The Real Threat?

I've had what might be called the opposite problem.

In the summer someone called security on me in Coventry city centre public loos. The complaint was that a woman had gone into the gents. I told the security guard who came in to tell me off that I was flattered and he looked a bit embarrassed. :-)

I imagine that since the UK Supreme Court ruling on the equality act (is that the right name?) many people think that it is illegal and criminal to enter the 'wrong' loo. Regardless of the actual law I wouldn't dare use the ladies in the UK now for fear of exactly the sort of action you mentioned.

However I feel that I must say that apart from that trivial incident and a few insults shouted at me from a safe distance I have had no problems in the UK or in the countries I pass through on the way to the UK from Norway. In fact many women and men have complimented me on my clothes or jewellery.

You are right that this vigilante-like behaviour is getting out of hand and that it seems to be cis women who are suffering most. There was an article on the subject in The Guardian:

It makes a change from ‘you can’t bring your dog in here kid’. I’m 22, 4 10 with a service dog.

The world is doing a great job of turning people against women and disabled people. I'm actually getting to the point where I fear for the safety of some of the most vulnerable people in society.

Before long, we will be hanging out in clans again and protecting our own from rival clans.

Several states in the USA created laws regarding transgender bathroom. Red states went nuts. to "protect" biological women from imaginary rape and harassment.

In real life, a report says 68% of trans women have been verbally assaulted, and 9% physically assaulted.

Several US Congresswomen, including Lauren Boebert said they will not allow a transgender congress woman to use the Congressional women bathoooms.

Lauren Boebert prefers instead to give a date a hand job, during a children-themed theater performance, as security cams recorded the action.

When an obvious man in bad drag goes into a women's restroom, I will call the police instead.
