...on toilet cubicle in shopping centre

We're so far down the rabbit hole I can't tell if this sticker is real or fake...

I suspect it's real.

VeryUninspired · 03/12/2023 14:33

Agree, probably real.

NitroNine · 03/12/2023 14:36

I’d guess fake because it’s inside the cubicle & the language is wrong 🤔

gherkinmerkinn · 03/12/2023 14:37

"Biological men who self identify as women" sounds a bit like it might hurt some feels, though.

I really hope that it's fake

boudiccathecat · 03/12/2023 14:38

It’s a real place in Bedford and that’s their logo

But anyone could have lifted the logo and made that.

I’m assuming (hoping!) that it’s fake.
Email them and ask and get them to clarify their stance.

Villagetoraiseachild · 03/12/2023 14:41

A quick google says, Harpur Centre is in Bedford.
I hope there are some local terfs with stickers to spare.

EasternStandard · 03/12/2023 14:42

I hope you find out op, let us know

What about the feelings of disabled people who shouldn’t need to wait in a queue of women who do not self-identify as disabled?

Edit: to use the facilities specifically provided for disabled people.

lochmaree · 03/12/2023 14:44

I was told at work not to use the term 'biological man' so surely this is transphobic??

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 03/12/2023 14:44

I think it’s real but the person who was told to make the signs doesn’t agree with the policy.

Ooh - yes, that sounds entirely possible!

Villagetoraiseachild · 03/12/2023 14:53

I would hazard a guess it's real and the language used is clearer than transwomen, because many (understandably) are unclear what that word means.

ahagwearsapointybonnet · 03/12/2023 14:55

I reckon it's been mocked up by a GC woman to highlight the centre's (actual) stance, because they would no doubt have worded it in a much more mealy-mouthed way if they were making their own stickers, or more likely, kept quiet about it cos they don't give a shit whether women/girls are upset by unexpectedly encountering men there, but God forbid they upset the men with identities by pointing out that they are NOT exactly the same as women and girls, and by alerting the women who would prefer to avoid them.

That makes sense! It reads like it was put up there to warn people after women complained about blokes in the toilets.

JanesLittleGirl · 03/12/2023 14:56

It's far too honest to be real.

Either that, or it's a reverse.

cariadlet · 03/12/2023 14:58

I would guess that the toilets have been made mixed sex.
Somebody (either an employee or a local terf) knows that there are still people who don't understsnd that a transwoman is male so has printed out stickers to explain the realities to customers.

A TRA or handmaiden who approves of mixed sex toilets wouldn't talk about "biological males".

GrumpyPanda · 03/12/2023 15:01

Parody or sabotage. Not just the biological male wording, but also women and girls as a sex group. I think it's brilliant- would love to buy some.

PersonWithInternalGonads · 03/12/2023 15:03

I really hope there's a corresponding one in the disabled toilets there says something like "these toilets are for the disabled, and any women or girls who are uncomfortable with using the female toilets because they are being used by biological men who self identify as women"

Villagetoraiseachild · 03/12/2023 15:04

Yes, but whatever is the truth behind the Mystery at Harpur Centre Netties, does anyone have an action plan?

catduckgoose · 03/12/2023 15:05

Has to be fake, the gender identity cultists wouldn't accept "biological men" as a descriptor.

Villagetoraiseachild · 03/12/2023 15:06

But who would fake it and why?

JanesLittleGirl · 03/12/2023 15:09

Villagetoraiseachild · 03/12/2023 15:06

Because it is an accurate description of what is actually happening in the public loos of Britain.
