Good news - Morrisons confirm sex segregated toilets

[HermioneWeasley]

FairPlay for Women challenged them about toilets becoming mixed sex in one store and they have confirmed this is an error in signage and their toilets are men’s or women’s. Good to know some retailers still have sense (especially as I was running out of places to shop)

Good. Though of course I am now awaiting the pile on and the reversal of policy so that it is more inclusive. This shit is making me more and more cynical!

So we need to tell them how pleased we are they’ve got it right!

Great, I do like Morrisons.

Always loved Morrisons.

Very good, and also excellent that they understand invisible disabilities.

I should bloody well think so. It was a Morrison's women's toilet in which XY trans person Katie Dolatowski sexually assaulted girls. They of all shops should recognise allowing bog standard XY people into the ladies puts women and girls at risk.

Can I be the first to say, 'More reasons to shop at Morereasons'?

@Floisme

You have been and may you be forgiven

Morrisons are from Yorkshire where they call a spade a bloody shovel.

Oh dear. There is always one.

Good news on the loos though.

Ah, they must a bought their sign from the same place as KFC.

Thank god, I can't boycott them as well, I'm running out of places to buy food!

Just thanked them for this

No mention of whether they actually enforce it though so doesn't mean much. A mixed sex facility is bad but at least you know what you're going to or can avoid.

'Morereasons to shop at Morrison's!' was actually their advertising slogan when I was a student in Leeds.

We quaffed lots of Morrinov vodka & Glen Morangie whisky.

Fair play to them & their dancing carrier bag logo 😁

A mixed sex facility is bad but at least you know what you're going to or can avoid.

Eh?

No. Mixed sex is not better for some really convoluted nonsensical reason.

Well done Morrisons.

Excellent news. Unfortunately I have no Morrisons on the doorstep, I'd have to travel to go to one. My nearest 'big' supermarket with toilets is Sainsbury's and I've no idea what their policy is. There are a couple of good Co-ops but they are considered to be 'small' shops (not that small tho'), & don't have lavatories for customers.

I tend to buy groceries online anyway, it's easier to have them delivered. Then I can go to the loo at home :-).

I didn't say unsexed ones are "better" just more honest than one you expect to be female only and find its not.

This is great news! I was in a branch the other day and noted with approval the way in which the toilets were labelled 'female' and 'male'. I love Morrisons. I always do my big shop there. I don't have one near where I live, but luckily they will still do a delivery for me.

About bloody time a supermarket took a stand on this issue.

I'm so pleased. I am a very loyal shopper at my local one. And use the cafe weekly, often more!

I might not have blue hair, or a fancy gender-identity, but I'm a creature of habit. Thankfully this time, I don't have to abandon one of my few favourites

Our Morrison's has men, women, parent and child, and 2 individual unisex toilets one of which can take a wheelchair, suits all people

Um. Not wanting to burst bubbles but that doesn’t say anything about not including male women in their definition of women.

Also re Yorkshire knowing which way is up, may I just remind you where Leeds is?

Very sensible of Morrisons.

They also have excellent baby changing facilities in my local one. You can get a double pushchair/double trolley in and there is a toddler suitable toilet, good seating for breastfeeding in privacy if wanted and a safe nappy change.

Whoever designed it obviously listened to harassed mothers having to do the shop with two under 3 and designed it around that.

Very women friendly.

I love Morrisons, it's my favourite supermarket anyway based on selection as well as price - their bakery bread is really good as is their own brand hummus. I'm delighted to finally hear a good news story on this for once and really, really glad I don't have to add Morrisons to my boycott list.
