Was in M&S Mary Street, Dublin today. All fitting rooms, over the three floors, just have FITTING ROOMS on the sign outside.
Perhaps we should all start buying umpteen garments - several each of same style, different sizes - and then returning them a couple of days for refund and make it clear that had there been a women's changing room it would have saved us, and them, the bother of refunding.When I couldnt find the ladies changing room at M & S, i just decided to try the bra on (over my clothes ) on the shop floor! After seeing a woman doing the same at our local Tesco, where all the changing rooms have been removed!!
Thats the one with the infamous mens toilets, no reason anyone would feels unsafe sharing changing facitilies in there I'm sureWas in M&S Mary Street, Dublin today. All fitting rooms, over the three floors, just have FITTING ROOMS on the sign outside.I imagine it is the same for the other two Dublin stores.
Haven't we been told constantly that there is nothing stopping men coming into the womens toilets, so they're not safe already, so then why are trans women so unsafe in the mens?
Heartbreaking article in the guardian today. Apparently there's been a shared understanding of the law for decades until now. Really?? Shared by who? The trans community? Main worries are toilets (as always) and being placed on a mens ward in hospital (more worried about his own discomfort than the actual womens on the ward that he'd rather be on). Also bangs on about how the government can stop this at any time! Is that even true? I thought the law was the law & the Supreme Court was the final stop for this?
He can run from the truth, but he can’t hide…
If I want anything from M&S, I order enough for free delivery and send back what I don't want. If they can't provide me with privacy, they can provide me with postage!When I couldnt find the ladies changing room at M & S, i just decided to try the bra on (over my clothes ) on the shop floor!

Welcome to my partner's world, Trans person, (not aimed at you, Cokey)."Trans people will be left with a choice between researching toilet provision every time we go out". So f*cking tone deaf. What do they think women have been doing for years? What do they think disabled people do?
They really are the most self-centred of blokes.View attachment 4004288
Indeed. The TW will be attacked in the men's, so they need to come into the women's. This isn't a problem because if a man wanted to attack a woman he would just walk in.Haven't we been told constantly that there is nothing stopping men coming into the womens toilets, so they're not safe already, so then why are trans women so unsafe in the mens?
Slightly OT but you can see the same with vaccinations and School attendance. Things get taken for granted and then become optional because we no longer have direct experience of the consequences of not participating.When did society lose its way? Everything in place in society has been a hard fought battle for all involved be it gender, woman, disability rights it has all had to be paid and fought for I realise that younger folk might not realise as it has been there throughout their life time but it really wasn’t that long ago maybe we need to bring back recent history and society find it way back to respect shame and learn that every action has a reaction it’s like a free for all and to hell with the consequences boundaries need bringing back.

I had older parents so unlike most of my generation who are having children, I have a close family member who died of a now preventable disease. My Dads older sister died of polio a few months before the vaccine. He named my older sister after her.Slightly OT but you can see the same with vaccinations and School attendance.

We're seeing it now - measles is just regarded as having a few spots - people don't realise that it can be a killer! Or can leave a child blind or deaf. And though chicken pox isn't usually dangerous to otherwise healthy children, it can be deadly to anyone with a weakened immune system. I'm in my 70s and knew classmates crippled by polio.I had older parents so unlike most of my generation who are having children, I have a close family member who died of a now preventable disease.

The memory of all those children who died or were disabled because of things like polio was far too quickly forgotten by most.
I'm sure there are dozens of reasons for the current state of things but I observe a lot of some toxic form of individualism. A lot of people competing for being unique and special, for narcissist validation, desperately. Adults screaming like little kids because it's someone else's birthday but they want to blow out the candles on the cake.When did society lose its way?
