"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. | |||

"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. " 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! Its bonkers! | |||

"I would not want to be the service provider who has to train their staff in the new do's and don'ts of toilet regulation." It’s very simple Men to the left, because Women are always right. If you are not sure, go for the middle. | |||

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

"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." The prefix CIS was made Redundant last week in the Supreme Court. A Man is a Biological Man A Woman is a Biological Woman. | |||

"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. " Hopefully we will have the support networks ready for all those young women that were mislead by this social contagion, when they eventually realise what a terrible mistake they have made. | |||

" 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 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. | |||

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. | |||

Or are you of the opinion that their rights fall below those of the trans community?" 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…. | |||

"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?" | |||

" The prefix CIS was made Redundant last week in the Supreme Court. A Man is a Biological Man A Woman is a Biological Woman. " I absolutely hate the prefix "CIS". I find it offensive to be referred to as such. | |||

"Keep womens toilets for women, and make men's toilets unisex or gender neutral. I've enjoyed watching a few women using the urinals. ![]() You are obviously joking or pervy. Most men, and especially gay men, value their men only spaces and do not want women invading them. | |||

"There are going to be stories about cis women who people misread as trans getting attacked in toilets as well." There is no such thing as a CIS woman. There are women & There are men The whole Trans rights debate was lost by the militant, bearded crossdresser brigade. Genuine trans-men & women, have had their worlds blown apart by a ruling that was never needed. | |||

"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 " Utter nonsense, entry to a members only premises is entirely at the discretion of the proprietor. As for a Gay/Bi sauna it is anyone who is 'obviously' a female that they would not wish to enter. There are a small number of FTM who go to my local sauna, they are very welome and will remain so. | |||

"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. | |||

"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 . | |||

"A couple of grand is the going rate for a compensation claim - the value of the harm to someone’s feelings" 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. | |||

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. | |||

"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. | |||

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?

"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. | |||
