An interim update from the EHRC, published in May, said that “trans women (biological men) should not be permitted to use the women’s facilities and trans men (biological women) should not be permitted to use the men’s facilities, as this will mean that they are no longer single-sex facilities”.

However, a response from Museums Galleries Scotland (MGS), which supports around 455 non-national museums and is funded by the Scottish Government, said EHRC’s proposals may “force some museums to close”, or “risk leaving trans people with no facilities at all” if changes could not be made.

I mean you could do separate lines or something for that— but at the same time maybe that just means you need more bathrooms if there is a significant line. Also maybe making a separate powder room would reduce the lines by directing those who want to do make up or something to a different place.

It's not make up that causes long lines. Please tell me you're being sarcastic and I've missed it.

I think their idea is a good idea for freeing up sink space, but as far as decreasing the line? That's not gonna happen.

For those unaware - those long lines you see outside the door? They extend into the bathroom. As soon as a stall opens up, the next person goes in. We're not waiting for sinks or mirrors.

This is the way. The shitter and the talking-shit areas should be separate.

[-] Simplicity@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

Missed opportunity for taking shit and talking shit.

Wait are you saying they´re taking up bathroom stalls to do their makeup??

No. This thread is just full of guys who don't understand how female anatomy works.
