What is even the point of your whatabout the androgenous women? As a child and teen, I was often asked if I was in the wrong toilet. I simply replied, ‘I am a girl’. I was often mistaken as a boy.
We have had numerous women tell us that they now thank other women for asking if they are in the right toilet. They thank those women for checking so that other women can be safe in those toilets without a male presence. They don’t get upset about it because they understand. They also want the toilet to remain single sex so they encourage that very basic level of security.
The leveraging of androgynous women into any debate about single sex toilets is another sign of bad faith debate. It is whataboutery.
Yes, there is a likelihood that more women will be asked if they are in the wrong toilet. If they have not taken testosterone their voices will be a very clear indication of their sex so it is useful for those asking to be assured by hearing that voice. A male voice influenced by testosterone is usually simple to detect.
Either way, women have always asked and some women and girls have been repeatedly asked through out decades.
When did it become unsafe to be asked if you are female when in the female toilet? Unpleasant? Maybe. Annoying? Maybe. Unsafe? How? And yet, these women’s experiences are being used to attempt to convince other women to stop campaigning for single sex spaces.
So I guess I have to ask, do you really think that the majority of androgynous women aren’t included in the majority of the female population of the UK that want single sex spaces to be just that, single sex? ie no male people.
If androgynous women are not included in that majority, why do you think they are not included?
