What I’ve learned from the Darlington Nurses and Sandie Peggie cases:
Women:
“I don’t feel comfortable sharing changing rooms with men"
The NHS:
“YOU’RE A BIGOT AND A RACIST"
Men who pretend to be women:
“I don’t feel comfortable sharing changing rooms with other men"
The NHS:
“We respect and value you, please have the women’s changing rooms so that you feel comfortable”
A lot of newspapers are showing photos of Dr Upton and Nurse Peggie side by side.
It is worth remembering that Upton is 6ft tall and Peggie is 5 ft 6. This is what that looks like to scale.
Those people who still say 'Why do you care so much, it doesn't affect you, it's only a tiny number...' should take note of the effect of just one trans-identified man on the whole staff of a Fife hospital, who all have to make themselves stupid just to work alongside him.
So England bans Scotland from having DRS but lets Wales go ahead. Then announces DRS for England & NI. Leaving Scotland only nation in UK without one. FFS, people. How much longer are you going to accept this constant undermining of our interests by London?
