Trans in women's toilets

[KingCanny]

Basically should anybody trans be allowed in women's toilets?I ask because I kicked off last year at a gig. I say kicked off but basically I asked a trans why he's using the toilet as my missus. He obviously got a total attitude said its not my business. Is it not my business to ask why a man in a dress is following my missus to a womans toilet?

I wouldn't be happy seeing any Trans using women's toilets. The whole gender situation has gone absolutely nuts.
Too much diversity IMO.

Go to any large event and women will use the gents with a "its ok lads not looking" and yet a man using womens toilet would be arrested.

Semi-related, but there was a Skatepark I used to go to back in the early 2010s here that didn't have male or female toilets - it was just a neutral space with about 8 cubicles and no male wall urinals.

Never had a problem. Everyone was there to piss, shit or wash their hands of any grime/blood they'd accumulated from their session, irrespective of what was between their legs.

The "weirdest" encounter, if you could call it that, was coming out of a cubicle having had a piss to there being 5 lasses taking a group selfie in the mirror. They clearly hadn't realised I was there, they looked a bit sheepish (mixed gender bathrooms not a common experience for most here in NI) and I broke the tension my shouting "selfies biiiiiiitch" in a somewhat camp voice.

The 5 of them burst out laughing and I went back into the main Skatepark and they presumably went back to taking selfies. Everyone was fine. I do think mixed bathrooms might solve an issue, but Skatepark-attending folk tend to be pretty alt/chill/open anyway as a.....for want of a better word...."genre" of people, so perhaps that would fly in that space in a way that it wouldn't elsewhere.

As for trans folk, there's a few of them in the ecology community locally which is generally a very, shall we say, "inclusive" space - there's a person who goes by "Rob" who will use the male bathroom. Female-to-male transition person. I never got the impression that "Rob" wanted to do anything in the bathroom other than pee or poo and I imagine this is the case for 99% of trans folks.

If I had a choice of sharing a bathroom space with some trans people or sharing it with some of the largely white, largely male, largely heterosexual hooded shit-rags that have been tearing Northern Ireland apart in recent weeks I'd probably choose the trans folks - despite being a white, male, heterosexual lad myself.
