The reliably foolish Good Law Project have commissioned a new outdoor campaign, coming to a street near you.

Of course I support trans – I’m not a monster - Monster

Trans people should be able to live their lives in peace.

I think it depends on the design. I work in a modern building (sometimes) with these loos and they are fine. They all have proper ventilation as purpose built. I’ve encountered the stinky version when retrofitted into an older building with shit ventilation.

Ah - sounds like you might be talking about your workplace bogs rather than public / publicly available ones?

We have full height at work and they are usually pleasant. Single sex though, with a handful of either sex ones, noticeably the "bogs of last resort" for both sexes. The bogs of last resort are noticeably ickier though. Men's piss smells different and gets into the hinges (this is direct experience, I used to be a cleaner).

But mixed sex bogs used by the public are nothing like as nice as ones used by men who know they are sharing spaces with colleagues. Think about the average standard of bog these days in coffee shops, petrol stations, quite a few bars.... women are definitely losing out by the introduction of male norms on this one!

From the insta video, they are using a lot of cotton or poly cotton, with piecing, applique, and cheap acrylic paint. No quilting but at 86/96m it will get heavy and the paint will likely run if it rains.

A second apology may be needed on reddit if some of the artwork causes offence. Not sure the right to reclaim slurs is transferable to "the cis".

Doesn’t sound like it’s going to match some of the beautiful banners made by feminists.

I had to look up '1312'. Apparently it's numeric code for the acronym ACAB - All Cops Are Bastards.

I keep reading Unity Quilt as Utility Quilt. Which sounds much more useful.

I have to admit the idea of the MtF TransRedditors undertaking a bit of needlepoint/quilt making was not on my radar.

What better way to show their womanlyness than by doing womanly things?

Not sure this person has ever picked up a needle. The slogans are all attached with safety pins.

The one that says “All body is horror, you might as well take HRT” makes me so sad. You get one body, and your body is the only way - via your senses - that you can experience the world. How awful to spend your whole life thinking it is a horror.

This woman doesn't. Closed cubicles stink for a start.

That's an interesting point - people who spend most of the day alone in the house often have personal alarms in case they have a medical emergency, and leave housekeys with neighbours.

I've recently been advised to get a key lock box installed at the front of my house, and give the PIN code to the local police so I can be easily reached by the emergency services if necessary.

So you're right, a 10cm gap at the bottom of my front door is not necessary 😁there are other ways of staying safe at home, but that's not relevant to health and safety in public toilets.

The personal alarm company also tend to be key holders. Mine connects through to a call centre, they can activate the speaker on the main unit to assess the situation and send out help. Very useful when you are stuck halfway up the stairs on the stairlift because the start/stop button decided to spring out of the chair arm and throw itself to the bottom of the stairs.

This weird use of "trans" to refer to trans people, does it originate from the simple fact of the word ending in 's' so that it can look, to people outside the discourse, like a plural noun? Could they have misunderstood the term "trans rights" as "trans' rights" (i.e. with a plural apostrophe)?

This seems plausible, but how did it manage to catch on so much that even a transactivist organisation is using it? It is bizarre.

Edited

Joylon's reference, in the apology, to "trans people, rights, spaces and joy" will have been drawn from the artist's blurb. If any further comment is made I reckon it will be along the lines of how the Cis-Approved® umbrella term "trans" is not dehumanising but expands the range of meaningful, solidarity-laden shared experience [insert additional bullshit here] etcetc

Some of us spend most of the day alone in the house. Some people are hundreds of times more likely to have a medical emergency at home than in a public toilet, and yet we don't force people to have a 10cm gap at the bottom of their front doors.

Oh come on. We do what we can for safety in a public place.

Now this ‘argument’ is truly insane.

If you are a person who spends all day, every day at home, and your friends and family haven’t heard from you in some time, they will know where to start looking - the home you never leave.

If you leave the house on a regular basis, and have need to use public toilets, it is a really useful safety feature to have a gap so random other toilet users can see if you’ve collapsed. Unlike the poor man who died in the Edinburgh parliament floor-to-ceiling toilet, who wasn’t found for 6 days.

I never get an answer to that question.

And still no answer?

Though Masha has time to resurrect a zombie thread to tell off more woman for thinking that men should not be allowed to legally buy sex off as many vulnerable, trafficked, addicted women as they want without consequences.

Quilt carrying. It sounds so warm and unthreatening, doesn't it. But look closer and the slogans worn by the person featured on that page looking for volunteers are violent.
'Arm Trans Kids' and 'Your Death B4 My Detrans'. Lovely.

Yet sometimes being overheard can save your life. In a public/private space there are trade offs between privacy and safety

Not just your life. Guess where most public toilet-based rapes take place: the toilets with the gap, or the ones with floor-to-ceiling doors and walls?

Every woman I've ever known prefers a closed cubicle. Women dont, on the whole, like being overheard whilst on the loo and especially not if ill.

I don't. Having been locked inside one once when the lock got stuck! I like a stall with a small gap more.
