The posters at the toilets in the Alan Turing Institute at the British Library in London, claim women should not stare at, challenge or insult trans individuals using the toilets and should ignore and turn a blind eye even if they feel frightened.

They ask users not to challenge others if they think they are using the wrong bathroom, and that posters were put up to make trans and non-binary people more comfortable.

However Sex Matters campaigners say the posters are making ‘women feel unsafe’.

I think you meant transwoman. A transman would be a woman who transitioned to be a man.

Where does the Women's Lib movement stand in all of this?
They scream how woman make less money than a man. That women are relegated to the kitchens barefoot and pregnant. That women are second class citizens and many of the complaints that are justified go on and on but when it comes to a biological man hanging out in the Ladies restroom, a place where women could traditionally go to get away from men if only for a few minutes is now being invaded and the women are being told to shut up... This is so wrong.



Where are the Women that fought so hard for Equality yet when it comes to bathrooms they are taking a seat...?

They are basically telling women to ignore their instincts that serve to keep them safe.

Women’s rights to privacy and increased safety are being trampled upon because the left has decided that it’s much more important to accommodate men who falsely believe that they are women instead of actual women. Predators have already and will continue to take advantage of the loopholes that give them easier access to female victims.

Misogyny must be deeply ingrained in the women who support this intrusion.

I changed to individuals, as who knows what to call them.

Some feminists are very much fighting back against this. Others are all for it.

Will they install urinals? Or do trannys pretend the need to sit too?

Since when do people have a right to never feel uncomfortable? Get over it!! How many Americans feel uncomfortable on a plane with a bunch of people who are obviously Muslim? Probably lots, but Muslims have a right to be there too. Transwomen should be allowed to use the women's bathroom. Sometimes you have to adjust to uncomfortable situations and hopefully over time you can relax and accept them. No doubt those who object would rather transwomen use the men's room, but they are surely much safer in the women's room.

Yeah... and if ya'll get raped or assaulted by one of these trans folks, keep you mouth shut. Do not make them feel uncomfortable.

In other news, divers in shark infested waters should ignore nearby sharks and just close their eyes if they feel frightened. I am sure that ends well...
