Would You Be Happy ? M&s Changing Room Policy

[Bobbisox1]

Sharing a dressing room with the opposite sex?
Again is this a case of ‘ pandering to the minority’ ?

I guess those you aren't fussed will continue to buy clothes from M&S, those that don't will shop for clothes elsewhere. M&S can then check the results at the end of the financial year.

spath, yes, the people who object are the ones with the problem ... a problem created by those who are happy to tell the majority to 'get over it', but unwilling to give the same advice to the small minority of wave-makers.

Ken as left Barbie, he said he's not been comfortable for some time now. :0)

With lockable cubicles, I wouldn't be bothered. With communal rooms, I would.
You are totally wrong, spath... it is not "transphobic". I would be perfectly happy to share space with a woman dressed as a man... so it isn't about "trans" people. I would not be comfortable sharing with a man, though. That may be sexist, but life is, and sonis reality.

Naomi, at the end of the day, companies and people are becoming more accepting to LGBTQ and people, like yourself who find such objection to such small issues like communal changing rooms and toilets (you've obvs never been to a gay bar) are the ones who are stopping society from evolving to be able to just accept people for who and what they are.

"You are totally wrong, spath.."

No i'm not.

There we go.

Homosexuality is no comparison. That is insulting.

[spathiphyllum]

As I said.. Discussing trans issues with people who are clearly trans phobic is futile, so I won't do it.

[SparklyKid]

It is time the world got to grips with the situation that there are only men and women.

[pixie374]

You didn't read the rest of my post, clearly.

[spathiphyllum]

Yes I did. It's trans phobic, you wouldn't realise, because you can't even process the concept of trans rights, because you're trans phobic.

[Bobbisox1]

I’ve been to plenty of Gay bars Spath in Newcastle’s Pink Triangle , the toilets facilities are that of men and women,
Tell me, do you ever concede at times you are wrong?

[237SJ]

Do communal cubicles still exist? I thought they went out with the Ark. I haven't been in one for at least 15 years.

[pixie374]

Wrong again, spath. It is lovely that you are able to see everything in such a shallow and simplistic way... but some of us live in the real world.

[pixie374]

There are at our local swimming pools, 237 x

[pixie374]

Not cubicles as such- although there are a few. It's basically a big room.

[spathiphyllum]

"ell me, do you ever concede at times you are wrong?"

Just because you've been to a gay bar with individual toilets for each gender, doesn't make me wrong. But yes, I do actually... It just rarely happens because I debate on opinions on facts, not on facts. Facts are facts. You can't really have a wrong opinion.

Going on the average age of a M&S shopper, I would say its a bad move.
