So why bring up Trans Women in Female toilets? - (you do realise trans women have been using the toilets they want for decades now?)
All the Trans women where I work use the unisex disabled toilets without any compulsion, they just think the women are more comfortable that way.BikeBikeBIke said:

It's not a school, it's a further education college. They don't do that.

In any case, kids now apparently don't generally use the showers - and the policy for the last 25 years has been to build cubicles rather than the communal facilities my generation was forced to use.
Prompted me to ask my daughter about post- swimming showering at school.https://www.newcollege.ac.uk/

Never thought about it.
Turns out the facilities are such you can use a cubicle or shower with friends. She likes to shower with her friends, she says.
They are 6-7 age group.
Same facilities used by all kids after relevant swimming classes up to age 18.
So I guess some still use communal part.
Different country and all that.
I guess their generation just identify as 'not stinking'.
Last lesson of the day I hope?
On the topic of toilets:
A lot here we have in cafes, restaurants, clubs etc are mixed: as in a row of cubicles with shared hand washing facilities.
I was out on Friday last week. Where we had a nice drink toilet facilities were six stalls with man and women waiting. Couple of sinks. Cubicles are solid construction; not those flimsy open at the base affairs
Isn’t that the solution?

Are we not allowed to reply to posts that go off-piste a bit?
I think the whole topic of whether trans students should be allowed in colleges and if so which toilets they should use is too large for a discussion of whether the teacher in this particular school was treated fairly.otolith said:

Probably part of it. Possibly also the staff are wary of trying to enforce showering - ours would be in the changing room herding naked kids into the showers, but while there was gossip and insinuation about the PE teachers back then, these days it's taken a bit more seriously. Who would want to open themselves up to that kind of thing now?otolith said:

That wasn't just my school then? BikeBikeBIke said:
Neutral for me but If I'd been trans it would have been awesome.
Ignoring the issue that trans people’s sexuality isn’t tied to their gender identity - you’re saying it would be awesome because you could perv? And you think it’s trans people who are the problem? Not pervs?

I find that a rather strange position. We expect police officers to be polite and respectful. We expect the same from doctors, tax inspectors, ticket inspectors, doormen, receptionists. Even setting aside any idea that it's appropriate to default to treating anyone disrespectfully if they don't have a choice about being there, this is a further education college, not a Borstal.
Based on statistic alone, technically I taught the lowest academic children in England one year. Many of the children were only allowed in for my lesson and then had to go home
Regardless, I was always polite and respectful, they were the most successful tools I had!

Yes, because I could perv, and I made no comment whatsoever on trans people in general.And you think it’s trans people who are the problem? Not pervs?
Now you mention it it, I'd agree sexuality isn't tied to gender Identity. Don't you find that odd? People with Women's brains trapped in a man's body almost always have a the sexual desire of a man. Odd that *that* bit of the brain is male.
