Use of single-sex toilets, changing rooms and hospital wards in England, Scotland and Wales is now restricted according to a person’s birth sex, rather than the gender with which they identify.

Why are they so OBSESSED with public bathrooms?

$0.02: gender segregation of restrooms can be seen as an institution in support of a patriarchal class system. Likewise, breaking down the difference between the two (e.g. non-binary and transitioning folk) can be seen as a threat to said system.

TL;DR: It's sexism all the way down.
