University Toilets 'Degendered' ForTransgender Students

BBC said:

A row has broken out at the University of Manchester after its students' union toilets were "de-gendered".

Temporary signs have made the "ladies" simply "toilets", while the "gents" have become "toilets with urinals".

The changes are in response to an unspecified number of complaints from trans students who are uncomfortable using the men's toilets.

From here (and many newspapers today) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/manches...


I caught the tail end of a radio interview with a Manchester University student named Heather who is a pre-op trans (as he she referred to him herself. Apparently it's a problem being a biological male dressed in women's clothing. If you use the Gents you get called a pervert and if you use the Ladies you get called a pervert.

Male toilets have cubicles don't they, just in case they need the other?
Why can't they use these

Which Eunuchversity is that?......

Why do we even need separate toilets these days? Apart from the fact women are dirtier than men.

My old students union there, what a load of tosh. At least the women won't have to queue when there are big gigs on.

Which nicely backs up my whinging post in the Website Feedback forum about the fecking search engine on here being pants.

I just KNEW someone would have picked up on this but did it come up in a search? No.


Oh, BTW. Worst 'I got there first' post ever

During my Uni (Leics) days the girls using the gents was common practice to avoid the queues. Waving a flacid cock and shouting whhhooooahhh at them as they walked in was considered great sport...

This thread is a load of cock.

Surely the best way would be to have men’s, women’s, disabled and transgender. That way you only have to change the signs on the disabled loos.

Alternatively tell them to get a life and stop worrying about it. If they are Pre-op and confident enough to dress in women's clothes in public then what is the problem in going into the women’s and doing what they need? Short of leaving the seat up or having a shave in the basins they're not going to get caught out by anyone. That is unless they have chosen to tell the whole world...

Why not make the toilets Y chromosome or no Y chromosome (I was going to suggest XX and XY but that discriminates agains XXY's and XXXY's and XXX's - rare I know but they can be quite touchy) ? Solves the problem surely?

Technically couldnt anyone now go into either toilet? Seen as though it doesn't specify one gender or the other?

So then anyone can go into any toilet? Funny how the girls can wander into the blokes loos and it's not a problem yet if a bloke did that he'd be arrested.....
