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.

@Theotheruser how about just be a good boy and use the mens? The other men won't care.

I hate to tell you but I am a women biologically. I can see what transgender women are going to be like. Prosecution will not work.

Unfortunately the men’s doesn’t provide the same kind of relief for bodily fluids, it seems.

bodily fluids is wee and poo. Masturbation is a sexual offence in a public space in the men’s and women’s spaces.

Sigh.

We really are just background scenary to this lot aren't we?

No thought to how female people might feel or think about all of this. In the transwoman's mind there's no curiosity about us at all. Like Everest, we exist to be claimed.

Well yes, OP, it’s going to take a few more court cases against service providers to galvanise some of them into ejecting men who can’t abide by the law. Prosecution & invalidated insurance will focus their minds quite quickly.

& probably a few individual non law abiding trans identified men charged under the Sexual Offences Act for various antisocial acts.

That’s fine; this is only going one way.

A transgender woman will continue to use single sex spaces. There is no law against it.

As a man, you are more than welcome to continue to use the men's single sex spaces. But not the women's.

Unless you’ve got proof to prove the person is transgender

I, and many other people have eyes.

I see you attended the Maugham School of Nonsense Law and are allowing wishful thinking to get in the way of reality.

You have a very low opinion of trans people, framing it like they will all behave like abusive men and not respect the rules and laws around single sex spaces. Interesting.

Do you routinely ignore traffic lights as well?

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.

Service providers are allowing trans women and biological women in single sex spaces.

Trans woman will not stop transitioning and using women’s single sex spaces. The colchester train station incident is the likely outcome of service providers intervening with no action taken against the suspected transgender user.

And they will continue losing court cases until they learn.

You could just use the official mixed sex pond instead of making the women’s pond mixed sex.

Getting desperate now.

In the event that as you seem to think, men with trans identities are all law breakers with no respect for women, or capacity to understand the need for women to have rights too - (seems a bit prejudiced to me)

Service providers will not permit males into single sex groups, resources and services, that's over. Finite incantatem. The mixed sex provisions will be available though.

Service providers can absolutely ask someone they suspect to be a male to leave a single sex women's space and use the mixed sex provision - and can ban them from the resource and space altogether if they will not follow the rules of the service, or if they behave badly/shout/become aggressive etc, as per notices everywhere these days about not taking your emotional incontinence issues out on staff and everyone else in the vicinity. That part is nothing to do with gender, that's a basic standard requirement of appropriate behaviour. And yes police could be called if person refuses to go or to stop being inappropriate. (See Stonewall, this week.)

If men really need to get their jollies by barging into women's single sex spaces and aggressively breaking women's rights and law in places like public loos doing a 'ha, you can't stop me!' thing -

well firstly they're behaving like dicks and there'll be no point in looking baffled and hurt when the general public start getting really fed up with this and thinking that men with trans identities tend to be in general really badly behaved men who don't want equality but just to make women's lives difficult - the PR there could get problematic -

and secondly, the need for prosecution will probably eventually come, won't it? Because those men will have created the need and forced it to that point.

Many things weren't prosecutable until some idiots behaved so badly and jumped up and down on other people's rights that it became necessary. Ball is kind of in the court of these men now.

Cerealcomplainer · 20/06/2026 15:13

I don’t quite understand your point. I would never dream of reporting to the police a one off incident of a man using a female changing room, transgender or not, if no significant harm had occurred.

What most women are now pleased about is:
That an employer would be expected to stop a transwoman using a female changing room.
That a leisure centre cannot allow an obviously male person into a female changing room
That youth hostels cannot have ‘single gender’ rooms rather than single sex.
That women will not be strip searched by men who say they are women.

What the position is now, and always should have been, is that when a man encroaches on a single sex space or service, and a woman complains, the law and the service provider is on her side. For too long the woman has had to worry that it wouldn’t be.

Unless you’ve got proof to prove the person is transgender then it is unlikely you will get the person removed. You will be removed from the situation causing a nuisance and harassment of space owner customers.

You have misunderstood the law, there is no requirement for 'proof to prove'

And, as many GC women have already discovered to their detriment - often, the process is the punishment

ETA, what on earth is a 'space owner customer'?

Men that call themselves ’transwomen’ have no ‘standard use’ of spaces set aside for women.

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

Obviously not. It clarified that a GRC or GRC altered birth certificate is irrelevant when considering access to women spaces.

Offences of voyeurism or indecent exposure are covered under the Sexual Offences Act 2003.

Any man entering a women’s space is at automatic risk of prosecution for voyeurism or potentially indecent exposure. If I, my daughters or my husband come across any man entering women’s spaces, we will be reporting it to the space owner to get them removed and banned and calling the police.

It would be deeply transphobic to make the blanket assumption that trans people are not capable of or willing to respect the law. I’m sure men with a trans identity are perfectly capable to reading a sign on the door and choosing the correct space for their sex.

The offences of voyeurism and or indecent exposure under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 doesn’t discriminate sex.

Any man or woman entering a women’s space is at risk of prosecution for voyeurism or potentially indecent exposure.

If I, my daughters or my husband come across any man entering women’s spaces, we will be reporting it to the space owner to get them removed and banned and calling the police.

Unless you’ve got proof to prove the person is transgender then it is unlikely you will get the person removed. You will be removed from the situation causing a nuisance and harassment of space owner customers.

A transgender woman having a pee in the toilet cubicle in the women’s single sex will not be prosecuted by the police or CPS.

A transgender woman will continue to use single sex spaces. There is no law against it. Transgender people have spent years transitioning and why stop now?

See, it’s the ‘relieving bodily fluids’ that we don’t like. Well, not just that, obviously, but some of you lads seem to like relieving different fluids from the actual women using the toilet.

Gender fluids?

Don't know about "in the standard uses of the facilities", but that's a criminal nonstandard use of the English language.

Criminally perhaps?
