We need to keep fighting this.

[DevonTF]

I have been trying to understand how we are in the present situation in 2021 - Gender Identity / Queer ( ie - what happened at Redbridge Library today) the loss of women and children rights.

I keep talking to friends - who have no idea. The don't seem to be aware for example that men can be classed as female if they want when recording crimes - including sex-based crimes (I have images of the FOI responses from each police force now to show everyone), and what this means. Men in prisons / in spas / in any place they damn well want to be.

I have been talking it through with my Mum - She feels it is similar to the MagPie scandal of the 1970s. I, my Sister and brothers were all born in the 70s/80s. She recalls this, as a young mother being a terrifying time. Until more and more voices started speaking out.

Is this us now ?

Thanks @RoseAndGeranium for replying. Re boys trying out girl guides - that would be fine if they officially made it mixed sex (like scouts), but the issue is that they have made it about gender (which is a belief in someone's head and not particularly verifiable). You might find this thread interesting:

Re gender neutral toilets (aka mixed sex toilets) I also think they could be a really useful solution, and I think I'm right in saying that new build public buildings have to have them?

The issue is existing provisions and also cost (not just of installation, but cleaning individual 'rooms' is more costly than cleaning banks of toilets and sinks).
