Do you support “trans” or are you a monster? New Good Law Project billboard campaign.

I forgot the essential first step!

First, shut the door to keep out cats, small children and passing husbands. They will want to help, and this always means that any task takes about three times as long. (And in the case of husbands also involves discussion about why his way of doing whatever it may be is The Best.)

But one is one of the laydeez so one isn't going to.

(It's usually in the other direction that they alter the figure, surely, not from 12 down to 10?)

the friendly woman in the next toilet passing loo roll under the partition when I’ve exclaimed out loud ‘argh, no loo roll’. Does that not happen anymore

Happened to me just the other day actually! (I was the bestower of loo roll, not the recipient, which I do prefer).

Closed cubicles aren't soundproof.

Strangely, this is a conversation I have literally never had with any woman in the past seventy years.

It seems a bit like asking a teenager in the public lavatory whether she wants your help to insert a tampon: something women on the whole don't do.

I used to do it like that & it was very quick & easy.

Then I got a cat who wanted to join in.

Oh! I was taught an easy way to do that, which I shall share whether you are interested or not.

Turn the duvet cover inside-out, and put your arms into it down to the two far corners from the opening.
Take hold of two of the corners of the quilt (ones that are the right distance apart to match the corners of the cover that you are holding) through the cover, so that you are holding both inside-out cover corners and the corners of the quilt.
Slowly ease the cover over the quilt, turning it right way out as you go and keeping a good grip on the corners.
When the cover is more or less over all the quilt, let go of the corners you were holding, take the two corners by the opening by both the cover and the quilt, and shake it to get it all matching.
Do up the poppers or buttons or zip of the cover.
Done.
Takes me a lot less time than other methods used to.

Since my friend told me this (she got it off a television show about families doing household tasks, I think) I have never ended up head-first inside a duvet cover trying to find two corners inside a welter of cloth. It was a game-changer!

One could, if one wanted to, make a comment here about the well known ability of men to expand measurements to suit their own purposes.

Excellent, thanks, I'll let her know!

But 12 metres is 12 metres! I suppose one of them might identify as ten metres.

Or the sections are not all the same size, because someone didn't think it through very well.

I am told that Shark Exorcist is a must-see: reviews say such things as "What a god damn insult to filmmaking! It's really awful, I don't even recommend seeing this for ironic comedy. It's the definition of terrible!" and "I actually wanted to give this half a star but my review template will only allow a minimum of one star. So, I can only assume the developers have never seen Shark Exorcist." It has a demonic nun in it.

Wanna be a demonic nun dammitall!

If it is divided into 12 metre panels with handles on them, as they claim, it CAN'T be 86 metres long; 86 isn't divisible by 12. And nor is 76. So it must be 96 and they are typoing.

Didn't you know that the first punk safety pin was used by a transwoman?
😏
[in case that's obscure to anybody - the trans movement is notorious for appropriating historical events that predate transgenderism by decades, e.g. claiming that a transgender woman threw the first punch? brick? (it varies) at the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York which are taken to be a key moment in the development of the lesbian and gay rights movement]

Who doesn’t love a bit of P&P?

@MarieDeGournay here’s some lovely quilt pictures xx

Wasn't Unity Quilt the Quilt sister who fangirled Hitler?

Yes, it's the hijacking of the AIDS quilt symbolism that bothers me the most too. It's just so offensive even my finest swears can't do it justice.

How very punk. Quite the anachronism.

Late to the party, I know, but has anyone bagsied Medusa yet? Because I just love the idea of being on any demo/action, and being able to shut the screaming bullies up in perpetuity with the merest glance. And I'd still have (literally!) legendary, stunning hair!

I'm not all that bothered that transpeople are doing some crafting - as my late mother would say 'Ah sure, if it keeps them off the streets..' accompanied by an eye-roll😏

I'm sure they'll work out some way to carry it, like those enormous flags you see on marches.

I am bothered by any violent and offensive slogans they have embroidered needlepointed written with markers on it.

But most of all I am very bothered by the tasteless evoking of the Aids Quilt Project of the 1980s.

Maybe medical science could find away to take the brain out and put in a jar, like on StarTrek. 😂

I would rather be a little bit embarrassed that someone heard me fart because that also means they could also hear me cry for help.

I am not bothered others can see my feet. It means I can see which is occupied and if I am on my own in the toilets (as long as doors rest in the open position which they should for safety). Women subconsciously check out their surroundings all the time. It also means that when I walked into a set of toilets I saw a young girl that had stopped breathing straight away (she had choked on her own vomit). I have also walked into toilets and immediately seen two people in one cubicle, a woman and a child, and I could hear the conversation. Since sexual activity is illegal in toilets, a door gap prevents misuse, especially in the men’s toilets.

You may not think you know a person who has been saved by toilet design but you will. When a famous actress felt suddenly horrendously ill in a gym she went to a toilet cubicle. She was saved by another occupant who called 911 and they got her to hospital quick enough to save her from a brain aneurysm.

As for the home analogy it’s daft because it’s where a lot of people die (Bathrooms are the common place paramedics head to when they get into a house). You will also know a case this happened if you watch the news regularly. There’s another famous actor who died recently. His wife was found dead in the bathroom. There was lots of speculation about if she murdered him in a murder-suicide which was awful. I have been researching long enough to know that the most obvious scenario was that she felt ill and went to the bathroom and died. He then died a few days later as she cared for him (he had dementia) and nobody realised. And a while later they announced that’s what happened.

The tragedy is when people are dying in toilets in busy places (schools, stations, workplaces, hospitals etc) where there’s defibrillators nearby and people a few feet away from them and no one knows.
