I'd be tempted to leave the toilets exactly as they are and send every woman who has complained on a gender equality awareness course.
The trans member of staff isn't the problem, they are.
OR not feed this stupid situation, let people from the appropriate sex use their appropriate toilets! The trans member of staff isn't the problem, they are.

In our society, many women feel uncomfortable about sharing a toilet with someone who isn't a woman.The trans member of staff isn't the problem, they are.
I hear today that about 30 women have said that they are uncomfortable with the situation but what bothers them more is that there is nothing to protect how they feel when that feeling is a common response in our society.
Will a gender equality awareness course change the deep routed feelings that they have grown up with and have been surrounded by all their lives?
If anything, it is dismissing the feelings of the majority in the favour of a minority and the majority are being made to feel wrong.
Is that fair and reasonable?

What do they do if they go into the toilet whilst it's being cleaned if the cleaner is male?I hear today that about 30 women have said that they are uncomfortable with the situation but what bothers them more is that there is nothing to protect how they feel when that feeling is a common response in our society.

I've gone into enough toilets in enough countries whilst there's someone in there cleaning and it really doesn't turn into some awkward "Hmm you're a woman could you wait outside whilst I pee" conversation.
I don't get people sometimes

I suggest changing the disabled to disabled and transgender . As disabled is clearly unisex.
Exactly, Mrs geeks has never once complained the disabled toilets are unisex, she has complained when she has needed to go and some selfish arse is in there laying some cable though.JuniorD said:

Not in the slightest, but the course will drum into the women that they have to pretend that the trans woman is a woman or else they are in trouble with HR and possibly the trans person could top themselves and it will be all the women fault or something along those lines.designforlife said:
Yeha my missus has said that in her experience women's toilets are usually in a far, far worse state than mens.
Thirded. My wife said the same about her toilets in a big City bank. st, piss, blood.
She saw a woman once having a st with the door open whilst eating on orange from her lap.

Will a race equality awareness course change the deep routed feelings that they have grown up with and have been surrounded by all their lives?
If anything, it is dismissing the feelings of the majority in the favour of a minority and the majority are being made to feel wrong.

Yes I edited what you said. But this is the equivalent of what you are saying (pre-equality laws).I hear today that about 30 whites have said that they are uncomfortable with the situation but what bothers them more is that there is nothing to protect how they feel when that feeling is a common response in our society.

The ladies have to learn to grow up and join a free and liberal society. Or leave for Russia.
They have cubicles, I'd suggest they shut the doors and worry less about what body parts other members of staff may or may not have.
I'd also think it's because they suddenly feel like they no longer have a space where they can be sexist about other people. But would totally object to "men only" social clubs of any kind.
Women were at the forefront of fighting for equality. This has now been largely provided. It's too late to complain if it's not what was desired.

The problem with this is that the existing toilets don't lend themselves to just a change in sign.
The company already has difficulty in retaining staff as there is a shortage of people with the right skill sets and some of the women are already talking about looking to go elsewhere because of this.
I think the solution is to change the toilets to be unsexed - i.e. separate rooms with their own handbasin, floor to ceiling walls.
The staff also need to be asked to be understanding of working in a modern workplace where the law supports the transgender person's rights as they are a minority.
