Having never been a sexual predator I'm no expert but surely if you're that way inclined a "Female" sign isn't going to be much of a deterrent ffs? I can't see sexual offences going up purely down to "He was pretending to be a woman so he could stand in the toilet preying on females". Clutching at straws IMO. Going by that argument I assume the same people think I'm a potential offender when I take my daughter into the ladies for the toilet. Correct, but voicing such an opinion would see you treated with Tobin levels of contempt in the Terf twittersphere. Predatory behaviour in Men or Women is no reason to make the lives of trans people a misery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Had never put a huge amount of thought into it, or considered asking others what they do, but I had always (dont need to go with them anymore) took my lassies into the gents to avoid the potentially awkward scenario of being a man in the ladies. Used to take my eldest into the mens but she was extremely uncomfortable and really didn't want to go in. So I started going into the ladies with her as she didn't have an issue with it. I haven't had any comments about doing so as I think most people would be mature enough to know I'm in there for my daughter and not any other sinister reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Job Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 The fact is they just don’t want trans people to exist Its that simply The UK Government are already talking about removing legal rights of Trans people from the Equality Act They also felt the exclude Trans people when it comes to the ban on conversation therapy Clicky All this nonsense about toilets and safe spaces is just that Nonsense You’d think Trans people make up a large percentage of the population, they don’t They’re a very small group of people who are being persecuted by a section of social that are egged on by politicians 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people I know are fairly relaxed about trans people. ‘Let them get on with it’ is the general reaction. What is worrying though are the reports that kids as young as 9 are being given puberty blockers at a gender clinic in Glasgow. There were similar reports about the Tavistock in England which, I think, was closed down. By all means battle on for trans people but just make sure that young kids are not being used as human guinea pigs. This story, if true, is very concerning.

They have been used for years routinely UK and world wide to treat precocious puberty conditions. I'd suggest you read up a bit more and read less of the right wing media tabloids.ETA I see someone beat me to it, didn't read beyond the DPB post !

Boo Khaki Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Puberty blockers have been prescribed to Dysphoric children for years, usually when there's a period of time where doctors are uncertain if surgery is the correct course of action, but that's been jumped on by the 'lefties transing our kids' brigade and deliberately mangled into something it isn't.

Miguel Sanchez Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Oh! What serendipitous circumstance. I was just coming on to post a headline on Microsoft Edge's content aggregator, and I see DPB has raised it as a talking point: I was doing to say I wasn't sure who the audience for this stuff actually is, but it makes so much sense. Apparently Caitlyn Jenner has misgendered someone and hit out at LGBT.... something or other recently too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've 'mansplained' that there are 'sign vampires' who want to go and ogle folk in a toilet but can't because of a sign and therefore go through a whole process to declare themselves a different gender to overcome these signs, and will now be able to bypass these guardians of the toilet doors and stroll in to areas they couldn't before, like unlocking a new area of the map on a video game. You do realise absolutely no one buys your act here? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to @DA Baracus, I was discussing the gender debate with my wife the other day, and she made almost exactly the same point he did. i.e. - sexual predators have hardly been standing by calmly waiting for this legislation to attack women, and the thought that there is an orderly queue of them waiting to officially change their gender before storming the John Lewis dressing rooms is fucking rididulous. Her simple (but effective, imo) take on political issues is that if a cause is championed by The Daily Mail or The Express, then its probably made up nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an open debate on some issues but lets make it clear: if people truly believe sexual predators are changing their gender purely to gain entry to womens toilets then they're fucking morons. And morons who quite clearly just don't want to see this happen and are clinging on to any sort of nonsense to make sure it doesn't. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a stunt, and unfortunately, they’ve been given the exposure for it; it should’ve been ignored. Gives rise to the likes of this rum chap who now wants Holyrood shut down. And has a blue tick because he’s paid for it. Utterly desolate. Edited November 15, 2022 by carpetmonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
