Pissed you can't piss in peace

Being trans right now is to be institutionally discriminated against. It’s having to worry about where and when you can go to the loo. Which is fucking outrageous. That this should happen under a so called Labour government is unforgivable.

Meanwhile we stagger on. If you want backup using a toilet I’m yours. I’ll walk into the ladies with you and tell people to back the fuck off if I have to. I will walk into the men’s too if I have to, so everyone is scandalised at me while you get a chance to sneak in and have a piss in peace. The situation is ludicrous - what I can do is a drop in the ocean, but drop I will.

Maybe I need to print myself a t-shirt that says fighting for the freedom to piss in peace. I don’t know. The world is on fire both metaphorically and literally, yet of all the things one could do a big chunk of people have chosen to gang up on a vulnerable minority. It’s like watching people dig their own graves.

If you’re a genuine transsexual with gender dysphoria, you would have put effort into passing as the opposite sex and nobody would question you.

It's cruel to lie. They don't "pass" and even if they did, they aren't women and need to accept that and the law.

And women (with trauma or religious restrictions especially) need to know that there are no men in their single sex spaces - not even heavy disguised ones.

TheCrenchinglyMcQuaffenBrothers · 05/08/2026 16:06

So you’re going to violently threaten woman who don’t consent to men in their same sex designated spaces? And you wonder why there’s had to be a law passed?

Although, I seriously doubt you are going to do that. I seriously doubt you ever leave your bedroom.

You have a gender-neutral bathroom at home, so why does it bother you?

I am very careful who I allow into my home. Aren't you?

I also have a lock on the bathroom door. Nobody else is in there with me.

Assisting people to break the law.

The 'hero' no one knew we needed.

Will you be wearing a cape? And spandex?

Or perhaps painting your face blue and screaming 'Freedom' while you throw your weight around the women's loo is more your thing.

It's been said a million times, but its worth repeating.

Single sex services are needed for legitimate reasons. They wouldnt be able to exist if not.

Trans people do not change sex. They may have identification in the opposite sex, but that does not change their sex.

If a provider has established that single sex service are legitimate, including the opposite sex makes no sense. It negates the orginal aim.

If trans people want to remove SSE, and create 'gendered' spaces, they are free to lobby the government.

To do this they have to define 'gender' and established need based on this gender, and demonstrate that SSE are no longer needed.

Getting cross and insulting women on a feminist board on a parenting website will not achieve this.

Happy tucking.

This with bells on.

Ways you can tell a man:
He thinks he "passes" as a woman but usually wears things that women of that age or build wouldn't wear in public
His hips are set differently to a women's hips so if you can't tell just by looking at the way he stands you will when he walks
His behviour is entitled and turns aggressive when he doesn't get what he wants.

I think trans people should have to use the disabled toilets. That way they can piss in peace and nobody else has to worry they are sharing a toilet with somebody who was born with different reproductive organs.

AmaryllisNightAndDay · 05/08/2026 16:23

Like most people I have a single-user gender-neutral bathroom at home, lockable floor to ceiling door and all necessary facilities inside. (Two of them in fact - ooh get me!) So we can all pee in peace and none of us are troubled, even when I invite guests who I don't know well

And if that is what trans people need in public toilets now, well, it's perfectly legal to provide them as long as the regulations about single-sex provision are also met.

There are many reasons why someone might choose to pee in a single-user room rather than a multi-user (single-sex) room and it's not the kind of thing most people speculate about if they even notice.

So if someone is so touchy about being trans that they can't bear to use a unisex single-user facility then... well that's their problem really.

I don't let strangers come in off the street to use my loo at home. Do you?because that would be just weird.

Probably JUST a cape and spandex 😬

You can pee next to me – unless you've had genital surgery, in which case you might need to use the cubicle instead of the urinals. I promise I won't harass you. I won't even speak to you, nor give you more than a glance. Same as the other men.

It is a terrible problem with trying to parody the TRA, that no matter how extreme and batshit you make it, someone out there is saying it for real.

Lottapianos · 05/08/2026 17:00

This is obvs a stupid question, but where are the men with a public profile saying that they are happy to welcome any man, however he presents, into male single sex spaces and pledging to leave them well alone to get on with their business? A 'you can pee next to me' for men. A 'be kind' moment for men

Andy Burnham could lead on this for example

I know, I know 🙄

As a disabled woman I can't agree with this.
They can use their own loos like everyone else

I agree with you about toilets for people with disabilities.

I need the accessible toilet due to disability. They can stay the fuck out of those too.

I mean, we are all walking phenotypes, even cis people, and to assume that there are no deviations from a hard-line biological distinction set out in genetic code seems un-scientific and unreasonable to expect in an age that has long-since accepted nature V's nature is a false distinction. The idea we are all equipped with skills that makes chromosomes, hormonal profiles and gonads 100% observable with clothes on seems nonsensical in this day and age. But moreover, there is no sense in creating division where statistics do not back up any of the widespread danger claims that are being touted around. I doubt any trans people are here to read this, but if you are, panic not. Trans people are always going to be here so society needs to adapt to you, not the other way around.

No such thing as cis. Since sex is binary, dimorphic and immutable, trans-identifying people remain members oif their birth sex, regardless of medication or presentation.

I am beginning to feel that this thread was specifically composed to vex me.

ScarlettSarah · 05/08/2026 17:43

So you are intending to defend the right to 'piss in peace' by going into the toilets and causing disruption? OK. That makes perfect sense.

Oh, we know that there are 'deviations from a hard-line biological distinction set out in genetic code'.

As it happens, I know someone who has a 'deviation' from the usual 'hard-line biological distinction set out in genetic code'. He has a DSD.

He is still a bloke. He looks and sounds like a bloke.

DSDs have nothing to do with trans.
