A small step maybe, but to be applauded all the same.
New offices, schools, hospitals and entertainment venues will be expected to have separate male and female lavatories, government sources have confirmed, in a move to curb the sole installation of gender-neutral facilities.
Good.
The plans, headed by the equalities minister Kemi Badenoch, were quietly approved last month, The Sunday Telegraph reported. The government has said that some children were avoiding using lavatories at school because they only had access to gender-neutral facilities.
This being one of the negative aspects of bowing to a tiny minority of screeching activists who want us to think that every other person is trans and goes along with their insane ideology.
Campaigners for trans rights have pointed out that gender-neutral toilets can be reassuring for some transgender men and women who fear discrimination in binary toilets.
There was a time, once, when this would have resonated with my empathic side. However, now I simply don’t give a damn as these people have made so much noise and made every effort to force us into submission, that I am thankful for any pushback, no matter how small. If this is now a problem, then they have only themselves to blame. If it’s a problem used the disabled ones. I really don’t care about their complaints any more. I know that there are trans people who do not go along with the ideology and I sympathise, for they are caught in the crossfire, but this activism needs to stop and there is only one way to stop it and that is complete refusal to submit.
On the face of it, this sounds like a great idea. But government really shouldn’t be having to tell anyone that separate male and female toilets should be built. To me, this looks like government trying to appease both the majority and the minority at the same time. It won’t work.
@longrider – you articulate my thoughts exactly; sympathy for the tiny minority affected, and yes they can use the existing accessible provision of they feel uncomfortable in the gents/ladies.
And government should have sod all to do with this other than saying that people are people and they all have the same basic rights regardless of sexual orientation.
One Small Step… Then Retreat?
Some? Even 40% would only be 0.16% of population. These sex facists want 99.84% of population to be discriminated against so 0.16% feel good. They should be told to get lost. Why the hell don’t they use disabled loo?
Well done Kemi Badenoch, but will it be enacted?
Johnson, Plattel, Javid, Zahari, JRM, Raab… have all failed
In theory gender neutral toilets could be provided without inconveniencing anybody, apart from those who were paying for it all that is. The toilet are would have to be a lot bigger with lots of individual unisex units in it. There could also be male, female and unisex facilities provided. Whether we need to to this for such a small minority is the question. Is it as big an issue as providing disabled facilities for people who are physically unable to use the ordinary facilities? My thinking is partly based on the portaloo set ups that they have at tri and running events. Dozens of individual units that anyone can use. Sometimes there are urinals too and this eases the load on the individual units a little.
