To think we should all boycott John Lewis until they respect their female employees

This is a letter from a female employee of John Lewis's Cheadle branch. John Lewis told its female employees that they have to share toilets and locker rooms with trans identifying men. The employee says this is having a terrible effect especially on colleagues who have experienced trauma relating to men or who have religious reasons to not want to share a space with someone who is the opposite sex.

(In fairness, so does the law of the U.K.)

In fairness no it doesn't. You really don't understand the Law at all.

Oh my days. Your objection to unisex loos (not necessarily relevant to the question but hey) is that chaps miss the mark.

Deep.

I have to say@ElleWoods15 has been using this thread to hand the ‘trans women are not women’ brigade their ass for two nights in a row.

Like in aeroplanes? Trains?

Oh no!

No it’s not. It’s not allowed as a personal
insult. I didn’t use it as such.

It’s alright, I know what’s true and what’s not. The truth is they aren’t. No one is assigned a sex at birth. It’s assigned at conception and observed at birth. It can’t be changed. Legal fiction is still fiction.

Still avoiding all other points put to you.

Well it’s good that you know better than everyone there than your GC echo chamber on here! Go you!

@GailBlancheViola so you can have your opinion but another poster can't?
How very very kind.

Do trains and aeroplanes have designated sex toilets? I must've missed that.

🤣 I’d love for at least one attempt for Elle to ‘hand us their ass’. So much avoidance a politician would be proud.

I think that’s the pp’s point.

But maybe you practice ultra rawdogging every flight and don’t even wee.

Echo chamber or, people who just know basic biological reality.

What are you referring to?

Why would I? If planes and trains had designated sex toilets and males pretending to be women went into them to get their validation kicks there would be a problem. As there is only single sex toilets on board, and everyone knows this prior to, so no deception involved, no problem. Not sure why this needs explaining. It’s really not the gotcha you think it is.

I don’t think it’s a ‘gotcha’. I just think you misunderstood the previous post. But that’s fine, Wes, no need for the aggro.

Any minute now the trope about the toilets in our houses is going to be wheeled out.

Are you joking?

The ‘transwomen are not women’ brigade always make the TWAW team look ridiculous. Because they are.

No aggro. Anyway, still waiting patiently for you to address all the reasonable points put to you regarding placing male rights above women’s. Especially rape survivors, women of certain religions, what makes a man a woman etc etc etc. You don’t have to of course, I’m just genuinely interested in the mindset and inner workings of those who deny biological reality and see - and accept - women as collateral damage to special males.

They can’t answer these basic questions. I don’t know who they think they’re kidding?

I’m not sure you are reading the same threads as me…

So nobody critical of Amazon's work conditions should call for, or even participate in, boycotting the company? After all, you just said it's not their circus, not their monkeys. How about Lidl back when they were massively exploiting German workers? Most of them women, I might point out.

Or maybe you're just taking such a neoliberal hedonist line when it's women's rights at stake. Figures.

I'd like to keep my highstreet so I won't be boycotting them.

I've been in a workplace today
Two toilets available, both unisex.
Better in a way, they were fully enclosed and accessible to all.

This was in response to a comment, for some reason didn't quote right though

@ElleWoods15 has not explained how males (who have small gametes) can become females (who have large gametes). Has not explained why women should not be allowed to have single sex spaces when they want them. Has not represented the Equality Act accurately. Perhaps you might help @ElleWoods15 out because in my eyes its not going well for the TRAs.
