I don't think men will be complaining if this catches on.

The possible rise in back injuries is a concern though.

As is already the case at your local swimming pool. You do get that there’s a difference between a transgender girl – with all the paperwork, therapeutic work and experience of living as a girl that entails – and someone waking up one morning and deciding to be female for fifteen minutes, right?

This is an insidious scare campaign that reflects far more on the prurience (and perhaps, in some cases, sexual fantasies) of those who raise it than anything that actually happens when transgender people use a bathroom or changeroom.

Apparently its not that hard to change gender, just a few forms.
and set to get easier;

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/07/22/changing-gender-set-become-easier-demeaning-medical-checks-reviewed/

what a lot of these campaigners want is to remove medical review and supervision;

however; just scream transphobia and you win the argument, its so simple Smile , it will work until it doesn't

^ Again, not something that people would do lightly. And we're mostly talking about children here anyway (I'm not sure what the involvement of 18-25 year olds is in the Girl Guides, but I'm guessing they're mostly staff?). This focus on showers and toilets – with all the media and public fantasies about male-born trans girls being little more than characters from Porky's; or about there being an army of horny young men waiting in line to spend their days filling out forms and dressing/presenting as women, with all the associated stigma, just to be able to shower with girls – really trivialises the experience of being transgender and the challenges that entails, I think. And yes, I think there's a bit of Freudian projection going on there, too.

Please note that I haven't, actually, screamed 'transphobia' at you. I just think you're greatly overblowing the likelihood of harm and not focusing on why policies like these are actually important and beneficial.

The danger here is that increasingly that medical professionals are being sidelined by the 'activists' and some medical practitioners in the field have serious doubts about preforming surgery on young children.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/world/97443298/more-transgender-people-asking-for-reversal-surgery

an academic was blocked from writing his thesis on the subject

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2017/sep/25/bath-spa-university-transgender-gender-reassignment-reversal-research


what we seem have right now is people like Roz Ward, a Marxist activist attempting to pervert public policy for their political aims.

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/safe-schools-program-to-be-overhauled-and-founder-roz-ward-removed-20161216-gtctgs.html

Rights activists should not be taking over from medical professionals.


That said; the whole issue is becoming a joke;

This musical number, from the US show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, which I’ve never seen – pretty edgy, particularly in the current climate!

Laughing gotta pay that (I don’t think I will ever feel comfortable with – nor be accepted by the proponents of – any such orthodoxy, though).

Yeah, pay it too. I think David knows that I rate his intellect very highly, and that I thought it was probably a more curious and open-minded instrument when he was about 18, rather than the crusty old age he is now... There are people whose opinions on virtually any issue can be reliably predicted once you know their opinion on any one issue. I don't think he's anywhere near that stage of terminal decline yet, fortunately !
