Taking a sword to the toilets

[AlwaysComingHome]

This is where we are now.

I agree OP - sorry not sure how to copy/paste text on my phone so just putting this here...

Wtf!
I hope she reported the weirdo

Wicked lies. We all know this doesn't happened

Fuck me, he's let himself go since he was in The Princess Bride, hasn't he?

I suspect the sword-carrier might report her for the violence of not validating their ID.

They is a bisexual woman who likes swords (although that is a fencing rapier).

So now we not only have male people using our toilets, but they're carrying weapons, and gloating about scaring women away?

Fantastic. A credit to the TRA cause

Why wouldn't they be angry at the response this poor little lamb got from evil cis woman? I mean what could possibly be frightening or threatening about wandering into a loo only to find a male in a dress taking a selfie and brandishing a pointy sword?

Oh this person so needs to be fired.

Hopefully the police will do something. Its been reported.

Lot of their supporters on Twitter now posting pics of their own (mainly pink handled) knives they admit they took to Pride.

TRAs are pretty much a hate group now, by any definition.

There are almost certainly going to be fatalities if this continues.

We’ve also had Yaniv openly carrying pepper spray and a taser.

They say it’s for self defence but you don’t see them taking weapons into the gents do you? They take weapons into situations their greater strength already gives them an advantage.

Reading through the replies though, they're getting ratio'd to shit. The TRA replies (with predictable threats of violence and 'you're blocked') are getting handfuls of likes while the ones calling the OP out are getting into the hundreds.

Interesting too how many of the supporters have anime icons.

TRAs are pretty much a hate group now, by any definition.

Just felt that needed highlighting.

And these arseholes are meant to be women, are they?

Oh, but the sword has a pink end so that's ok.

Booz Allen is some sort of management consultancy, so I assume he (I'm assuming his pronouns on April 6th are still correct) 'freaked out' a colleague or a client and is now bragging about it on the net ... grossly unprofessional.

@OccasionalKite Yup. Women. With penises.

He dressed like THAT at Booz Allen??? Jeez. They used to have a dress code. Not literally a 'dress' code.

Yeah, so apparently male person? With a sword? In the women’s loos? Absolutely no cause for alarm there at all though because they were wearing a dress. I mean come on! What’s a lay-dee gotta do to get some acceptance and validation around here?

I’m past trying to rationalize any of this shit any more, it’s like a fucking fever dream I can’t wake up from.

Apparently just works on the same floor as the company he mentioned. Whatever.

Has this person, with a sword, in the ladies, done a mass murder yet? I feel that it is only a matter of time. I do not mean this lightly.

Tbh when I saw that pic earlier I thought the poor bugger had a walking stick. I mean, why else would you wear those trainers with that dress?!

I think I am going to invest in one of these (I mean its pink, it must be for women, right?)

Also I properly laughed at PP above:

@Trohmaniac

However way you look at it, the guy in the OP, carrying a sword in public, is dangerous to society

This is one of the biggest issues for me. Threatening, disturbed, misogynistic, power hungry men in dresses being in the toilet. It makes me really anxious the thought of encountering someone like this in a public toilet, because what can you do? If you leave and complain, you could be reported. And you will also have nowhere to urinate unless there is a separate disabled toilet, so what then? (This is also unfair on disabled people. I have a feeling if self ID comes in their toilets will have queues for them as women avoid the women's toilets for exactly this reason).

I don't get people who say the bathroom issue is minor. I see it as one of the biggest issues in this whole debate, because it is about dignity for women as well as safety. I still wake up every day and cannot get my head around how anyone support letting men into women's toilets.

Also, notice this person's antifa references in their profile. I have been thinking for a while that antifa and TRAs are interconnected since their tactics of aggression, silencing, no debate, bullying, threats, bandana face hiding whilst intimidating people and violence are the same.

Also, what about say, a young woman travelling alone at night. There's a creepy guy on the platform so she goes into the women's toilets to get away from him whilst waiting for her train. For decades this has been what women have done to keep themselves safe and it's worked because men were banned from our toilets.

Self ID allows that creepy man to follow her in, and if she complains to a member of staff (if she's lucky enough to find one) then she's the one in the wrong. How dare she put her own gut feeling and safety before the stunning and brave 6 foot man's gender identity!

The world really has turned upside down.

AnotherAdultHumanFemale,
I hear what you're saying.

This evening, I was very encouraged by reading this thread, and perhaps you could give it a go:
