So the answer is to treat all transwomen as dangerous predatory men?

So the answer is to treat all transwomen as dangerous predatory men?

Yes, because that is how safeguarding works. Why do you think that there are single sex toilets in the first place? It's to keep out dangerous predatory men even though 99% of men are not dangerous & predatory.

Men who would like to be women have only been barging into the Ladies since they first gained access to oestrogen, boob jobs & genital surgery about 50-60 years ago. This invasion has increased markedly in the last 10-15 years as dangerous predatory men have discovered that they had carte blanche to access the Ladies once they claimed a female identity.

If someone harasses, assaults, or intimidates another person in a toilet, that behaviour is already illegal and should be dealt with regardless of that person's gender identity.

Excellent, so any trans-identifying male who has trouble in the men’s toilet can just report it to the police.

@Mum2boys01, has it occurred to you that if you, very rightly, believe in single sex prisons & refuges the TRAs will condemn you as a terf?

James Morton was quite open about the Scottish TRAs starting with trying to get trans-identifying males into women’s prisons because that was the thin end of the wedge. Fuck the women prisoners, their safety & wellbeing weren’t remotely important in this.

Men have been undergoing genital surgery and getting boob jobs in order to attack women?

Er, you do know there’s no requirement to have any medical treatment for men to claim to be “trans”?

Mum2boys01 · 19/07/2026 11:47

I dont think at any point I have said anything about not protecting women at all. The big issue is that I believe a trans woman has the right to female spaces because I recognise them as being female. I have not suggested single sex prisons or anything other than that. Trans people are 4 times more likely to be attacked than any cis woman. Thats a stat. Ignore it if you wish.

Mum2boys01 · 19/07/2026 11:49

Is the concern only trans women or trans men too? What if a trans man comes into a female space which they have the right to do?

Now you are being disingenuous. You know full well that the vast majority of men claiming to be women and wanting access to women’s facilities don’t have and don’t want any kind of surgical intervention.

Do you think surgery or hormones are required for a person to get a GRC or to have the PC of gender reassignment ?

What if a trans man is in a woman's space. They take hormones in order to aid their transition they may have had surgery but this law will allow them in a female space

It doesn’t matter why men claiming to be women do so. It could be “for the hell of it”, because “I’m bored on Thursdays” (Philip “Pips” Bunce I’m looking at you) or because it’s the only way they’re able to look on a mirror.

It doesn’t matter why.

Theyre all still men.

No, they are doing it because they have the sexist idea that certain types of mind and certain ways of thinking belong in certain types of body, and if you think the "wong" way for your actual sex then you have the wrong body and you need to change it.

Which is of course attacking women by reducing how we are understood to sexist stereotypes even if they do not frame it that way.

(Well, some do. Some are just fetishists. It's a great big diverse world out there and trans "women" are not all coming from the same place.)

Either way, I don't think anyone would suggest a man wearing a t shirt with a sexist slogan should be accomodated by women having to behave around in him in line with his sexist beliefs as if they were actually true, and I don't think it's any different just because the sexism is expressed through surgery rather than slogans.

Literally, the definition of "being trans" is someone stating, "I am trans." That's it, nothing more is necessary.

And no, being gay is not a choice. But being gay doesn't lead anyone to trampling other people's rights. Being trans does lead some trans people to ignoring and trampling women's and LGB people's rights. So, no comparison.

The obsession with converting toilet designs to a free for all has been flouting building regulations, which are founded on health and safety. This has led to a decline in health and safety, particularly for women and children and those having medical emergencies.

For those planning refurbishments in England:

This section deals with requirement Tl from Part T of Schedule 1 to the Building Regulations 2010.

Requirement
Toilet accommodation
T1. (1) Toilet accommodation in buildings other than dwellings
(a) must consist of
(i) reasonable provision for male and female single-sex toilets, or
(i) where space precludes provision of single-sex toilets, universal toilets, and
(b) may consist of universal toilets in addition to single-sex toilets.
(2) In this requirement—
"single-sex toilet" means toilet facilities which
(a) are intended for the exclusive use of persons of the same sex, and
(b) provide washbasins and hand-drying facilities in
(i) either the toilet room or cubicle, or
(i) a separate area intended for use only by persons of that sex.
"universal toilet" means toilet facilities which—
(a) are provided in a fully enclosed room which contains a water closet and washbasin and hand-drying facilities, and
(b) is intended for individual use by persons of either sex.

Caveat: of course there are certain exemptions (schools mainly), so take further advice.

Trans-identifying women are still women and are welcome in women’s facilities. Even if they have a full beard and wear trousers.

its easy. Use the correct facilities for your sex. Everyone.

You know thats not true right? A trans person does not just say one day im trans and thats it in order to be recognised as trans there is a lot more to it

Even after surgery you would welcome then in women's spaces?

I think very few men who identify as women do anything to their genitals. Indeed, the fake boobies may heighten their delight in their male genitals. Some do, but it doesn’t make them women any more than men who have had surgery for penile cancer etc.

Males can have paraphilias (fetishes) in a way that women really don’t. They can have a number of them, and they can escalate as they need more and more to keep the thrill. They can escalate in a way that can be a danger for women and children.

‘So the answer is to treat all transwomen as dangerous predatory men?’

Well, just like all other men really. Although, it appears from the prison statistics that proportionately a higher percentage of men who say they are women, are in prison due to convictions sex offences. In comparison to other men who do not say they are women.

So, not less likely than other men to sexually offend. Or to put that into terms, to be dangerous, predatory males.

No, really, trans is literally self-declarative. "I am trans" is absolutely all that's needed. If you insist I'm wrong, by all means, explain what else is needed.
