"Middle-aged white men should be doing the heavy lifting on this issue as much as anyone else. "

But that is precisely who's doing the heavy lifting, if by "heavy lifting" she means "wearing a skirt and wanking in women's toilets," as seen in that video only two posts up from her own.

However, as Van Badham is a Guardian columnist I wouldn't expect her to give two shits about the safety of women in toilets accessible by dangerous men in skirts. She's also the author of a book about QAnon, so presumably she's thought a little bit about what happens when people slavishly champion an idea that has no bearing in material reality, but only a little bit.

What level of criminality would Van Badham accept in trying to make this policy work? How many videos of men masturbating in women's toilets is she OK with? How many cases of indecent exposure (or even assault) would she consider "too many" before she'd begin to question if "middle-aged white men" not doing "the heavy lifting" is really the most important issue here? How many imprisoned women have to live in fear of violent male sex offenders before she'd start to care? Because clearly she has no problem with the current level.

Well done that fantastic student for sticking to the point politely despite the captured lecturer’s aggressive gesturing to try and shut you down. You were brilliant, thank you from all normal people

So much to unpack and react to here that I can't address it all. M&S will be getting an email from me though stating that their changing rooms are not inclusive - they exclude women who believe in reality, rape and sexual abuse victims, domestic abuse victims, many Jewish and Muslim women so quite a chunk of the people their single sex changing rooms are supposed to serve. Perhaps I will attach a link to that video showing all those perverts feeling themselves up and masterbating in women's single sex spaces and ask them to check out what happened at Primark too.

That skirtgoflippy video is not easy watching. I thought I was hardened to all this but seeing all of that stuff - one story after another - made me angry and quite tearful becaause it is still hard to believe how society is so willing to throw women and children under the bus to appease the feelings of men. That narcissist saying she doesn't feel safe because of a lanyard?!! Try not feeling safe because GC women are threatened with rape, punching and death and those men are in your spaces and your work place is actively encouraging this crap. I'm livid now - I'd best go and walk it off.

I have a bra fitting appointment at M & S next week. I shall check out the changing facilities and talk to the staff. Will write to the CEO copying in Lady Nicholson.Will report back. Excellent article on M & S by Debbie Hayman in the Spectator. Graham could you link it to your substack?

Also re Just_Abigail's nonsensical equating of GC people with the Ku Klux Klan - maybe the comparison might carry some weight if there was evidence of a single trans person being lynched 🙄

Re Just_Abigail - it never occurs to these people that a woman might likewise feel threatened by someone wearing the "progress" Pride colours. The difference being that the woman would feel afraid for very good reason, as we all sadly know now from the ever-growing mountain of evidence.

But of course women aren't allowed to say this either, because women don't matter in this new world order (unless they're men).

The India Willoughby bit made me laugh. Talk about unrestrained egotism. Yes India, I'm quite sure the legendary world famous tennis champion Martina Navratilova stays up all night worrying about the angry narcissistic ex-Channel 5 newsreader 😂

I haven't shopped in M&S for several years ,after finding out how woke they are. Stopped donating to some charities for the same reason ,and donate instead to LGBA ,although I'm not gay. They deserve our support.❤️

"shredded by all moral people"!!!

(morals-standards of behaviour; principles of right and wrong)

Your perception of right or wrong runs counter to mine and many others.

Van Badham - another on the list of women who really should know better - she's supposed to be a FEMINIST! I hope someone shows her tweets like that one in ten years' time and she hangs her head in shame. We come to expect it from porn-addled AGP blokes, but coming from prominent women it feels all the more depressing. Does she really have that much contempt for her own sex? Does she have the slightest awareness of how totalitarian a sentence like "by all moral people at all times" sounds?

Funny how people who largely preach moral relativism are happy to fall back on 'moral' as a power word when it suits them.

I think all trans-identified people need remedial English and history. Why would anyone feel unsafe because of suffragette colors? Comparing women gaining the right to vote to lynching? Openly and proudly insane, and incapable of proper spelling.

Please, if you're able to, please support EDIJester. He's super incisive and smart and FUNNY. One of the good ones for sure, right up there with Graham.

Re. The ‘trans activist’ berating Stephen Knight — ’’Your commitment to an ideology seems greater than your knowledge of nuanced science’.

The ‘woke’ hijacking of gender critical language and argument is rife now. So they are paying attention. But having the truth constantly in their faces seems only to make them further entrench themselves in the cult. ’Gender’ ideology apologists are reaching peak projection. By now, their cognitive dissonance must almost be at the head-exploding stage.

If the world could watch Skirt Go Spinny's 'What is a Woman: Wrong Answers Only' video, even just the preview, the 'gender' cult would be dead in the water.

Doing some googling on the issue of mixed changing rooms, I was shocked that the words 'changing rooms + voyeurism' brought up loads of porn sites where the results of hidden cameras can be viewed not only by the pervert who placed the camera, but 1,000s of others.
