No Conflict, They SAid

In Australia and around the world, legislation is being introduced that replaces sex with gender identity. Advocates insist that there is no conflict of interests. But governments are not collecting data on the impacts of this legislative change. We're worried about the impacts on women of men using women-only spaces, including but not limited to: changing rooms, fitting rooms, bathrooms, shelters, rape and domestic violence refuges, gyms, spas, sports, schools, accommodations, hospital wards, shortlists, prizes, quotas, political groups, prisons, clubs, events, festivals, dating apps, and language. If we can't collect data, we can at least collect stories. Please tell us how your use of women-only spaces has been impacted. All stories will be published anonymously. If you know of other women who have been impacted, please encourage them to tell their stories too.

This site is run from Melbourne, Australia by members of the LGB Alliance Australia.

I had to wander round trying to find somebody to ask where the women's toilets were, only to be told I could use the gender neutral ones or walk up a flight of stairs to th

autistic daughter encounters a man in the cinema bathroom

My daughter is a young teen on the autistic spectrum. She walked into the public toilets at our local cinema (back when everything was open) and found herself in the presence of a man dressed as a women washing his hands. She was alone in there. She ran out scared, decrying that there was a man in the toilet, and that she would absolutely not go back in until he was gone. I was a bit shocked so I went in to check what was going on. There was indeed a man in there - he h

cinema bathrooms

Everyman Cinema has unisex toilets. On the face of it they’re good, floor to ceiling cubicles with sinks and sanitary bins in each. However they’re at the end of a long dark corridor, away from the main area, and play loud music in there (I guess for privacy). All I could think of was the tag line “In space no one can hear you scream”. #unitedkingdom #cinema #bathrooms #unisextoilets
