I'm not sure that this is in line with the law.

They need to label all 3 ponds as mixed sex.

Why not label the mixed pond ‘Transwomen and Allies’ and then all those women who aren’t bothered about sharing facilities can get some extra virtue signalling points, the transwomen will be surrounded by women who won’t complain and will even compliment their womanliness. The women’s pond can be labelled ‘Mean and selfish women’ or something similar, and be left to women who want to be with just women. Wins all round?
Or will there actually be transwomen who insist on using the pond where they know they are not welcome, hope to cause distress and claim persecution? I wonder…

Edited

Quite.

I'll very happily use the saggy titted bitch terf scum labelled space, I'll embrace it joyfully if there's no bloody men in it.

And yes, the men can enjoy their mixed sex pool, if it's self ID then whatever, I might feel manly, and I might not. No one has any options to enjoy now because the T want everything as usual.

To conform with building regulations, it will have to be universal toilet rooms, fully enclosed with their own sink and dryer. Each will be private (no gaps) and resistant to sound. They should be able to be unlocked easily from the outside. You can have pictograms of women or men or universal on the front to differentiate but all universal designs must open up onto a main circulation space. The women’s and universal should have a sanitary bin.

They normally require mechanical ventilation and cleaning them will be less efficient.

The sink and dryer won’t be as hygienic as those in a washroom (not in the flush plume zone). They are a nightmare for safety in comparison to cubicles. They will find this out after the huge extra cost of installing these.

Also a bit of a cleaning headache if the floor is constantly wet and there are more nooks and crevices.

Wouldn’t trans inclusive be male pond, female pond and third space for trans people

I'm pretty sure it was always men's, women's, and mixed. Trans people have always had somewhere to go there, they just want to go into the women's out of principle. Makes it much worse if you ask me

It means that biological and trans women will continue to use the Kenwood Ladies’ Pond,

I don’t understand why it would be called a Ladies pond. That is mixed sex so it must allow men too or be discriminatory.

There's no issue at all with women with various gender identities being in the women's pool, they're all women. The issue is just men. A small group of whom desperately want to take anything women have for themselves, regardless of who it harms and what they leave damaged in their selfish wake.
