To think my daughter shouldn't have to share a room with a boy!

Because if you are in Oxfordshire, the council thinks schools should facilitate mixed sex dorm rooms for residential trips, as well as allowing mixed sex loos, changing rooms and sports.

It's on this thread thread

**Absolutely the issue is male violence and we have to combat toxic masculinity, but not at the expense of trans women who are far more likely to get beat up in a male loo than me or you

But you are ok with men being in women’s toilets beating them up?

So no, go use men's toilets and we will work on getting men to stop beating you up IS NOT a humane solution.

It’s exactly what women are being told though.

Personally I would happily use the men’s toilets if they met my biological needs. I’d love to be able to use a urinal - so much quicker.

Schools will generally ask for sex on the application fo so unless a parent is prepared to lie then the school will know the sex of the child.

Morning GC I have followed safe schools for some time and the work they do is amazing. The focus for them is safety protection and dignity for all children.

Likewise youth groups, sports clubs etc will ask for the sex of the child so no need for any "checking".

Thank you pityparty.

I'm not upset, it isn't my site that will be forever associated with transphobia nor will your hatred of trans women affect my day. I'm a cis woman. I'm just pointing out that it will be extremely bad for business - not like it has not been already but as time moves on, sites which are associated with bigotry will lose out. Advertisers will pull out. The people here will be used as examples of hate and prejudice. Anyone associated with the site on their CV will be rejected from other jobs.

I never did the French exchange as I'd hate to stay with a family i never knew but it just wouldn't ever be allowed these says. This happened in 2001
My dd does french exchanges and they say they can't guarantee same sex, although mixed sex can't share a bedroom. Twin boy and girl were matched with boy and girl. We requested dd goes with same sex initially and now she just goes back to the same family with girls

It's a really bad business move.

Yes me too Pity. It seems to be worse in some schools than others - I supose some have a key person pushing the woke agenda. My school has not gone down this path yet but I am on red alert at all times.

I also have gentle conversations with other staff and older kids about the difference between sex and gender - everyone gets it but everyone continues to misuse the word gender.

Orange I always wanted to do an exchange but it just never happened. Dies your DD enjoy it/get slot out if it?

I fancy peanut butter and marmite on toast this morning. And loads of coffee.

Back to school tomorrow!

I come from 2020. You haven't got to that year yet. You're still in 1956

Well no trans woman has been beaten in a mens toilet vs isolated cases of trans women attacking women in wonens toilet.

So who is unsafe here really?

PityParty4one Yes she does enjoy it and i think it's great for her. The family invited her back independently in the summer. I did French exchanges myself (and my dad stayed with German/French families) so i was pleased dd got the opportunity

None of this is about being 'unsafe' though is it? That is the huge smokesecreen. It is all about sexual kicks and validation. Nothing else. And it is very scary. Imagine having Gail netxt to you in a cubicle...

Orange I had a French exchange girl over when I was a teenager. We did not get along and I refused to go to her house the following year! Tbf I was an awkward bugger as I recall.

I had crisps for breakfast...is that bad...I got a cold is my excuse?

Gail, please stop for goodness sake. This is really disturbing.

Thanks for drawing attention to this case, GC.
