Sex-segregated areas - a petition to keep them sex-segregated -

Yes, tell me why my daughters, who are 13 and 11, should be forced into having someone with a penis in their swimming pool showers, ( or school changing rooms as has happened in the US ) ? We have sex segregation for a reason. To protect women and girls from voyeurism , intimidation and abuse.

Exactly.

We have single sex spaces for things like changing because the vast majority of women and girls don't want to undress in front of males or see males naked.

The school changing rooms problem has already happened in Scotland.

Thanks OP , signed

SarahAr you also missed off this paragraph

13.59 Service providers should be aware that where a transsexual person is visually and for all practical purposes indistinguishable from a non-transsexual person of that gender, they should normally be treated according to their acquired gender, unless there are strong reasons to the contrary.

A transwoman with a penis in a changing room is not indistinguishable from a woman.

will be removed for breach of guidelines

Interesting that the post wasn't removed...

mmm Rufus

moderation policy seems to have changed quite a bit over the last few weeks......

It does

I like to think its because mumsnet mod looked at the report and thought

Harsh but fair

And left it

well it did cross my mind that MNHQ might find that poster's input as annoying and frankly wilfully misleading as I do......

Actually that poster has regularly spurred me into activism

when they talk down and belittle a crowdfunder it reminds me to donate

when they explain how we're all idiots and single sex spaces don't exist and we shouldn't have them anyway it makes me get off my arse and sign the petition

I am not sure their input has the effect they're hoping for.....

Long time ago someone i know said

Dont worry...i wont kill myself

Which made me worry...cos it didn't occur to me that they would have such a thought!!

So yeah, that poster has the same effect on me

Poster SA says....There is nothing to worry about.....shit now im fucking terrified!!!
