My question was no form of gotcha, but it’s very rare to have someone of the posters life experience and intelligence interacting in a space with people who wouldn’t welcome them into a single sex space I’m sure they use regularly. If you consider it to be a gotcha it’s because there is obviously a line at which it wouldn’t matter to some women and that is that they would have to pass completely as their new gender.

It just seems quite jarring that one minute people say things like the post above and then thank the poster for contributing to the conversation because they share certain views that are the same. But if that poster walked into that single sex changing room and you knew nothing about them you’d be up in arms, something which I’m sure they do all the time.

Saying my conversation is basic because it’s pro-nouns and bathrooms etc, pretty much most of what trans people are asking for is those things and safe medical care.

And no I don’t think blue would suit me thank you, I think you’d rock it though xo

Those that did it were noticed. Women are trained from an early age to STFU around men in such scenarios. The vast majority of them have zero chance of 'passing'.

they never had one in the horseshoe last week and I was gutted as I was planning on pretending I was blackadder just before going over the front
I think I'm too young for this one, which is something I rarely say these days, so thank you.

It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s free in the mens and we have to pay
Either would I. Its still one of the worlds biggest injustices, It still baffles me that Ireland is the only country in the EU without VAT on tampons and it took us leaving to do that too here!

I'm confused about the tampon machine. If a man really wants to use one, is he going to use it in the men's loos? Would he not be trying to pass as a woman and use the women's?
Pretty sure the tampons are for female to male trans people, nothing to do with male to female trans people which seems to be what people have somehow labeled it as. Its for what a lot of people here would define as women presenting as men.

Everyone knows that’s what it’s for. We aren’t stupid. It’s a waste of money because very few trans identifying females are going to go in the mens toilet because, as we keep being told, they aren’t safe. And the ones that do feel confident that they pass enough to go in aren’t going to out themselves by buying period products from a machine.

Well actually, I was never trained to "STFU" around any men in any scenarios.

Ding ding ding. Exactly right.

It interests me that the only person that SueDoyou seems to respect on this thread is the bloke, not women with boundaries.

We're completely fine with trans people sharing spaces with their own sex.

Looks like the official story is that she’s stepped down. I wonder if she’s done it to try and avoid an investigation, thinking if she just resigns and deletes her child’s history, it all goes away?

I hope Dr Gallagher will face consequences for her actions but could never see it in the USA sadly.

Yeah right…she stepped down cos the Board demanded she do so

CEOs are never fired, they always “step down”…because the Chair says they have to. It’s a firing dressed up as resignation for PR reasons.

Everything about the timing and wording of yesterday’s announcement strongly suggests to me that something bad has is about to be exposed, whether it’s something in the Sunday papers or the Charity Commission judgement is imminent, or something else, so the Board has panicked, taken legal advice and forced Green out.

Happy to be proven wrong and we’ll find out pretty soon I reckon

Gallagher will get hers. She’s mutilated too many minors and the spotlight’s starting to get a bit hot.
