We did have a poster on here a few years back, like that- made a few salient points that a lot of posters agreed with on here , re issues that we've all raised, but they ended up bowing out because ( I think) they could see the damage coming in Society and all they wanted to do was to live quietly as they wanted to without treading on Women's toes.In this particular case, re womens changing rooms I do agree.
However I do think that maybe someone who transitioned 30 years ago, who has a GRC, and has chosen to undergo surgery, and lives thier life quietly and unassumingly as a woman, or as a man, is perhaps in a slightly different position to someone who has jumped on a bandwagon literally a couple of years ago!
I think its also about respect for women, and acknowledging that women have a right to be scared/aware of men and their own personal security around men, and that women have a right to have separate spaces.
Dr Upton may have put on a dress and lipstick, but he isnt behaving like a woman at all. He hasnt got a clue about acting feminine! I cant think of many women I know who would deliberately put themselves into a position like this knowing that their actions will make other women uncomfortable and feel distressed.
Yes- exactly this. It's a big problem I have with it.To be honest, I have no issue with fetishes & kinks, as long as it's between consenting adults & kept private. The problem with TRAs is they expect all other people to go along with it in public so therefore it isn't mutually consensual, often involves minors and it's not kept private.
He's soon had the rug pulled from under him.What a horrible, disingenuous man he is. He really thought he'd get away with only giving half a story and everyone would clap and cheer how stunning and brave he is.
I bet he has a shelf full of 'participation trophies.
Quite substantially more currently.You'd think if his perceived treatment by Sandie was so bad he'd have his tit together with his times and places.
It's almost like he's an entitled man-baby and was expecting all and sundry to praise him for turning up.
This article claims that Sandie's go fund me raised twice the amount that whatshisface managed.

Trans doc crowdfunder raises £1500 'so she can treat herself to something nice'
Meanwhile, a separate crowdfunder for nurse Sandie Peggie – who has taken Dr Beth Upton and NHS Fife to an employment tribunal – has raised more than EIGHT TIMES as much!www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk
Exactly.It's almost like he's an entitled man-baby and was expecting all and sundry to praise him for turning up.
It'll be EVERYBODY ELSES fault, but his ( entitled) own....I think Upton needs a longer bus at the rate he's throwing colleagues/employer under
Totally, also thinking you're the smartest person in the room is always going to end in tears.Exactly.
(It is a completely different case, in every way obviously, but it reminds me a little of the Wagatha Christie case as it became known, where Rebekah Vardy obviously didn't think any further than having her day in court, showing off her outfits, as opposed to actually having to back up her accusations with evidence.)
