Does a woman in the men's toilets make you uncomfortable

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has issued guidance to all workplaces and service providers, e.g. pubs, restaurants, etc about what the Supreme Court ruling means to the use of their toilets:

"In workplaces and services that are open to the public:

- trans women (biological men) should not be permitted to use the women’s facilities and trans men (biological women) should not be permitted to use the men’s facilities, as this will mean that they are no longer single-sex facilities and must be open to all users of the opposite sex

- in some circumstances the law also allows trans women (biological men) not to be permitted to use the men’s facilities, and trans men (biological woman) not to be permitted to use the women’s facilities

- however where facilities are available to both men and women, trans people should not be put in a position where there are no facilities for them to use

So, trans men enter the loos designated for women, and trans women enter the loos designated for men.

What could possibly go wrong?

The law is an ass! Sometimes there needs to be some common sense shown but the law makes no sense. Do we need to have 'Gents', 'Ladies' and 'Others' now?

Pre- and post-op transexuals, people with GICs etc, will be outing themselves every time they need to go to the loo

They are trying to fix a problem that does not exist.

But I guess this is the backlash now against the anti-science dogma of the equalities industry that went unchallenged for so long under the "trans women are women" mantra.

Oh, and the guidance also says trans men are to be barred from entering men-only or gay-only premises - presumably saunas and the like

Females and Males clean toilets in the service stations. You are warned!

Women’s toilets are inherently private.

Men Toilets have communal urinals. I do not want my female family members seeing me taking a piss.

However

Men and Women now have protected spaces.

It would be fairly easy for most places with Disabled Toilets to assign them a dual use.

Women have fought for and been granted equality.

Up to 1972 women were not allowed to run a marathon. Women have fought for equal pay and equal pension ages, Women have campaigned for voting rights.

Etc Etc.

The really bizarre bit is that a trans man who looks TOO masculine can also be prohibited from entering the women's loos. Same goes for a trans woman that looks too feminine, they can be prohibited from entering the men's loos.

Have they really thought this through?

I don’t think k it’s anything to do with what you look like. The guidance says you can’t use single sex spaces of the sex other than the one you were born into. Nothing about how convincing you are.

Gents toilets are for gents. Ladies toilets are for ladies. What you are at birth defines what you are. Not complicated. This day and age their should be single public cubicles everywhere. No argument then

Oh, but it is.

The guidance says if you are TOO convincing as the opposite sex, you can also be prohibited from your birth-sex toilet on the grounds other users will feel uncomfortable!

Most public toilet cubicles have spaces under the walls. Which can be abused by some pervs.

Most young guys, use the cubicals for a piss.

Difficult one and anything but black and white. I cannot see a problem with post op trans women using women's toilets though natural born women [hate that stupid and unnecessary prefix 'cis'] might well disagree with me. A man in a frock is a different matter. Perhaps if genuinely transitioning then yes. Transvestite/crossdresser no.

Transman on men's toilet less of a problem. Chances are they are going to use a cubicle rather than the urinal. Tvs/cds in gents toilets? Well they could be putting themselves at risk. Real women in gents toilets a massive no. There should be safe men's places and safe women's places.

And then there is the person of the male sex who can wander into the women's loos by asserting they are a trans man. No need for the predator to wear a frock, just look like a guy.

Neither is preying on women, but how do you prevent it when trans men are expected to show up in the women's loos?

In those cases either the husband or father of one of the real ladies using that loo identifies as a tooth fairy and knocks his teeth out.

Allocate the disabled toilets for the very few people in this country that would be better suited using a single use private cubical.

The MAJORITY of people in this country are MALE or FEMALE. and their space is rightly protected by law.

I doesn't matter what I think. My consent is not transferable.

Feel bad for all the genuine trans people that were simply trying to get on with their lives. Unfortunately the widening or removal of definitions and gate-keeping has opened the category of trans to include men with autogynephilia or a cross-dressing fetish.

If I, as a big burly bloke, find them terrifying, I can totally sympathise with women that wouldn't want them in their loos and locker-rooms.

Big burly blokes have been keeping us TVs and themselves very happy for years so I wouldn't worry about it. We should have three toilets, Male, Female and unisex or the simple unisex toilet cubicles used currently.

This legislation was designed to define what exactly constitutes a 'man' and a 'woman'. It's impossible to create a law that will please everyone in this instance and there will always be those that don't quite fit.

Ultimately this legislation was designed to keep men out of women's personal spaces and it does that. In my book that's a big win.

To answer your question, if a trans woman or indeed a cis woman wants to use the gents i couldn't care less. I've seen the queues outside the ladies.

Don't forget there was a huge surge in young girls being referred to gender identity clinics from about 2005 onwards.

There numbers greatly outweighed the boys.

They were placed on the conveyor belt of puberty-blockers, hormones and surgery (now all suspended by the NHS).

There is a whole new generation of FtM coming through.

My friend's erstwhile daughter is now her 18-year-old son.

Full facial hair, tattoos up the neck, masculinised.

He will be expected to walk into women's loos looking like a young man - and then you get people on here promising to smash his face in.

This really is a solution to a problem that does not exist.

The solution is already in place. It’s just a sign change on the Disabled Toilets. Then increase the disabled toilets and everyone wins.

Gay men and Women have fought for equality and are more accepted than ever before, some would say there’s still a way to go.

When a guy comes out as gay now in 2025, the response is mostly, so what.

Trans people are undoing all the efforts and equality that gay men and women have fought for.

Trans will be accepted more if they blend in and not continually strive for special treatment.

Look at me I’m trans, so what. Get on with it and accept that biological men are men and biological women are women.

I had a conversation with a female friend only the other day which was no conclusive and a bottle of wine later.i simply asked if she had an issue with it which she responded yes, I asked if she had any issue uses using festival or plane toilets etc which she said was different. She alluded to to the suggestion it may lead to sexual activity!!! I laughed and said you think overtime I use the pub toilet I'm getting a bj "I could only hope" she said oh that's different but soon wanted to change the subject as she knew her thoughts were incorrect.

That may be true in some cases but it is quite a presumption to assert as fact that every FtM now coming through was diverted from the path of being a lesbian woman.

Go read the Cass review. The massive spike in referrals and numbers that were same-sex attracted is conclusive. No presumption.

Yes if she is non trans.

Why is it ok for a woman to clean/ go in mens toilets and not visa versa unless the toilets are universal?

In my opinion a toilet is a toilet. In some countries they have unisex toilets. There's cubicles so what's the issue?

Fair enough though i do believe that, were gender realignment to not exist, the vast majority would be lesbian women. Ironically this legislation denotes ftms to still be lesbian women (assumimg that they sleep with other women).

Can you kindly give us some specific examples of legal cases arising from this? We keep getting told there is a major problem of cross dressing men assaulting women in female spaces but I've never seen any evidence. So far, as Sara points out, this seems like a solution to a non-problem.

Why should it have to result in assaults leading to criminal prosecution? By then it's already too late. I wasn't even referring to that. The mere fact that most women are uncomfortable sharing their personal spaces with men should be sufficient reason to pass this legislation. Or are you of the opinion that they're rights fall below those of the trans community?

I do agree the GIC gave too little consideration to other factors that might have been causing distress in the child, not least autism, trauma and homophobic bullying.

Anyone who suggested a cause other than gender dysphoria was cancelled as a transphobe.

The lack of clinical governance was shocking.

But it does not follow that every child was being offered a way out of their sexuality by being placed on a medical pathway for the rest of their life.

"A man walks into a toilet my granddaughter or daughters in please expect some pain

So a mam goes in to just use the toilet, nothing else, no ulterior motive and you want to assault him?

Some people are really fucked in the head."

Don't think that is what he meant at all. Guess he meant that if a man goes into a Ladies toilet, despite a Gents toilet being readily available, then he could expect 'consequences'. A genuine mistake fair enough [remember a club years ago with a cowboy theme and the toilet doors said Steers or Heifers which confused non-country folk] but if he goes in there for 'predatory' reasons then that might be another matter. NOT that I am condoning violence.

is discomfort about a minority more important the the rights of a genuine trans person? Historically we have been uncomfortable with many different minorities - I’d like to think we are better than that - like it or not the legislation makes genuine trans women who have lived as women for years, are no threat to anyone more at risk - the actual threat to women (.rather than just feeling uncomfortable) is vanishingly small - men are the biggest threat - now they can come in women’s toilets and say that they are trans men with no challenge….

I think the biggest worry is for women who identify as men.

Being forced to use the woman's toilet (if disabled is not available), puts them at risk of conflict imo.

"The Equality and Human Rights Commission has issued guidance to all workplaces and service providers, e.g. pubs, restaurants, etc about what the Supreme Court ruling means to the use of their toilets:

"In workplaces and services that are open to the public:as a frequent traveler I’ve visited countries where it’s normal for men and women to share the same toilets and shower facilities

- trans women (biological men) should not be permitted to use the women’s facilities and trans men (biological women) should not be permitted to use the men’s facilities, as this will mean that they are no longer single-sex facilities and must be open to all users of the opposite sex

- in some circumstances the law also allows trans women (biological men) not to be permitted to use the men’s facilities, and trans men (biological woman) not to be permitted to use the women’s facilities

- however where facilities are available to both men and women, trans people should not be put in a position where there are no facilities for them to use

So, trans men enter the loos designated for women, and trans women enter the loos designated for men.

What could possibly go wrong?"

Breasts in public unless you are breast feeding a baby, would result in a warning from a police officer.

By laws also prohibit Breast displays on beaches for instance.

I’d like to see more naturist beaches, in suitable locations.

In reality the guidance around toilets is useless.

In the workplace they are your colleagues that you know so most aren’t going to be bothered at all.

For public toilets its never going to be policed so trans people just need to be realistic and take a sensible approach. If you look like a man use the mens, if you look like a woman use the womens. If on the off chance you get called out for being in the “wrong” toilet, respect that is a space designated by sex and wait for that person to finish and leave before going in.

In direct answer to the original question: No, a woman using a male toilet does not make me uncomfortable. Many venues, hotels, cafes and the like have "unisex" toilets. Sometimes there's only one toilet (in a small café for example). There are cubicles, it's fine. If it's a male loo with urinals and, obviously, cubicles, I'm still ok with it. Doesn't bother me at all.

So many times there has been a long queue for the ladies and none for the gents. Use both!

This is "guidance".

No-one - not a service provider nor a trans person - is breaking any law should they choose to ignore it.

Where it might become relevant is if a customer decided to raise a civil action against a service provider for compensation, alleging that their sex-based rights were infringed.

As the proprietor, had you chosen not to enforce sex segregation in the toilets you would have left yourself open to losing your license or a prosecution under sex discrimination law.

"I've been visiting straight venues dressed for 20 years or so ....toilets have never been an issue,womens toilets are cubicles and the only thing we share ...and fight over lol is the mirrors!

If I'm expected to use the gents,stand at the urinals in strappy heels and have the guy next to me pissing all over my feet....then they're sadly mistaken ! "

Yes,....many of men on here seem to equate toilets with something sexual...the possibility of some sexual contact taking place.Redolent of the 'cottaging' days?

All I do is have a wee,check my hair and makeup,in the privacy of the private cubicle,wash my hands and leave.

Here's a weird one for you.There used to be some place down Watchet way...Somerset...a bit hi di hi...camp site...static caravans etc.Week long event...was ok ish.

The ladies loos were about 9 or 10 cubicles...but only the first 3 were designated for use by trans?.

Maybe they were worried that we might piss on the seat .

I remember reading a story about a trans woman who used to make a living out of claims under the Act.

Every time they were misgendered on a train, for example, they’d file a claim against the train operator.

The train operator had the choice of agreeing a payment or risk being drawn into a court case with the attendant bad publicity. They usually just paid up.

Let's see. This is a hot topic (likely to incur some "setting an example" judgements) and wouldn't want to be the one defying the supreme court.

"No man has the right to decide this on behalf of all women.

No, it's the owner of the service who decides what the rules are on their premises

Correct. Years ago I was running a pub. There were complaints about some of the younger clientele using the wrong toilets i.e. girls going into the Gents and lads going into the Ladies. I clamped down on it big time. Barred a couple of lads and issued a warning that anyone else abusing the toilet regulations would be barred.

As the proprietor, had you chosen not to enforce sex segregation in the toilets you would have left yourself open to losing your license or a prosecution under sex discrimination law.

Watch, as there is likely to be some cases to test the enforcement, following this recent clarification from the supreme court.

The Equality Act 2010, which consolidated all the previous acts, include the Sex Discrimination Act, is a civil act, not criminal law.

The requirement in planning law on service providers is to ensure adequate provision of toilet facilities for customers. Beyond that, it is down to the proprietor to set their own rules.

The Act becomes relevant where a customer decides to seek compensation - in a civil claim - because their protected characteristic was discriminated against."

At the time I am talking about, pub licences were still being granted by magistrates after the prospective licensee had been interviewed and vetted by the police. Complaints about misuse of the premises could be made to the police--no doubt still can--and if the police thought you were running a disorderly premises or house of 'ill-repute' they could apply to the magistrates to suspend or revoke your licence. Things changed a bit when licencing was transferred from the courts to the council but infringements can still be complained about, investigated and, if serious enough, lead to licence revocation.

I've known women to use the Gents when there's a queue in the ladies and no-one bats an eyelid.

Wouldn't bother me anyone using same facilities as me, as long as they are respectful etc. it's all good.

People complaining about trans not being women clearly haven't met anyone trans I reckon, to be so threatened. Gender neutral toilets seem the sensible answer 🤷‍♂️

I've worked in bars and been sexually assaulted by Women, on many occasions. And no, I didn't enjoy getting grabbed by a dr unk pig.

A sex offender is already breaking the law and risking a lengthy prison sentence as well as their life generally being ruined. They do it anyway. They don’t need an outfit to do it. If they did use an outfit, it’d be a cleaner’s uniform and a mop, or just become a copper.

Yes, however the dress gives unencumbered access to a space, without security cameras, that women get naked/are more vulnerable. And a legal opportunity to participate in voyeurism and exhibitionism. Or at least it used to, until the Supreme Court clarified the reasoning behind providing single biological sex segregated spaces.

But does a trans woman (biologically male) in a women's toilet bother you? Possibly not unless you are a woman or girl.

Surely a workable solution where space permits (not always easy though) is to have Gents, Ladies and re identify disabled as Unisex.

Well, now they don’t need a dress. Just identify as a trans man and the guidance you support means they can pop into the ladies.

"The really bizarre bit is that a trans man who looks TOO masculine can also be prohibited from entering the women's loos. Same goes for a trans woman that looks too feminine, they can be prohibited from entering the men's loos.

Have they really thought this through?

Increase the number of disabled toilets allocate them a dual use. Everyone wins."

If I'm in a mood to attack women. I know what I'll do!

Dress up so I stand out as a tv and go in the ladies, in a pub where I could easily be set upon when I come out. That's the previous risk.

Or... Look like a man with feminine ISH features and go into the ladies as a trans man. That's the new risk.

I don't see how safety has been advanced tbh.

Women now have the Law on their side if they see someone suspicious. They won't be convicted of phobic hate crimes.

Unfortunately, yes, there will be some mis-identification. Unfortunately a pendulum swing was inevitable.

A dress never gave anyone access to anything. People can just walk in, there’s literally nothing to stop that. It’s then up to the people inside the space to object if they feel the need to (and can). That might be based on looks and it might be based on behaviour.

If an obviously cis man walks into a women’s toilet, the women will object. If a lesbian or bisexual woman was to walk into a women’s toilet and do something inappropriate, the other women will object.

Pretty neutral myself and it wouldn’t bother me either way. But tbf I can appreciate that a woman might not want some hairy mary in a wig with smudged makeup sat there swinging his dick, getting off the fact he is showing off his knobbly cock to all and sundry.

Changing rooms at the local gym, communal showers that women use should be separate and if the man can’t use the mens then a separate facility will have to be used.

The problem has never been genuine trans people the problem has been the widening of the definition of trans to include fetishist cross-dressing straight men, and the attempt to redefine woman. That's where the push-back originated and was justified.

It's unfair for men to just say "trans women should be allowed into women's spaces.its completely exclusionary of a womans right to feel either safe or just to be able to get undressed or go to the loo while feeling comfortable. Mist men i know couldn't give a shit if a woman entered their spaces but most women don't feel that way.

The water is flooding back down now, and catching in its torrent ordinary decent trans people who wanted nothing to do with their activism.

Totally agree. Years ago I too foresaw the inevitable backlash coming against the militant activists. It was only a matter of time before their rhetoric and bullying would be tolerated no more.

Like you, I only hope the hard-won reasonable everyday rights, for the average LGBT individual just wanting to quietly live their life, are now not swept aside by the upcoming reset.
