Seems they didn't want to get bogged down in a debate so they lied about perverts in toilets to get a quick kneejerk reaction.

That's fantastic news! So no man has ever assaulted /filmed / spied on a woman in women's or unisex toilets. I feel much safer now Smile

Yes, isn't it fantastic?!

ADastardlyThing · 08/12/2018 13:45

Oh, is this like that time when TRAs were saying stickers had razorblades underneath them?

NEWS AT TEN! MEN NOW SAFE AROUND WOMEN!

Thanks, OP. Good of you to let us know this joyous news. And from such an unimpeachable source, too.

LikeDust · 08/12/2018 13:56

Gosh. Yes. There was me all that time thinking sex segregation had a purpose of preserving women and girls safety, privacy and dignity!
All those times since childhood where i've had pervy dudes flashing, making creepy comments, spying and getting off on making me feel uncomfortable must have been my imagination....

Nah... in all seriousness. Anyone who has grown up female knows pervy dudes need to be kept out of spaces where women are vulnerable.

I reckon that article is best shared among the kind of dudes that think women just make shit up.

Avegemitesandwich · 08/12/2018 13:57

I don't understand this? Are you saying that men have never spied on women in the toilets/changing rooms?

Dragon3 · 08/12/2018 14:00

Wonderful news! Shall we all pack up and go home?

ZuttZeVootEeeVro · 08/12/2018 14:02

I don't understand this? Are you saying that men have never spied on women in the toilets/changing rooms?

Apparently so. It also means that male transpeople are perfectly safe in the male toilets and changing rooms.

Bunbury might finally retire! I wonder what her farewell text will be?

incallthebloodytime · 08/12/2018 14:03

Men are always safe now??

I really am just imagining it every time the male gaze makes me uncomfortable?

It's just a lot of women transphobes overreacting and contriving concerns that don't actually exist?

Thanks for letting us know!

.that is excellent news. I take it it will be also be safe to send self identified transsexual rapists and abusers into women's prisons now, those vulnerable women in there needn't worry any more now they have big strong transsexuals and their penises watching out for them.

LemonJello · 08/12/2018 14:12

No, you’ve got it the wrong way round! They will now be safe in the male estate! What wonderful news Smile

AspieAndProud · 08/12/2018 14:18

Than god. We can do away with single sex toilets entirely now. Why did we ever think we had to have them in the first place?

I’ve never been involved in a car crash. Despite the made-up stories being peddled by the lame stream media I don’t know anyone who has ever actually died in a crash.

Why on Earth do we have to wear seatbelts?

LikeDust · 08/12/2018 14:24

You're right Aspie.

And all that scaremongering about lead paint, pewter cups, asbestos ceilings, carbon monoxide, tripping hazards, thalidomide, etc are all bullshit too.

Alicethroughtheblackmirror · 08/12/2018 14:28

This is excellent news. I'm struggling to work out why rates of assault are considerably higher in unisex changing rooms, hmmm...wait...

Silly me! It must be nasty feminists dressed up as men who do it just to make the poor men look bad. Or something.

AspieAndProud · 08/12/2018 14:32

Apart from rising temperatures, desertification in the tropics, melting icebergs and rising sea levels, what evidence is there of climate change?

Has anyone actually seen polar bears dying?

LikeDust · 08/12/2018 14:33

All scaremongering.

welshgendercrit · 08/12/2018 14:57

Gosh, thanks for letting us know and giving us the pleasure of reading such a convincing article. I can stop worrying about my young great-nieces now and tell them there's absolutely no way they won't be safe wherever they are.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 08/12/2018 15:07

Ah, come on you lot!

It's really not fair using sarcasm AND common sense together, in one post, let alone a stream of them!

Play nice, now!

ElfOnTheShelfAteMyJoy · 08/12/2018 15:12

Actually Aspie l've never actually seen a polar bear with my very own eyes, like in person so now I'm actually dubious of their actual existence dontcha know!

HestiaParthenos · 08/12/2018 15:14

See, I was trying very hard to come up with a nice scaremongering story when someone sent me the link to a youtube video of trans activists beating up women in Hyde Park.

Ever since, I don't bother making anything up. I mean, why bother, if they're actually doing things much worse than anything I could ever make up, and there's a video of it?

Has anyone actually seen polar bears dying?

Polar bears are a myth. As are giraffes, rhinoceroses and starving children in Africa. I mean, I never have seen any. Just photos, but hey, those can be fake. I know people who have been to Africa, but hey, those people also claim to have been to Bielefeld, and we all know Bielefeld isn't real.

And as for the hot summers in the past couple of years, hey, there have always been hot summers, the old people saying winters used to be much colder and there used to be more rain in summers are just making stuff up. Old people, amiright?

Some even claim there used to sometimes be snow on Christmas. Haven't seen that for years. Clearly just a myth, like Santa Claus, elves and reindeer. (Only children believe in reindeer, right? I've never seen any with my own eyes, so ...)

from the Metro this week:
'Paedophile who kissed a child insists he’s a five-year-old girl and brought doll to court'

"A 55-year-old sex offender sucked his thumb throughout a court hearing after his doll was taken off him.

Jorven Seren appeared before a judge after he forced himself on a girl outside a shop, kissing her in front of her mother. He was arrested after people from a nearby church in Thanet, Kent, spotted the attack and contacted police.

They found more than 460 images of child abuse on his phone which he says were there after being persuaded to download them by a paedophile who has since died.

In court, Seren asked to be referred to as a woman and held the doll in his arms. Judge Williams said: ‘That is totally inappropriate and I make it plain she will not be doing that for the rest of the hearing.’

In April last year members of a church had contacted officers after becoming concerned about Seren’s behaviour towards children. Sometime later the victim’s mother saw Seren trying to get the attention of her very young child and later saw her child being kissed on the lips. The mother later described it as ‘a prolonged peck’ and immediately took the child away after becoming ‘deeply shocked’ by the incident.

Police had a meeting with Seren and noted ‘some items of concern’ in his home. In July last year Seren was arrested and officers found the images on his computer which he claimed had been downloaded by a man known to police as a paedophile.

Paul Hogben defending Seren said: ‘I am sure looking at this defendant and the offences which she has admitted there is a great deal of concern. ‘There are no mental health issues but there are personality disorders. Miss Seren was born a man but since an early age felt she is more a woman than a man.’

Seren had pleaded guilty to indecent assault and downloading illegal child sex images. The court heard how Seren thinks he is a five-year-old girl and is regarded as ‘highly vulnerable’. Although psychiatrists concluded the defendant has personality problems he did not have any mental illness and he was jailed him for a total of 15 months. Judge Williams told him: ‘I know it will be difficult for you to serve a custodial sentence but I have a duty to protect the public and especially young children.’

I have just been talking to a casual acquaintance and finally asked what he did. He is a prison warden, who has just, unhappily, been tranferred to working with a sex offender population. In a word - manipulative.

I explained I had got involved in protesting reforms to the GRA. No need to 'peak trans'. Instead absolute support. He was sick and tired of being expected to bow to PCness by using correct pronouns etc. And real sympathy for victims. He claims some crimes he was aware of were horrific.

OlennasWimple · 08/12/2018 16:06

well, we have always been told that this stuff never happens, so it's lovely to have that confirmed by such a reliable source /s
