So, trans woman infiltrates conference, row ensues. Who'd have though it?

@Quaggars

Exactly, what does this have to do with women or feminism in terms of this board? This wasn't a specifically feminist event and no women were involved.

So... Trans issues are a concern and a conflict with woman's rights so absolutely a feminist issue....
until you get a situation like the harassment in this video and then it's an about turn and '' what has this got to do with feminism?! Nothing to do with us. '' 🙄
Erm... Why all the countless threads on people who are trans and where they should or shouldn't pee then?!

You're right, Quaggars.

No male should be accessing female toilets with a recording device. I do find this a feminist issue, and very worrying.

Were the police called?

Reading the tweets she said the device was switched off when needed the toilet.
I can't blame anyone if they have a device when they're out and about if they're used to getting abuse just for existing.

DomesticatedZombie · 24/03/2022 11:48

I see. A male in the women's toilets with a recording device is doing it for safety?

Like this?

also: don't we all have our phones on us when we go to the toilet?

Exactly, I know I do.
It's not like people leave their phone at the door before entering the loo.

ScreamingMeMe · 24/03/2022 11:58

Why do people keep calling it a recording device if it was just a phone (which granted you can record people on)?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 24/03/2022 11:59

Ives was quite clear that it was a dictaphone, I think.

ScreamingMeMe · 24/03/2022 12:00

Ah right. So people should maybe stop calling it a phone then.

Quaggars · 24/03/2022 12:00

Why do people keep calling it a recording device if it was just a phone (which granted you can record people on)?

The point was that everyone (or most people anyway) regularly take a recording device into the toilets with them, whatever form it takes - not quibbling over what type it was

Ereshkigalangcleg · 24/03/2022 12:01

Most people don't attach dictaphones to themselves when they are out and about though.

Which is why it's even more important in 2022 to keep men out of women's toilets than in the 20th century. Almost every single male now has a video recording device on them.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 24/03/2022 12:02

Excellent point.

I didn't think anyone used that bullshit line '...just for existing' anymore. Surely you have figured out by now everyone can see through it?

now you are complaining there wasn't a camera?

I know a lot of cyclists who have cameras on them to document the aggression against them.

Quaggars · 24/03/2022 12:06

See through what? Didn't know it was '' a line. ''
I just meant harassed just for going out your door, going about your daily business, people do get harassed for doing exactly that.
Which is why I said for existing.
In other words if they're more preferable, just for being them.

TVkilledtheRadioStar · 24/03/2022 12:06

It had a microphone on it that was pinned to the bra they were wearing. They shared the recording with KM so they could discuss the sounds women make when they are on the toilet and the differences between men and women on the toilet or between women and trans women (which sounds transphobic ifTWAW). What an invasion of privacy the whole thing was to the poor unsuspecting victims of an act of voyeurism.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 24/03/2022 12:12

Er, no. Confused Please don't put words into my mouth.

Whatever Jen is, Jen is not a person entitled to use the toilets designated for use by females, however they identify,

Ereshkigalangcleg · 24/03/2022 12:13

I'm sure it's long been established that not everyone agrees with this whole gender identity trumping sex concept.

A phone has many functions though. A dictaphone has only one.

By calling it a phone you are downplaying it because most people do indeed have a phone, and making it look like people were suspicious for no good reason. Whether you are doing this on purpose or not I couldn't say.

What? Are you sure about this? I think ot was last year's IWD when Katy and CursedE were laughing at women's toilet habits.
