Yay to double the loos - cos queueing for the ladies in the interval is a right faff
But, what, no actual ladies loos? - NO ACTUAL WOMEN ONLY LOOS

"The Old Vic @oldvictheatre
Our loos now offer ‘self-selection’ rather than being labelled male or female. This takes a descriptive, rather than prescriptive, approach following advice from surveys conducted with focus groups."

it's privileged to get to self select your labels. Most people have labels forced upon them and often spend a lot of time trying to escape those labels

Exactly.

Oh shit. I’d forgotten that if I ever want to take lo to the theatre I have to check the toilet provisions.

I did contact the theatre and they sent me a useless reply finishing with the suggestion that I was welcome to accompany my daughter to the toilet. How nice.
I’ve now been to the venue and the set-up is nothing short of farcical. Everything is labelled cubicles/urinals but in reality there were only women queuing (for quite some time I might add) for the block without urinals and all the men used the block which contained urinals plus two cubicles.
Literally everyone was self segregating by sex, like we have always done, so why the hell they don’t label the toilets female and male, reflecting their actual and practical use, is beyond me. I would love to know who they consulted regarding this redesign because it sure as hell wasn’t the theatre goers. Idiots.

1984 they are complete woke idiots who couldnt care about child human females.Or human females of any sort. I also consider them total liars as they raised money for womens toilets and then spent it all on men . I used to go quite frequently. I have a ticket for Local Hero bought before the toilets changed. But am boycotting it from now on . I should write and tell them that.

I would love to know who they consulted

Given the result, I suspect able bodied men.
