To agree with Piers Morgan..

I find Piers Morgan insufferable at the best of times, but I was watching him debate with a guest re Primarks new gender neutral changing rooms and I found myself agreeing with him completely. I know it's not unreasonable to agree with someone but I wanted to see if i was inthe minority by being really annoyed and worried about this and how things are going in regards to single sex spaces? I am a regular primark shopper and I usually take a big bag of stuff in to try on and their changing rooms have the worst flimsy curtains as it is- I already get majorly self conscious when the curtain doesn't fully shut (it never does) but the thought of men being in the opposite cubicle rather than another woman is mortifying for me and I am just going to have to shop elsewhere. I just worry this is going to be the start of losing single sex toilets and changing areas altogether which would be hell for me. Before anyone says it, I have no problem with trans people!

Helmet often the same people who spout other nonsense such as

  • pc gorn mad,
  • it's swing too far the other way now
  • you wanted equality
Sometimes I wish I could take my family off the grid and live in a cabin in an Alaskan wilderness or similar forever and avoid seeing and hearing all this nonsense. Escape the Idiot Apocalypse.

It is disingenuous to say that sex segregated intimate spaces such as changing rooms perpetuates women being viewed as weaker etc. Biologically, women ARE weaker than men, that is a given fact, there will always be outliers of course, but on the whole women have less physical strength, particularly upper body, and can be overpowered by men.

We need to ensure safety based on fact, not feelings.

Why is my right to safety, my daughters, mum's, every females right to safety trumped by the feelings in a man's head? Because that is what this boils down to.

I'm not willing to give up single sex spaces. Unisex facilities have been proved to present greater risk to women. People should stick to the facilities for their sex. Demands that women allow men (however they identify) in our single sex facilities are outrageous.
