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.

This site is run from Australia, New Zealand members of the LGB Defence, AWW Inc. and supported by LGB Alliance.

This was 26 years ago, so before laws were changed. I was at a busy beach with my toddler nephew. I took him into the women's bathroom to change his diaper and there was a man wearing a pink blouse with the stall door open, masturbating. This same state, California, just passed a law allowing men to self-identify as women and be housed in women's prisons. California has also passed a law that carers who "mis-gender" repeatedly can go to jail. It's ironic (and very tragic) that the WOKE California politicians think that a woman should go to jail for correctly identifying a transgender's sex where she could then be raped by another transgender.

Took my girls, then aged 8 and 10, swimming in Hereford Pool; the changing rooms had been changed to unisex. While looking for a cubicle big enough for all three of us to change in I accidentally made eye contact with an old (white haired) man. I found the way he looked at us creepy and hurried the children into a cubicle. The changing cubicles had gaps (top and bottom) so I was anxious about camera phone voyeurism whilst we got changed. There is a poolside spectator area where the children asked their dad to sit so he could see how much their swimming had improved. At one point I waved to my husband to make sure he was watching. I found myself making eye contact with the same man who had unnerved me in the changing room - he was standing next to my husband staring at us. Maybe he was only looking at us because I had attracted his attention by waving? When we left the pool we went use the unisex communal shower. We kept our swimming costumes on, like everyone else. The same old man appeared again at the edge of the shower. I felt like he was staring at us. He didn't talk to any of the other people using the shower. He wasn't holding anything (towels, shampoo, etc) so I don't think he was there to assist anyone showering. His presence felt voyeuristic. I felt stripped of privacy and dignity, and worried about voyeurism, whilst using the unisex changing facilities, to the extent that we haven't swum at Hereford Pool since. We swim at Tenbury Wells Pool instead now, where there are 4 changing rooms: male, female, disabled (wheelchair accessible) and family (unisex).
