Men in women's changing rooms - not transwomen, ordinary men

Any male being allowed to use a changing room with the sign Women above the entrance is farcical, a complete undermining of Women’s rights, rapidly being seen as of no consequence! ?

It’s the usual majority bowing to the minority.
It is wrong on many levels.

And they wonder why high street shopping is dying out.

It’s almost unbelievable that men are being allowed into women’s changing rooms.

The shop was quite right not allowing a woman into a male changing room. Just as it is very wrong that men are being allowed, by some shops, into female changing rooms.

Ain’t that the truth, in your final sentence, Chewbacca. It only works one way. ?

A friend’s daughter wanted to buy herself a man’s suit so she found something she liked in a store and took it to the men’s changing rooms. She was refused entry because ‘men might feel uncomfortable’ if there was a woman sharing their space.

She was told she had to schlepp all the way to the women’s fitting rooms, on another floor, where of course, she may well have encountered men trying on frocks. She told them what they could do with their suit, which wasn’t polite. angry

Have to hope some poor woman isn't attacked by one of the men taking women's clothes into the changing room.
The store may have to have a policy then.

This particular line caught my eye: 'We have to be very careful, it's a very sensitive time and it's very easy to offend people

But it doesn't matter one iota if the "people who are offended" are women. Only a man's feelings are to be protected; whether they're natal, trans or bi. Male privilege is to be protected at all costs.
