UK University of Bristol says don't worry about gender of people in restrooms

[GFR7]

I can see what they're trying to do.
But at the same time, this is most unseemly.
Most unseemly.
And just how many transgender people are there, anyway, that
this is deemed necessary?

Gender neutral toilets
The Students’ Union currently has active policy on getting the university to provide gender neutral toilets in each faculty. Most faculties are spread between various buildings, and unfortunately some of those will not be able to host gender neutral toilets. Below is a list of locations where there are gender neutral toilets. If you have any more to add please get in touch at: ubu-justask@bristol.ac.uk

Policy on gender neutral toilets: https://www.ubu.org.uk/pageassets/about/democracy/policy/GNT-SU-motion-11.12.12-for-website.pdf

NEWS: Currently the university is costing up the option of having two gender-neutral toilets installed in the Arts and Social Sciences Library.

If you have any questions about the progress on this motion or access concerns please get in touch with your LGBT+ Officer at: lgbt.officer@bristol.ac.uk

Rest rape rooms. Inevitable.

Rest rape rooms. Inevitable.

You are right on target.

They are instructing college students (females) not to flip out if someone of the wrong gender (a man)
is in the restroom. PERFECT set up for voyeurs, rapists and/or pedophiles.

Brilliant. Juuuust brilliant. lain:

How many women will feel uncomfortable with a guy dressed in a dress using the stall right next to them?

 

[musterion]

How many women will feel comfortable with a guy dressed in a dress using the stall right nest to them?

Only one way to find out.

Granite, what are you doing this weekend?

Oh, for Pete's sake.

From your link:

This motion concerns increasing the availability of GNTs and not the conversion of every toilet into a GNT; Gendered toilets should still exist.

So next time you're at the University of Bristol, dry your tears, pass the GNT and choose the gendered toilet of your choice.

They'd have chosen to use the gender-neutral bathroom in the first place, so I doubt anyone will be flipping out except you and Musterion.

When the first gender-neutral toilet rape is reported - and it will be - we will bring it to your attention but you won't care because you're a leftist.

What, you haven't noticed all the other rapes that haven't happened in gender neutral bathrooms? Where have you been?

Why haven't you been talking about the places women are really threatened? How many thousands of rapes will it take?

I'd say "you won't care because you're a man" but I won't broadbrush all men (or lie) the way you just did.

 

[musterion]

How long have you been in favor of increasing the likelihood of rape?

 

[annabenedetti]

When are you going to stop beating your wife?

And BTW, your deflection is noted.

 

[musterion]

I do not beat my wife. Never have.

You are in favor of increasing the odds of rape.

Why is that?

 

[annabenedetti]

I do not beat my wife. Never have.

You are in favor of increasing the odds of rape.

Why is that?

You're a walking, talking joke.

You have no basis to talk to any woman about rape. None whatsoever.

How dare you introduce facts into a righteous paranoid rant?

 

[musterion]

Don't play the woman card, it's only valid at participating TOLs and this isn't one of them.

I have all the room in the world to talk to anyone about the odds of rape increasing when males and females are allowed unrestricted access to the same toilets. I also have all the room in the world to point out that you are an idiot for denying that fact for purely craven, liberal pro-sodomy reasons, showing you have no real concern for what WILL happen.

:AMR1: They may yet try to make them all gender-neutral.

Why wouldn't the woman just not use the gender neutral bathroom? If she chooses that one, it's kinda her fault too.

Don't be a jerk, there are enough of them here already.

No. No you don't.

You can, however, talk about all the rapes and the attempted rapes that happen everywhere else. How long will it take you to blame the victim, I wonder?

Those restrooms are clearly marked and don't have to be used by anyone who doesn't want to use them. You've blown past that fact entirely.

That's not an effective way to salvage your latest Chicken Little thread.

Not a bad point, but they won't stop at just a few. The goal will be to make ALL bathrooms GN in the name of equality, enlightenment. Wait and see, it'll be sooner rather than later. And when it does, the liberals and queers here will pretend this discussion never happened, as they will do when some guy in drag rapes a woman in a "safe" GN latrine.
