GENDER NEUTRAL IS MAKING TOILETS & CHANGING ROOMS UNSAFE FOR WOMEN.

The vast majority of reported sexual assaults at public swimming pools in the UK take place in unisex changing rooms, new statistics reveal.

The data, obtained through a Freedom of Information request by the Sunday Times, suggests that unisex changing rooms are more dangerous for women and girls than single-sex facilities.

That the data in the above quote, only suggests, that changing rooms are for dangerous for women and girls than single-sex facilities, goes to show the level of ignorance when it comes to keeping women safe. 

Any fool with half a brain cell could tell you putting men into situations  where women are in a state of undress or in a vulnerable situation like sitting on the toilet will tell you that the women is in immediate and real danger. This article is not about stopping trans women from using female facilities as they are in as much danger as the rest of us. 

Self declaration by a man saying he identifies as female is open to abuse and allows a sexual predator easy access to those he stalk. Self declaration also harms the cause for trans women to be legally recognised for what they have become - women. My fully trans friend Susan is horrified at the idea of having to undress in a changing room or go to the loo with a man in the same space as her. Susie had to have feminizing hormone treatment. She took Estrogen to grow boobs and anti-androgens to block her male hormones giving her a more feminine appearance. She also had Gender Affirmation surgery - basically she had her penis and testicles removed and a virgina created - she has the right to be protected as a woman. Gender neutral spaces is opening the door to any sexual predator who puts on a dress because he fancies a grope in the ladies changing rooms - it endangers women like Susie as much as it does someone like myself who was born a woman.  

 We have decided to boycott any store or establishment that inflicts gender neutral spaces on us - and I urge all women to do the same. We now also ask before we have a meal out or go to buy clothes, "Are the changing rooms/loos separate spaces for men and women?" If they are not we go elsewhere. 

Hopefully the UK National Trust reverses their decision to have gender neutral toilets, but until they do, Susie and I will find other places to visit.  

Women are raped everyday, by strangers, boyfriends, husbands, family members, and even serving police officers. Allowing men with their full genitalia, no matter who they identify themselves as, is just adding to the list of unsafe spaces for women.  Sexual exploitation is not a thing of the past, and unfortunately never will be. When it comes to sex, modern man still has primeval sexual urges. You just have to listen in on 'pub talk' between men to understand this. A male friend of mine said this - "Men have a lust factor." 

I have great sympathy for people who are caught in the middle of the gender neutral argument. Those who genuinely identify as a woman, but have yet to fully transition have been put in a difficult situation by the lust factor of men. Something we birth women have had to endure for centuries.  

It's about time we women stood up for ourselves, and said loudly to organisations installing same sex loos/changing rooms - WE DO NOT WANT TO SHARE SPACES WHERE WE ARE SEXUALLY VULNERABLE TO MEN.

Always in communal spaces women will suffer as second best, as if it isn't enough that we have been the second best gender for generations on generations. I do not want to be sitting on the loo with my knickers down and a man going to the toilet in the next stall - where if he had a mind to, could look over the top of the separating wall and watch me in a very vulnerable situation.

Just take the difference between a men's toilet and women. Something as simple as leaving the toilet seat down will not happen. Men pee standing up - ergo they lift up the seat and leave up. Women pee sitting down necessitating to lower the seat left in an upright position - yuk! This is both inconvenient and downright unclean.
Men's toilets are always smelly unpleasant environments. I once unwittingly used a men's toilet because some idiot thought it funny to change around the signs for the ladies and gents loos. The men's toilet was disgusting. It stank and was trashed with dirty loo paper - unfortunately the loo didn't have urinals, so we ladies were, without realising it, the unwitting victims of a male's idea of a joke. Why am I relating this story? Men do not think like women. It would not have occurred to a women to change the loo signs, and inflict the male inability to keep public toilets clean on someone going for a pee.

We women have to realise we are at war - war with an ill thought out ideology of total gender inclusiveness. We had to fight and go to prison to get the vote - now we have to be just as angry and verbal to protect our rights of safety being threatened.

Stand up ladies - shout out loudly - WE WANT TO BE SAFE - KEEP CHANGING ROOMS/TOILETS SEX SEPARATE.
