As always, it's time to fire the 'Chase Strangio' in your organisation
You may remember this meme by the extremely talented and mysterious ‘W’.
Well, the Strangios of the UK had a bad day.
So how many organisations listened to their Strangios and spent money on unisex toilets only to find they now have to spend MORE money changing them back? What a shock that single-sex provisions are important for the safety and privacy of women and children!
Recently I shared the weirdly reckless in-house document that libelled JK Rowling for a company called ‘That Lot’, which is partly run by my old friend, David Schneider. I’ll bet you anything they have unisex toilets.
I’m not saying you should actually fire your Strangio, David. He/she/they is probably a very nice, young person related to someone of whom you’re fond, but please, move them somewhere they can’t do any more damage, and then, as a bonus, you can stop being silly and take your pronouns out of your email signature.
The last few days have been a positive day for us in the U.K. - the toilets, the new head of the EHRC making VERY encouraging noises, the Mermaids misgendering comedy fuckup.....all rounded up with a fantastic episode of The Mess.
Seriously you guys just make my week. I wish I had you on speed-dial.
It will become so stark staringly insane soon that companies will be changing the toilet facilities on a regular basis. Like in those old Ealing comedies where the workers have to keep changing the signs in the factory every ten minutes, eventually the workers get so mad they throw the sign down and go on strike. I wonder if when trans men in dresses will demand their own Pneumatic drill in pink when they are digging the roads up. Imagine that hahahahaha
