Trans people have a moral and legal right to use single sex spaces. And have been since before you were born. It's an almost certainty that you've unknowingly shared a bathroom with someone who is trans.
No. They have claimed a moral right to use single sex spaces. And let's just see what the EHRC says about the current interpretations of the EA.
And have been since before you were born. It's an almost certainty that you've unknowingly shared a bathroom with someone who is trans.
Another tired old trope. Sure, the very few transitioned males were told by their male doctors that they should use female toilets.
I doubt they were welcomed into many single sex refuges and shelters, but would have of course, been welcomed in a minority. Because we have been told by people who started women's shelters and refuges that absolutely no males, transitioned or not, were welcomed into those spaces.
And so on.
I daresay that I 'have' unknowingly shared a bathroom because often I don't even look because I am in a hurry. However, when I need to have privacy because I have a pram stuck in the door, I am accutely aware of who else is walking by.
To keep telling women that we cannot tell who is male and who is female is another wonderful old trope. Even a male with full feminisation surgery, including on their voice, has to walk sometime. And those hips don't lie. Nor do their hands. And it is really interesting that people like to perpetuate that 'passing' myth.
As I said, what does it matter.
If a male knows that they will cause distress entering a female single sex space and yet continues to do so, that says all we need to know about them.
