I can’t believe what I’ve just watched. Eddie Izzard is on Joe Rogan saying ALL bathrooms should be gender neutral and completely dismissed the concerns women have that Joe brought up. He dismissed it as “people always complain when there’s change”

The whole thing is so selfish and entitled.

I have no idea if Izzard is one of them, but he is clear that he's wholly up for women being used by men in any way men see fit, and does not believe women as a species are allowed to say no to men. So he's actively supporting that. The same way he's supporting homophobia, disablism, racism and discriminating against women on grounds of religion and belief, by coercing the above women to either submit to being used by men or lose access to provision or services.

This.

I used to be a massive Izzard Fan and saw him live a number of times. I knew a lot of his most famous material almost by heart.

But having been made aware of his misogynist, uncaring position on this, I had a long think. And realised that nowhere in his stage shows did he ever talk about women. Just never. Food for thought.

Yes, by all means let's change every public restroom in the country to accommodate less than 1% of the population 🙄 . Doesn’t even make an ounce of sense. Why not just have a few separate loos or changing rooms for those who are trans and a label them as unisex? Or is that literal violence? 🤔 Doesn’t make sense to completely change everything, surely it’s common sense to just have some loos/changing rooms that are unisex that way people who don’t want to share don’t have to.

A friend on fb posted how he was looking forward to this interview. I posted my concerns after watching this and friend just replied "I'm all for gender neutral toilets".

Michelleoftheresistance · 06/05/2019 17:41

friend just replied "I'm all for gender neutral toilets".

As is already happening, as gender neutral loos involve men using the toilets with the doors open, bare backsides hanging out and piss everywhere all over the floor and seats, gender neutral loos will by default become men's toilets because women won't use them.

It won't solve the problem for anyone. Particularly not the TRAs, because the whole point of wanting to be in women's loos is that women have to be in there womaning.

Cheekyfeckery · 06/05/2019 17:43

How is it that so many men, who want to be women, have such contempt for women?

It baffles men

Cheekyfeckery · 06/05/2019 17:44

It baffles me, I mean.

It doesn’t baffle men, these men don’t think beyond their own dicks.

ThePurportedDoctoress · 06/05/2019 17:52

There's nothing to stop the gender-neutral toilet enthusiasts from campaigning for additional unisex provision and/or the removal of urinals and conversion of men's toilets into Eddie Izzard's shit-and-chat spaces. Just leave women's loos alone.

Exactly.

I'll tell you it makes sense to.

Every man with a menstruation fetish, every paedophile, every rapist, every sexual assaulter, every bully, every misogynist, every predator, every autogynephile, every transvestite (Izzard).

Almost all of whom will be men.

Who it doesn't make sense to?

Any woman.

Eddie Izzard's shit-and-chat spaces

I don't know what to do first, hold my nose or cross my legs.

JessicaWakefieldSV · 06/05/2019 18:15

Did you ask if they were all for young girls having to share toilets with men? I mean I’m not that surprised by the attitude towards women anymore, but do none of these people ever stop and think about either young children or older girls dealing with their first periods etc?

Whisky2014 · 06/05/2019 18:33

In my initial post I mention washing out moon cups. I didn't even mention girls being in with men.
But on his reply I replied "but how to mitigate the risks?" And he hasn't replied.
Funny how men just don't see it.

Lamaha · 06/05/2019 18:50

Why not just have a few separate loos or changing rooms for those who are trans and a label them as unisex?

They won't accept this. It's othering.
The whole point is that they get to share with the cunty type of woman. It's validating.

ScottishDoll · 06/05/2019 18:54

It speaks volumes that men go to public loos for a shit and a chat.

That's their normal.

When women tend to wait til they get home for a shit and use public loos for a quick wee, deal with menstruation, sort themselves/kids out, escape awkward situations, clean/dry clothes after accidents, etc etc etc.

So men use loos for manspreading.

Women use loos for a safe private space.

ScottishDoll · 06/05/2019 18:56

Actually women use loos with the expectation of safe private CLEAN space, and why should we have to justify any of that?

ScottishDoll · 06/05/2019 18:57

Have mixed facilities by all means, formerly the gents. Leave the ladies loos alone.

No they really dont.

Theres a code in the mens by all accounts from dp.

The shit and chat thing is what they think we do.. like it's some.giant leabian fest where we get naked talk and prance about and feel up each others boobs.

Couldn't ge further from the truth

nicenewdusters · 06/05/2019 19:15

Eddie Izzard shits and chats.

Eddie Izzard chats shit.

Oh, both seem to make sense Grin

Post that picture of JY in the bathroom.

Keep posting it until people get the fucking message.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 06/05/2019 19:20

I agree with sarah

as i said upthread dh said men dont talk at the urinal let alone when having a poo

AlwaysComingHome · 06/05/2019 19:21

Men don’t even make eye contact in the loo. They don’t acknowledge each other’s existence.

Two best mates might take a piss alongside each other, wash their hands together, and only when they pass through the exit one will say, ‘Oh, there you are. We thought you’d got lost.’

AlwaysComingHome · 06/05/2019 19:26

If anything men talk even less in the loos than they used to.

When smoking was still allowed they could play piss-hockey with cigarette ends in the urinals.

Back in the Eighties they could make Ghostbusters jokes about crossing the beams.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 06/05/2019 19:33

Oooh we still make that ghostbusters joke with the boys!!!

They look at us as if we've gone mad

Must force them to watch ghost busters again

Are these the same men who think we have pillow fights in our underwear first chance we get?

SarahTancredi · 06/05/2019 20:19

And rub soap on eachothers bodies in the shower whilst biting our lips and looking the others seductively in the eye Hmm
