I don't know you or your day-to-day behavior. Nor if you have no problem passing as a woman, or if you look like a lumberjack with a beard. If you feel more comfortable in women's toilets, fine. but would you continue to, if those toilets were filled with masculine-looking men?

Right now the toilets are not filled with men, true. Give it some time. Separate spaces are being removed for uni-sex spaces because public places can't be bothered, and they no longer have to. Women are withdrawing, slowly, but still. In some places preferring to stand in long>

lines to enter single spaces, rather than uni-sex spaces. Words go out between friends about where to meet, that still provides what women themselves think have safe spaces, and other places are shunned. After covid and all the working from the safety of our homes, women might >>

decide to stay at home more. Which is not good. Teenage girls no longer hang around in malls, have you noticed? They are at home. The world is no longer a safe place for them, not because of toilets, but because of society, in general, is toxic. There's more at stake here.

I have not noticed because I also have not hung out at a mall in ages (long before COVID) as part of a general and much-remarked-upon decline in mall patronage as people do more shopping and socializing online

The idea that the major driving force here is *the existence of trans women* and what's why society seems so much more indoors these days is some wild, wild extrapolation I know it makes sense inside the TERF echo chamber but in the real world you sound like a huge asshole

I will also add that I have been in buildings with universal gender-neutral restrooms fairly rarely in the past but when I was (in theater and convention spaces) the crowd around me was generally dominated by cis women, sometimes absurdly so

Like I said: Give it a few years. Women have been very outgoing, keeping businesses going. Now they are withdrawing. I see it, not just because of Covid, but because many say they do not feel safe. Why do you think the whole "reclaim the streets"- thing happened? If women fail>>

In the fight over the gender neutral restrooms at the Old Vic one thing the TERF side consistently ignored is the director who oversaw the change was a cis woman, who chaired a committee of majority cis women, specifically in response to theater audiences being women-dominated

You have this well rehearsed narrative that equates the online TERF social media sphere with "women" that simply does not match up to the real world

Maybe it is not obvious to you yet. But it's becoming more clear elsewhere. A survey in Norway showed that many people like working from home and will try to keep doing so after Covid, at least a few times a week. Most of these are women. Women talk amongst themselves about >>

where they like to go to meet up. This has always happened. And women choose places they like. And now toilets are becoming an issue. It wasn't before. Then it was all about food. I'm just addressing what I see. Why I am concerned. You may disregard this, but what if I'm right?
