Going back to the OPs post, I think the women who disapprove of the trans person using their WC should be asked what exactly is their problem. They say they are uncomfortable, but why are they uncomfortable? They should be asked to state it to a mirror, and then give themselves a slap on the face afterwards.

Same happened here at our place. Big IT company. Women started getting a bit huffy when tans started using their toilet.

HR made it clear that the policy was on the trans side.

Seems that anyone has the right to use any toilet they like effectively. You don’t have to prove your sex.


Women now seem ‘used’ to it.

TBF Mrs Iroc has told me that in her experience the women's bogs can be pretty downright revolting too.
Yeha my missus has said that in her experience women's toilets are usually in a far, far worse state than mens.
Like this?

This.
This.

The women will then all start to use the "Disbabled" toilets because some men seemingly have aiming problems and piss all over the seat.
It's some people getting 'disbabled' that causes this kind of ruckus!

hehe

I don't know if the term is 'supressing' or 'repressing' certain feelings, but whichever it is, Alan535 is doing it

Would be curious as to the age of those “uncomfortable” with this vs. those who don’t have a problem with the situation...

As for our friend Alan, without wanting to stereotype, one presumes he’s both old and uneducated.

My feeling is that if you allow a bloke in a frock to curl one out in the womens toilet, then if you employed this person



He should be allowed to st in a box in the corner of the office.

That was my question too - it appears to be a broad spectrum.

I expected it to be the older ladies but that shows how ageist I am!

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.
In our society, many women feel uncomfortable about sharing a toilet with someone who isn't a woman.

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?
It's a difficult message to convey to them, but fundamentally the women who are complaining are the problem here. No one wants to hear that they're being unreasonable, but if they can be encouraged to look at this from the other person's point of view they might recognise that being transgender is a hell of a lot more difficult than being what society considers "normal" and showing a bit of generosity of spirit and making some concessions to one's own instincts is not asking much.
