Menstrual huts 2.0

[PopstarPoppy]

Apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere and I have missed it.

One of the current favourite comparisons made by the TRA lobby is that not allowing trans people to use toilets that align with their identity, and instead suggesting that they use unisex ones, is akin to ‘segregation’. It seems those determined to be inclusive at all costs found a way around this…or at least thought they did. The solution, in a school, no less, was…to segregate menstruating girls. Menstrual huts 2.0. Un-fucking-believable. How the hell can anyone fail to see how wrong that is?!

Thankfully the courts were more sensible:

Yeah, that's just what girls want when they're on their period, a special toilet so everyone and their dog knows. And why were these toilets unisex? For the boys on their periods?

The thing that's never mentioned in these cases is what the staff toileting provision is like. Somehow I doubt the teachers are using unisex loos (with cubicles which I assume don't go floor to ceiling) with sinks opening straight into a corridor.

The claim by the council that 'young boys do not subject girls to sex-based harassment' is just ridiculous head-in-the-sand as well. A poster on X cited the many primary schools mentioned on 'everyone's invited,' but even without evidence it just doesn't make any sense - do they think kids leave at the end of primary without any experience of sexism but somehow become indoctrinated over six weeks just in time for secondary school?'
