Barclays confirms trans women to be barred from using ladies’ toilets

[MNW67]

They refused to consider evidence/counsel form stakeholders and medical science.

That wasn't terribly smart of them.

That issue is being taken to ECHR, I believe.

Many women were upset that 'chest feeding' became a thing in the NHS. Many people full stop are unhappy about the word women being appropriated by transgenders. Its amazing how aggressive these so called transgender 'women' are towards real women. They only seem to care about transgender feelings, not about the feelings of proper women.

By the same token any women who feel that the use of words such as 'breastfeeding', or 'mother' is more important than transgenders living their lives, must be extremely non-empathetic.

Or they are using such weapons in their transgender war.

Anyway I thought this thread was about men's and women's toilets and the power of an employer/service provider to insist you use the correct one.

A very good point!

In workplaces, it is compulsory to provide sufficient single-sex toilets, as well as sufficient single-sex changing and washing facilities where these facilities are needed.

https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre/interim-update-practical-implications-uk-supreme-court-judgment

In workplaces and services that are open to the public:

• trans women (biological men) should not be permitted to use the women’s facilities and trans men (biological women) should not be permitted to use the men’s facilities, as this will mean that they are no longer single-sex facilities and must be open to all users of the opposite sex
• in some circumstances the law also allows trans women (biological men) not to be permitted to use the men’s facilities, and trans men (biological woman) not to be permitted to use the women’s facilities
• however where facilities are available to both men and women, trans people should not be put in a position where there are no facilities for them to use
• where possible, mixed-sex toilet, washing or changing facilities in addition to sufficient single-sex facilities should be provided
• where toilet, washing or changing facilities are in lockable rooms (not cubicles) which are intended for the use of one person at a time, they can be used by either women or men

Seems clear enough.

Another hop, skip and jump from you.
But this post proves your original comment was fake news.

All businesses need to do is provide

Male
Female
Disabled/others (call it what you want)

Job done.

correct - there is legislation that requires employers to do this.

How many toilets should a workplace have?

HSE's relevant legislation is the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. Regulation 20 covers Sanitary conveniences

www.hse.gov.uk

Now you admit that there are other options. The EHCR is a very recent publication, just a week old, and the piece you quoted refers to workplaces. Munroast original referred to Businesses.
If you need an explanation of the difference. I'll try to help.

Well done for learning form Hopkins experience. Admit your mistake then it's all over.

I think we need to cut these trans women some slack. One thing in their favour is how feminine they look and how they're not any stronger than your average women e.g. in sports.
