rights; it will all settle down. These men will not be left without care, support and resources.

Unlike the women who are unable to use mixed sex spaces and were left with nothing at all, a number injured, and very few people caring, certainly not transactivists. These men have much, more than they ever let women have.

/TransgenderUK and Feminism here are echo chambers. I use women’s spaces as I was born female but I do see both sides of the issue. The issue is transgender women are not going away and will use women’s spaces and women are not going to be prosecuting transgender women. It takes courage to prosecute and it is unsafe. Cancel culture is alive.

It is easier to not notice a transgender woman in the women’s space and go on with your life.

Being able to not notice would be nice, I assume you don’t work in an environment with many as they make it really fucking impossible not to notice them.

It will be the disabled toilets business will use as third and fourth spaces. The toilet will be clogged or dirty so it will be bad for disabled people. :(

Why is it only the disabled toilets these people are going to clog and leave dirty?

You aren't in a position to campaign actively for women's human rights? Fair enough. Neither am I.

But don't be so defeatist! Courage calls to courage!
There are lots of other women, and men, who are not prepared to shrug and say 'there's nothing we can do, less than 2% of the population have bullied us all so thoroughly that they can trash our rights, and we just have to accept that women don't matter'.

Outside of a trans-ally bubble, most people are too sensible to believe that people can change sex. This irrational unscientific undemocratic fad will pass.

unless they’re disabled they can’t take our spaces either.

I doubt staff or management will police single sex spaces. Policies for shoplifting for staff is don’t tackle or stop. Staff will not stop transgender women.

That’s a very weirdly blanket statement. They don’t really need to police spaces as such but if a persistent man insists on using the women’s space they may be at risk of legal action for but providing single spaces.

I’m not sure what you are hoping to achieve with your strangely goady posts. I guess you’ll just have to carry on snd see what happens.

I think you are possibly underestimating how many steely women of independent means there are. Now I know the law is on my side I'll be challenging every penis-bearing person that I spot in women's spaces and politely questioning the maybes.

They haven't won. I don't have a job, I own my house outright, if they thump me it will make great publicity when I post the video.

You mean female people who identify as men? No, they won't usually stop those people going into female-only spaces.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 20/06/2026 18:08

Yes, I phrased that poorly. Wasn’t implying they should use disabled spaces.

Taztoy · 20/06/2026 18:07

Ereshkigalangcleg · 20/06/2026 18:05

The “truce” would have to involve them agreeing to use third spaces, mate. Otherwise, no deal.

Fourth, please.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 20/06/2026 18:06

Luckily other people do have courage and money, and they won’t stop challenging these men.

Transgender people have come out of the closet and won’t be going back in.

We need a truce of sorts.

Transgender individuals can stay out of whatever closet they choose. What they can’t do is go into a single sex space other than that which they were born. Hth.

“Transgender women on medication will be threatened with violence going in the men’s spaces.”

Why is this a justification for diminishing the safety and comfort of girls and women?

All this concern for TW being around other men but absolutely no compassion for the females you’re expecting to just happily accept the same.

The cognitive dissonance and misogynistic double standard is still shocking to me every single time this argument is trotted out. 🙄

It will not be harassment. You will have to prove the person is transgender.

Transgender women have been transitioning for years and transgender women have got use to using women’s spaces.

Transgender women on medication will be threatened with violence going in the men’s spaces.

Transgender women will use women’s spaces for their lives. Transgender women will not care about being prosecuted. It is persecution in the public eye.

Transgender people using women's spaces will be challenged unless they are so good at masquerading as a woman that they genuinely can't be spotted. Women are particularly good at this, the number will be very small.

We have not felt the law was with us to challenge them before. We do now.

As a woman who regularly sees women double checking my short hair, height and broad shoulders, I welcome with open arms their right to reassure themselves that I'm female.

How do all the recent court cases square with that. Sandie Peggie, the Darlington nurses etc.

And that's before the law was clarified by FWS. If women were taking their workplaces to court before that, they're only going to feel more able to now they know they can win.

You forgot to add
Transgender women are not, and never will be, female.
or to put it a different way
Transgender women have always been, and always will be, male.

We are going to prosecute them because the law will be changed precisely because men won’t stop transgressing female spaces.

opinion polls are dead against trans rights above female rights.

Theotheruser · 20/06/2026 15:23

Eyes can be deceiving and in law that isn’t proof beyond a reasonable doubt the person is transgender. In reality official documents are going to be used for service providers to remove suspected transgender users.

If the suspected transgender user was biologically female and removed from a female single sex space it will be sex discrimination.

No it won’t you numpty. However, allowing some males into female spaces, but not all males, IS sex discrimination.
