      . @jameskirkup is on the ball as ever. As he notes one of the barriers to discussion of this topic is decorum and good manners "If you’d asked to set out my limited journalistic ambitions, using the word ‘penis’ repeatedly in The Spectator would not have topped the list"https://twitter.com/jameskirkup/status/1204056806613536770 …

      Even writing a list of these things is undignified! They are not things you really want to be talking about willynilly with your broad social network And any unknown accounts that do want to strike up conversation may be enjoying it a bit too much 🙄https://twitter.com/MForstater/status/1204058740196040705 …

      There are lots of things that it is normal for women to do in female only spaces. Undress, be naked, moisturise legs, ask someone to do up the zip on a dress, comment on each others appearance, ask if anyone has a tampon, talk between toilet stalls to ask for paper etc

      And if you don't want talk about this body stuff (or about genitals) in public .... you definitely don't want to be sharing intimate confined spaces with colleagues, classmates & strangers of the opposite sex when doing them

      Which is why we have single sex spaces & services. So you don't have to. People who make guidelines and rules (@EHRC I'm looking at you) it is your responsibility to have these conversations, because it is unfair to expect teenage girls to negotiate these things with grown men

      Grown men like @eddieizzard who thinks it it is fine to go into a women's loo because he wants to change into a dress, and who views the teenage girls who are frightened as big meanies https://medium.com/@MichaelConroy68/my-first-day-out-by-eddie-izzard-c8ff9bcae245 … (h/t @MichealConraoi )

      Replying to @MForstater @gencritgreen and

      Yes. This brings back the experience of being sexually assaulted in a public toilet at that age, not daring to report it or tell anyone.

      I am sorry. I cannot understand how people can not see the problem with this, given all the experience, learning about why victims don't report, safeguarding case reviews etc...

          So very strange not to understand such fears are based on a common and real experience, with meaning for how we organise these public places for everyone who needs them.
