Well that's one less beardy man on there defending rape and death threats.

Some of us don't. Why are we not allowed to say no to male bodies in female spaces? Why does our consent not matter? Why are additional, gender neutral spaces not good enough?

You see we never do that with anyone else do we? We don’t say that there are peodophikes that are some men so that being said men shouldn’t teach as they may be peodophiles etc. etc

Safeguarding of children interesting what about the children that harm themselves because they feel different do they not matter that they get proper counselling

No one would disagree that these children need proper counselling.

Its the other stuff that mermaids are providing that's the issue.

I find it extraordinary that they people who say they are on trans kids side don't think they deserve safeguarding. It's immensely fucked up.

Do you not understand who can come into women's spaces when the only requirement is to state that you "feel" like a woman?

Personally they are but gatekeeping only harms women like us any way as butch women are getting stopped from using loos to besides which trans women have been using womens loos for decades

Why do you think that?

We put in safeguards. Safeguards that you want to tear down to validate the belief of some people that "woman" is a feeling.

Would a third space for male people who "feel" like women be acceptable? If not, why not? They're women, aren't they?

Oh they do but mermaids got rid of that bloke when they found that stuff out it wasn’t as black and white as portrayed though

rapists would come in regardless they don’t care about signs ffs

Gatekeeping harms women? Did you actually just say that?

So you accept that women are unsafe if they have to use facilities with men, but you think it harms women to maintain female spaces?

Do you hear yourself? Are you for real?

I can't make head nor tail of what GN said wrong in this recent post. His previous posts about JKR show he doesn't know what he's talking about. But was this one really that bad?

They shouldn’t need a third space why at my leisure centre we have mixed changing rooms it’s cubicles with locks it works no issues what’s the issue here

Do you understand how safeguarding works?

I'm not a paedophile, I have never committed any crimes, but if I want to work with children I undergo the same safeguarding and DBS checks as anyone else. I can't just say "I'm a woman, I am statistically highly unlikely to be a sex offender plus I'm nice so just don't bother".

No. Societal expectation is a real force, as well you know because you're trying to weaponise it now to make women too scared to say no. Once upon a time, we had the force of societal expectation to challenge men in women's spaces. Now you have removed that safeguard, reversed the societal expectation, while claiming it doesn't exist.

First of all telling a woman that may not look feminine that she can’t use the womens loos is wrong and that happens because people like you want to police the bloody toilets etc I don’t find trans women a threat at all

Yes you do a dbs check but if you haven’t been caught nothing will show but if you are a man then how do we know you are not a peodophile to use the very same logic as those that seem to be scared of trans women all the bloody time

That's not what I asked. Why is an additional third space not acceptable to you?

Can we stop the absurd pretence that a butch woman looks like a man? The butch women I know never wear a scrap of makeup but are clearly female.

You're the only one who mentioned women "looking feminine" or suggested women can't use women's bathrooms.

Yet I can link you newspaper articles where they have been stopped from using loos

Have you got this terrible tweet yet, by the way?

Because it bloody well happens it’s happened on this group a woman out a post up to

Yes put it up go look for it

And the butch women I know are often misgendered. At least two of them have been yelled at when using women's facilities. Maybe you can always tell, but clearly not every one can.
