Frankly it is a travesty that the onus is completely on the venue, proprietor, staff etc to keep TIMs out of female spaces. Female spaces are for females only - PER LAW! Meaning if you are a male and you willfully enter a space that you know is female only you are willfully breaking the law and should be charged with criminal trespassing. Is that not what used to happen prior to all this nonsense? In sane times if a woman saw a man enter a women's bathroom she would fetch a policeman and he would be arrested, done and done.
If men know they can be criminally charged if they attempt to enter a woman's bathroom that will at the very least greatly reduce attempts. The staff won't be forced into an awkward or potentially dangerous confrontation they could just call the police.
But the way this is written is just going to open the door to all forms of harassment. Think about it, the kind of men who want access to female spaces are doing it TO BEGIN WITH for attention and the thrill of knowing they're where they're not supposed to be. Without holding the men legally responsible for their actions it's just going to increase confrontations.
I feel bad for the 18yo girl working at Primark who's expected to tell a 6' 250 lbs 50 yo man to get out of the women's dressing room or else... What? Even if she's legally in the right, do you really think he's going to budge? Bc worst thing that could happen is she calls the police, they come and tell him to leave, he does, and walks right into the next Primark.
