I have my doubts that the trans activists/lobbyists will be enormously moved by the court ruling, and expect they will continue to attack and cancel anyone that attempts to counter their views.

And they're wrong. Working in the cleaning industry, I can confirm that women's toilets are far, far worse to clean than mens.

already seen 'boycott anything Harry Potter' on SM.

on the subject of toilets, im sure women will be ever so more vigilant on who enters a female toilet or changing room after this ruling .
could lead to confrontation !
people being challenged , as mentioned we could see an increase in mixed toilets and changing rooms,although many establishments just dont have the room.
interesting times ahead.

Thing is there are if you want to call them trans women who have fully transitioned and been on that journey since young who fully pass (looking wise) as a woman, no one would batter an eye lid or most likely care or know if they were in a woman's toilet.

But that isn't the same as "Dave" who is six foot in his forties and suddenly identifies as a woman still with tackle in place sticking on a dress and wig whilst rocking up in a woman's toilet.

I think the issues are both sets of people (appreciate I have stereotyped for examples) are put in the same box in all this when are miles part in terms of general perception but not in terms of rights/law and being labelled.

As expected
The Met Police is appealing for information after several statues in Parliament Square, including one of women's votes campaigner Dame Millicent Fawcett, were vandalised during a protest on Saturday.

Transgender campaigners gathered in front of Parliament to protest against the ruling by the Supreme Court on Wednesday that biological sex defines a woman for the purposes of the Equality Act.

The Metropolitan Police said seven statues were damaged and they are investigating the incidents as criminal damage. No arrests have been made.

As someone who ran pubs, clubs & hotels for 20+ years, I can back this up also.

Space & cost.

The Trans community only a tiny % of the population at present & it wouldn't make financial sense, especially for small businesses.

It is a simple solution but unless it's made a regulatory requirement most won't do it.

This.

Plus, in the real world it's nothing like the problem that's portrayed in the make believe world. It's lucky that people don't have to go online for a wee.

"Unisex" toilets are becoming more common in new builds now. Essentially they're an "all in one cubicle" that has the toilet and a handbasin and dryer in, so there's no communal area where the bloke his checking his bald spot next to the bird doing her lippy, so to speak.

The main allure is they seem to save space, not needing separate kharzis for males and females.

Architects call them "superloos" because of course they ****ing do.

^^ So basically the same as a handicapped bog?

Thinking about it, if a gaff already has handicapped bogs, why don't they just use that....?

They do where I work, although I did wonder when I saw a trans guy/woman coming out of the disabled loo what would happen if a disabled person complained.
