I hate clicking on random links, please can you summarise if you'd like us to comment on the substance?

Can't read the article as it's behind a paywall.

EmpressaurusDeiGatti · 24/09/2024 17:31

To sum up, the nurses are having to squeeze into an office to get changed. There’s not room or facilities for all the women who want to use it & it opens into a busy corridor. They were told it was a temporary solution but it seems to be long term. And if males wanted to use it too, nothing’s stopping them.

EmpressaurusDeiGatti · 24/09/2024 17:32

And the reason all this is happening is the they complained about a male nurse in the women’s changing room.

Here's a link to the archived version

archive.ph is very helpful for getting past paywalls.

This was in the news a while ago. I'd happily go elsewhere and leave the transwoman alone in the women's changing room if I were one of those nurses. Pull the rug from under his feet. Won't have the desired effect of making women uncomfortable if he's in there alone, soon get bored I imagine.

or alternatively the employers could grow a backbone and protect the sex based rights of their female employees.

I’m sick of this shit. Women being forced to comply or forced out of spaces by men who identify as women.

Shoopyshoop · 24/09/2024 17:45

I think this is about the non transitioned trans woman who parades around in their undies and talks about their sex life / getting their partner pregnant.

During Covid we had to change in our store cupboard. It was our only male nurse that had the issue. Non of us females cared about him being there as he is gay. But he was very uncomfortable. We don't have a changing room. (Or a staff room either!)

It doesn’t matter what state of ‘transition’ a man is in. Chopping a dick off (extremely rare) and having breast implants doesn’t magically turn men into women and women should have the right to say no.

Unless consent isn’t your thing.

And what this person is taking about demonstrates that this is a fetish.

There's a simple solution, no changing room at all, wear uniform to work. It's what we do now. It's not seen as a requirement to provide at all for either sex.

That’s not true for healthcare workers.

And also why should male demands mean women lose things?

caringcarer · 24/09/2024 17:51

More woke bullshit.

TealTraybake · 24/09/2024 17:53

A simple solution is to have male and female changing rooms. I’ve heard that before somewhere. Sounds radical but apparently it works. If need be a third unisex space. Revolutionary stuff.

jeaux90 · 24/09/2024 17:54

This isn't inclusive this is exclusive.

Women who don't want males in their spaces, women of religion.

But of course women have to budge up.

I am so sick of this shit.

What the ever loving f*ck happened to consent and boundaries.

Opentooffers · 24/09/2024 17:55

I think you'll find that most nurses turn up and leave still in uniform these days, as changing rooms are the first to be let go of when space is at a premium. They are not seen as necessary anymore.

StellaGreen · 24/09/2024 17:55

But even if he is trying to get his wife pregnant and walks about in his undies with visible manhood on show, it doesn’t matter because he is a vulnerable trans woman.
It is Bigoted to think otherwise and women should really reframe their thinking.

Or…

Female people use the female changing room. Male people use the male changing room. 🤷🏼‍♀️

And that man is apparently unashamedly male, with visible male genitalia, discussing how he and his partner are trying to conceive. Yet claims he is a woman.

It’s a perversion, pure and simple. He wants to gawp at women in their underwear. It’s pathetic.

Skyrainlight · 24/09/2024 17:57

What I don't understand is why women are being forced to view a transwomen as women. Just because a man feels he is a woman, it doesn't mean all woman have to feel the same as him. I'm all about equal rights and that means equal, it doesn't mean trans rights trump biological women's rights. Separate facilities need to be provided transwomen.

I believe it is for health and safety reasons they can’t wear their uniforms to work.
Just as Chef’s have to put on a clean uniform to prepare food, rather than commute on public transport with all the germs 🦠 that can be transferred either way.
