Entitled male refused access to female changing area (despite wearing skirt)

[ACatCalledPushka]

Well done to the hotel staff. ‘trans ‘woman’ given key to the unisex changing room instead of the female changing room ‘trans woman’ not happy.

I'm unsure as to why Myra felt compelled to agree AC couldn't uses the gents changing room, I suppose it would depend on how that was presented to Myra as a non option.

I note that poor Myras NO has been completely overridden by AC who has basically decided that their wants and needs take precedent over the woman who is uncomfortable with a male in her single sex space.

😠😠😠

Anne clearly doesn't give a flying fuck for what the support humans want or need. It is literally unthinkable that Anne doesn't get what Anne wants.

Very polite and moderate, while making a clear point. Well done. I’ve been working on one but keep having to delete drafts as my anger bubbles up through them.

Isn't it interesting how, of all the common female names Anne could have chosen to use instead of giving away somebody'd real name, the name chosen to refer to a 'baddie' just happened to be one that's only ever associated with one single person: a serial killer.

If it had been a man whose views had not have aligned with Anne's, would he have been 'anonymously' referred to as Steve, Phil, John, Dave or Adolf, I wonder?

By no means a peer-reviewed source, but I was interested enough to make a cursory search as to how manifestations of these behaviours differed in men and women. The results didnt' surprise, particularly given female sex offenders are extremely rare by comparison with male ones.

There's a section about halfway down the page on women.

Saw a good response to this which was a question asking what he wanted to do in the female changing room that he couldn't do in the unisex, and doesn't that just sum it up very nicely.

Just confirms that’s it all about the validation and not “I just want to get changed”.

Yes, and it's also about forcing women to play a part in his fantasy that's being played out in public, and he has to get into the women's changing room to find the women to make them do that.

This is the first time anyone IRL (in real life) has treated me as if I am not a woman...

That’s a lie.

I try and let stories like this not get to me but this one has got right under my skin partly because he has unintentionally outed his real motivations. Doesn't want to change in a perfectly legitimate unisex changing room because there's no access to women there.

Fucking hell. When will women ever have something that is sacred to us? For the vast majority of these men this is a fetish that we're all being forced to participate in and it makes me so fucking angry.

It will sound a barmy point to make.

But I really am coming rapidly to the belief, not only that no one has the 'right' not to be offended - and when offended assuming carte blanche to go after the perceived offender - but that this lack of right should be enshrined in law.

Hate speech needs an absolutely clear, unassailable set of definitions - already accounted for to some degree with public order offences such as threatening behaviour or causing harrassment, alarm and distress (which surely the TRAs yelling at 'Let Women Speak' in Portsmouth just lately were guilty of doing. Whilst masked, as cowards do).

It's a ridiculous, OTT position to have to be in. But the ridiculous, OTT set of uniquely historical circumstances we now find ourselves in have made it, IMO, necessary.

TalkTV presenter Julia Hartley-Brewer also weighed in, tweeting: 'Yeah, sure, what all women and girls are looking for when they're naked in a changing room is a big angry man who demands to be in there with them because he's dressed as a woman. Uh huh.'

Do we think Anne swims in the men's or women's category if they take part in swimming competitions?

Yeah. Why would any woman feel uncomfortable in an enclosed private space with an angry bloke in a skirt and a bad wig?

The sense of entitlement in that post is astonishing.

"In fact, I don’t actually want to upset anyone, but I am determined that I am going to use the female changing rooms."

'In fact, I don't care if I actually upset anyone, but I am determined etc etc because my sense of male entitlement is so breathtaking that I don't actually care about anyone else's feelings. Especially not women's.'

FTFY, 'Anne.'

do you even need to ask

That's a very good point, which hadn't occurred to me.

We know that Anne swims in the women’s category and is in world top ten for 65-69 category.

They are much slower than the other men and wouldn’t be anywhere the top ten in the men’s.

Does anyone remember this Little Britain sketch?

@SapphosRock it is so prescient that I am wondering whether Walliams and Lucas had seen this coming years back, but assumed that such behaviour would never be countenanced as regular in our society and so could be the subject of humour. Heaven forbid!!

Just to clear something up for me please,

Is gender now considered the same as sex?

So it's gender that is how spaces are split?

Because I thought sex still trumped gender when it came down to it?

But we are, aren’t we?
