    Glad there’s literally nothing more important that our dickhead politician class could be working on 👍

    This is absolutely bizarre. At least in NA, there’s a decent number of family/unspecified restrooms, which are also gender neutral and usually have a changing station. Some have gendered bathrooms as well. But for stuff like apartments, usually they just do a few unspecified bathrooms as it is easier to do.

    This seems awfully unnecessary and expensive just to spite, what, 1% of the UK population?

      It’s not to spite 1%. It’s to give two sets of 49% safe spaces from the other 49%. Recent changes in attitude haven’t made the previous need for segregation go away.

        Trans women (let’s be honest that’s who you’re talking about here) are 49% of the population? Wow that’s crazy, where are they I want to meet them

          No.

          49% (ish) non-trans women would like to have a space away from the 49% non-trans men. They probably don’t give a shit where the 1% trans-women go as they’re not the problem.

            Oh sure that seems perfectly reasonable and in addition to gender neutral bathrooms separate ones are perfectly okay, as long as trans people are allowed to use whichever they’re more comfortable with and this right is legally protected from TERF attacks as it has been under the GRA and EA for a decade, but I strongly doubt this is what was meant because this whole thing as always is a dogwhistle to signal trans hate since no one is actually talking about taking away sexed bathrooms.

      The Tories are desperately trying to find something to appeal to voters. Based off of the recent council elections, they are looking at being devastated in the next general election.

      Unfortunately, when you corner a wounded animal, they tend to lash out at whatever they can, before you kill them. Unfortunately, they can still drag it out till January 2025.
