What would you do?

[MillyTheKid]

A question for those fighting for female only spaces: If you are in a public toilet and a trans person comes in would you actually say something or just grit your teeth and get on with things? I suppose, given the fact that those campaigning on both sides of the argument aren't statistically huge in number, the chances of an encounter in a bathroom are quite small.

moonlight That’s it in a nutshell isn’t it.

What decent person doesn’t care about the consent of others?

Doesn’t care about others’ (ie women’s) feelings of safety and privacy, specifically in places in which women should be able to feel safe and private?

Doesn’t care about those feelings to the extent of lobbying to change the lawso that women’s feelings of lack of consent, feelings of objection, can’t legally be respected any more?

Legal gender self identification specifically seeks to override and ignore women’s consent. GTFO with that. Men inflict that on women from our childhood, because they objectify and denigrate us because of our female biological sex. Enough already.

As soon as anyone gives legal gender self ID more than 30 seconds actual consideration they must be able to recognise it is a dangerous misogynistic weapon to use against women.

I can’t see any good faith reasons why anyone would support it , if they had looked at it objectively and didnt want to use the law against women.

If I was alone and felt threatened? Leave as soon as possible.

If I was alone and didn't feel threatened? Probably carry on as normal.

If I was with a few other women I think either way I'd leave it.

When I say threatened I mwanif I felt they were using self ID inappropriately. Not if a perfectly routine trans lady came in.

I do sympathy with trans people and hate some of the vitriol they get but as a woman I must protect my safe space.
