Does it make someone a LGBTQ ally if they wear the pride lanyard but object when a transgender person uses their restroom ?

In my workplace we are very open and inclusive and many colleagues chose to wear their IDs on the Pride lanyards and are very active participants in all the Pride related events.
So far so peaceful, or so I thought, we had a new colleague joining recently, it is a lady who is transitioning from being born a man. She is very polite and just gets on with her work and day. I wasn't surprised to see her using the Ladies, unfortunately a number of my colleagues have formed an opinion about that. The management has been supporting the new colleague, and they held "conversations " with the complaining parties.
However, those people are still wearing their Pride lanyards, I can't get my head around that. The lanyards are purely on volunteer basis, we have generic ones. I generally wonder whether they actually realise that being an ally is not about getting drunk on Pride , but actually to be supportive to the people of LGBTQ.

LGB has nothing to do with T. I'd guess that it's therefore perfectly possible to wave the lanyard enthusiastically for one while still wanting single sex facilities.

Do they have to be supportive of everyone in the lgbtq+ to wear the lanyard

There are a lot of people in the +

I don't wear campaign lanyards of any type and think they are a really bad idea for any business or worker. Being coerced into wearing an insignia for Stonewall isnt in my contract.

It sounds like your managers are on the case. There may be aspects you don't know about though.

I’m always drunk on pride.

It's something like LGBTQIA+ at DH's University I think. Every so often they add another letter.

We'll be at 26 soon and then everyone will be special.

Are there not any repeat letters then

I think supporting LGB can be a whole world away from supporting every aspect of transgender ideology, so that could be the issue.

Is restroom what we'd call a cludgie?

Just popped on a website and it said this

LGBTTTQQIAA

But it also said not to memorise it because it can evolve

I would imagine that only strengthens my point...

There's also numbers. 2S in some places.

I'd like to point out that my post that got deleted was nothing more than a biscuit. What is offensive about that?

I’m bisexual. I don’t want men in women’s spaces.

Awks.

You can be supportive and at the same time want to protect women’s spaces to be used solely by women.

I am amazed management thinks the best solution for women asking for single sex spaces to be, well, maintained as single sex, is to have 'conversations' with them. Extremely sexist of them.

OP, you can support LGB and yes, also T, rights but also support womens sex based rights. It is called balancing the needs for all.
