Mass trespass by self-identifiers?

[stockhausen]

About 90 years ago, a mass trespass on Kinder Scout in the Peak District led (eventually) to a change in the law - I wonder how long it will be before a large group of women will self-identify as men and "trespass" on a Gents' toilet to avoid the queues outside the Ladies' toilet?

Didn't some already do this... at their local garden centre or some small nature reserve's visitor centre?

Why not just make all toilets gender neutral and stop worrying over such trivial things?

because someone's still going to be offended by the notion of men being in the same bathroom as women, because we're all sex hungry rapists of course.

They already do it with men's swimming sessions:

Though strangely enough they went for Dulwich rather than somewhere like Luton where they might well be told to GTFO....

I imagine some parents wouldn't be happy about their children (daughters...) sharing toilets with grown men. Doesn't mean that ALL men are pedophiles but I think the worry would still be there.

Actually I often see women going into the mens' toilet at concerts - nobody (on either side) seems vaguely uncomfortable - except when it comes to queuing to dry their hands on the solitary working gentle breeze hand dryer

This. Build more cubicles. Stop being offended. Get on with life.

Imagine a female pedofile in a female toilet. Omg. Or a lesbian. Or a trans Man. Oh Jesus save us.

Doesn't negate what people/parents might worry about though. Whether justified or not, I think most parents would be more concerned about men than women.

Been happening since I was old enough to go to nightclubs.

 

[something daft already!!]

I self identify as the colour ultra violet. I'm outraged there are not toilets made for light

that was my point, albeit dressed up to disguise itself as a daily mail comment.

What are the grown men doing in the cubicles alongside female children?

Funny one at work the other night - I had to drop in late and one of our other staff probably thought they had the building to themselves and as I walked up the corridor he came out of the ladies toilets and then went bright red seeing me - all I could think of was this bit from Deus Ex

Why not simply refuse to pander to a small minority of Trans activists and SJWs and keep the perfectly fine system we have?

You say that... but I've seen several places where the toilets have UV lights. Something to do with heroin users not being able to find a vein, so cannot go shoot up in the loo... and presumably also lacking the comon sense to use their smartphone torch mode?
I remember it was quite sickening having nothing but UV to see by, for more than 20 seconds.

But yeah, definitely places where you would be covered!!

Problem is while that sort of lighting might drive away junkies it apparently encourages young couples who need somewhere to hook up.

Wasn’t it some manky ‘natural pool’ or something?

That's because most of them are drunk and/or high and don't know wtf they are doing
