viewpoint diversity in the women's room

In our regional city there is a space called the women's room and a group of women that use it. I was ostracized from the group and space when I suggested that we accept all women, even if they did not agree with trans ideology, or other feminist dogma. I am a feminist who thinks we should support all women and merely wanted to discuss this.

I no longer receive emails about events and I was silenced.... I am now too intimidated to share my views. The space closed down through lack of use, And no trans woman ever came to a meeting or event. The main objections (via email) came from a local university women's collective.... who never attended a meeting or event, and did not have any trans members! They said that we were not allowed to use the word uterus when preparing a pro-abortion action (red knitted uteruses :-) for local politicians. Sooo ridiculous and exclusionary.

scarborough beach gender-neutral toilets

At Scarborough Beach in WA there is a long row of gender neutral toilets inside separate cubicles. They aren't sex/gender segregated. I understand this is part of a move to introduce gender neutral facilities to public spaces so as not to offend some people. The problem is that there are no urinals and the toilets are usually covered in urine. They have that stench that only seems to come from men's loos. The local council who got these installed seem to have forgotten that men stand up to wee and women sit down to wee. Many men don't care where their urine lands.

Women are having to sit in men's urine to use these toilets. Naturally, this means men are more comfortable using these toilets than women are, and we are the ones again inconvenienced by the new gender ideology. There are sex-segregated toilets further away from the main strip but it would be too far to walk with children etc. I visit Scarborough often and fear taking my young daughter into the toilets because they are often covered in urine on the seat and floor. Foul and dirty, but young children don't know not to touch everything they see. I rarely see women's only toilets in this state.

It would be much better if the loos were sex segregated.

lesbian nightclub

I went to a lesbian night club in Soho with my date (a woman). It felt really good to be able to be ourselves and not feel self conscious about expressing our sexuality and affection for one another. Occasionally, my date and I would kiss but I noticed that every time we kissed a transwoman was staring at us. “She” wasn’t talking to or interacting with anyone. “She” was just sitting alone in the middle of floor while we (women) were dancing and making out. I stopped kissing because I could see the transwoman was getting off watching us and it felt voyeuristic. Most of all “her” gaze resembled the seedy look men give women. I felt a combination of anger and other indescribable feelings including a sense of powerlessness. This was meant to be a safe space and it would have been if the creepy transwoman hadn’t been there. We shouldn’t be made to feel uncomfortable in our own spaces.
