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 interest. 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.

toilets: boys, and other

I went for Grandparents day at my grandkids' school. There were no girls toilets, just boys and unisex. I had the displeasure of having to clean all the urine off the seat before I could use it. Unisex means men and women all can use the same bathroom. Everyone knows how people with male genitalia have very poor aim, especially young boys (are we still allowed to call them boys?). There is no consideration in these instances. People with penises mostly stand to pee, women in every case sit while peeing. Why are we made to sit on stinky, stale urine-covered seats?

melbourne nightclub bathroom

a bouncer in melbourne kicked a man out of a women's toilet. this became "news". the nightclub made the bouncer apologise to the man. nowhere in the reporting is there any commentary about what it might have been like to be a woman using the women's nightclub bathroom, confronted to find a man in them, but relieved to see the nightclub staff take action to remove him. only to then read a news story the next day about how sorry the nightclub is to have taken action to protect women.

sexual bullying in unisex toilets

"We recently un-enrolled our daughter from a local private high school in the area due to bullying from a group of boys two years older than her. There were 8 boys involved who specifically targeted her as she refused to have sex with one of them in the unisex bathrooms. The school's response was to give these boys a warning not to do this again, even with screenshots showing they were not taking this seriously. These boys were barking at her as she walked by them in the school yard and detailing how she should leave the earth.


I am beyond thankful I have a daughter who uses me as a sounding board and divulges all of her worries with me. I have had her home with me licking her wounds until we can find another school


My message is for the mums whose babies may not feel comfortable giving them the complete rundown on every moment of their day. This school is allowing predatory behaviour with these disgusting boys to continue - if something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. It hurts my heart that another girl is potentially being targeted by these boys and she can't find her way out. Research Dolly's Law and speak frequently to your girls about it. It will never change if we don't push to make it change".
