Local paper today:
www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/mayor-quizzed-gender-neutral-toilets-16437625
I am planning on writing to the Mayor to be vocal in my objections, but I may need some guidance as well please.
Traditionally toilets have been gender specific, divided into two categories: male and female.
First of all I will make it very clear that they have been divided by SEX.
make a start by designating all council building toilets as gender-neutral.
I guess this is where I need to start quoting the Equality Act? and that it is a legitimate aim to separate by sex. I am also going to quote the (2011) cenus figures about the diversity of the town and the significantly high Muslim population.
I understand, clearly, there will be some concerns from some councillors and members of the public but the risk does not increase once public toilets become gender neutral.
In fact, if anyone has any intention in committing a crime at present, they will do so.
This is about creating a much more safer environment for transgender and non binary people.
The first really is not true is it? and the last is just about getting women to suck it up
I am having lots of thoughts that I will keep to myself.
I do have a lot of respect for Ellie though, I don't necessarily agree with all of her viewpoints but she is always fairly respectful when voicing them.
