[IcakethereforeIam]

I don't know if this has any wider implications

Well done. Shameful that her complaints were ignored for so long.

well done that woman
hopefully this case will get lots of publicity and can be cited n future cases

Good for her. Grim for women having to share toilets with random men.

So good to hear, after 4 years of human decency being denied to this woman.

Good for her.

Good.

'Employers have to provide facilities suitable for any worker, including those with disabilities, which includes:
...

• separate facilities for men and women, except where each toilet is in a separate room lockable from the inside'

Can anyone post the text please? These bloody firewalls drive me mad. Will this have implications for schools with mixed toilets?

Sorry ignore me - the archive link is accessible.
Well done that woman!

The bit about having to clean the loo before using it is also interesting. We have unisex loos at work which are just a big room of fully enclosed toilets but shared washing facilities. Seats are always covered in pee.

I've been using this example as the dignity part of sharing loos with men/TW, women inevitably have to clean someone else's pee off the seat so they can use it.

I think this is a good argument against unisex at school. It's not suggesting the boys are dangerous or pervy just that the girls have to clean up after them.

There is no excuse for peeing all over the seat. That is just lazy and disgusting and shows a complete lack of respect for others sharing the loo

Yes, good for her and what an absolute travesty that she had to put up with it at all, never mind four long years.

Is this a common thing? I don't think I've ever come across it.

Well done Vaneeza. Yet another instance of men showing how little they think of women 😔

I can't read the article, can anyone post a readable link please x

The one beginning "archive" works for me. This one, the second in the header:
