Oh of course the sign wasn't on the mens toilet, it's just women who need to give up
their space for inclusivity, it makes me sick🤬!

That's blatant sex discrimination. Can we report en masse to the EHRC?

'“The signage in the picture displayed is to give customers an option of gender-diverse toilets, so we have something available for everyone,” the spokesperson said.
“The signage was mistakenly put towards the female cubicles, however it should have been placed in the middle.
“This has now been updated so there is a male, female and gender diverse option over the three separate toilet blocks.”
The female toilets sign has now been removed from one set of cubicles, and the “gender diverse” sign has been removed from the women’s cubicles.'

Hmm

Hmm

Doesn't make a lot of sense to have a "gender diverse" option when they're also saying "use whichever toilets you feel like".

Absolutely. Looks like a festive sex fudge!

'Both sets of women’s toilets carried signs at the entrance that read: “Gender diversity is welcomed here, please use the toilets <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.ph/o/GclR1/www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/features/ed-cumming-restaurants-label-toilets-ladies-gents/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">that best fit your gender identity or expression”. The sign was not placed on the men’s toilets.'

'Yes we have single sex toilets that are free for any gender to use'

I took DD to Sheffield Uni open day recently and the toilets in the humanities blocks were men and gender neutral.
i asked where the woman’s toilets was and was directed twice to the GN one with no reply when I asked again about facilities only for females.

I was in a pub in London a couple of years ago after the Chelsea flower show, a tube ride away.

Was a traditional pub with real ale so full of northerners small, standing room only.

Found loos in the basement, had a mans loo and gender neutral, no womens

went back to bar and asked for an explanation, got rolled eyes.

so i kicked off, told everyone around me, well shouted in outrage actually “ did you know there are no female toilets” got lots of what??? hubby with a sigh, searched for nearest real ale pub and i generated a mass exit to said pub.

That is what i am like, had not heard of Posy Parker at the time.

"Festive sex fudge"? Perhaps something for the (sheer black hold-up) stocking?

@Bannedontherun ❤️❤️❤️

At least they've changed it now, but yes, absolutely appalling (and can anyone guess their likely reaction if a Very Special Man wants to use the women's toilets?)
