M&S Colchester claim mixed changing is ‘completely safe’ for women.

How is it that M&S can continue to flaunt the high court ruling and do not offer single sex changing rooms?

Abouterf in this video confronts the store manager and is fobbed off and told that it’s head offices policy:

Colchester @marksandspencer I asked where the women’s changing room was to try on swimwear. Manager Andrew (he/ his /him) says gender neutral changing areas are “completely safe” for women and girls. For asking him this question, he told me to leave the store.

Oh god, are you 12? 🙄

Name them or admit you're full of it.

Transphobia is inherently linked to white supremacy.

You can try and patronise me all you like chicken, you're an outlier who mistakes online hivemind for real world opinion.

How will you feel down the line, knowing you were part of a hate movement? Could never be me.

The hate towards women from the TRAs is disgusting.

This is 'your side' btw

When they bring the misogyny out in full force, you gotta hand it to them

😭

This shit doesn't work on independent strong thinkers lol
The biggest misogynists are transphobes

@Joanneken you're very much in the minority with your views. the vast majority of women want single sex spaces for entirely sensible reasons.

'a new YouGov study, the fourth in a series reaching back to 2018, shows an increased scepticism towards transgender rights across the board – and particularly in the two and a half years since our previous wave of this study.
Notable in this most recent study – conducted in mid-December – is the growing resistance on transgender rights among those groups that are typically more permissive on the issue, like women and young people.'

Oh gosh, I wonder what could possibly have affected this polling.

You asked for non white GCs

You got them.

What's your problem?

What is wrong with ME? How about what is wrong with the disgusting perverts who do it?

She would be exposed to the same in any retail environment.

You are really something, jumping to ask the Mother of a victim what is wrong with them, rather than addressing the elephant in the room.

MEN accessing female spaces.

No sex based rights? Okay.

So females shouldn't be allowed to ask for a female clinician?
Pregnancy protections and entitlements don't exist?
Of course sex based rights exist.

Mental.

I'm not reading all that.

There is no excuse for placing your child in that environment after repeated traumatic incidents. Saying this happens in all retail stores is just a lie.

No that was just the first three that came to mind.

I've given all my chairs to Dame Katy so can't take a seat.

Okay, I'll give you a bit chance here.

Please explain to me, slowly and clearly, what is 'hateful' about saying that 1) humans can't change sex, 2) men can't become women and 3) women's rights should be respected.

I await with interest

My problem is that transphobes are never just one kind of bigot, are they?
Scratch a transphobe... Is a saying for a reason.

Look how many support Trump?
Look how many are mad for Tommy Robinson (who they have no prob using his preferred name, may I add)
Look how many are pro Israel
Look at the brawl at the FiLiA conference because some women dared support Palestine.
Look at the christofascist funding people like sharron Davies and the Darlington nurses.
Look at CPAC funding Posie Parker
Look at LGB Alliance, based at right wing Tufton St and linked to the Heritage Foundation.

I could go on..... Wake tf up.

MintBird · Yesterday 15:24

Is it appropriate (or legal) to doxx and harass store employees who are doing their job and say something one doesn't want to hear?

Not saying anyone here is responsible but gender critical people on social media are abusing an employee.

You're just attempting to throw mud at the wall now.

You asked for examples - you got them.

So we were right, yes?

You seriously need to get an identity outside transphobia. The referring to 'we' is a dead giveaway.
You just want to belong somewhere or to something.

Pingponghavoc · Yesterday 15:28

This is a very strong reaction to criticism of unisex changing rooms and pornhub.

Yes, I belong to a group who think that scientific factd should be respected, as should women's rights.

Guilty as charged.

You seem to be against all that though.
