Solving things that were never really problems whilst ignoring a heap of social injustice across the country? Yup, that sounds like the Tories.
Go on a plane, gender neutral toilets. On a train? Same thing. Most cafes like Pret or Nero have a single toilet that everyone uses without issue. What on earth are they solving here?
Nothing, of course. Just pandering to the hateful and doing their best to portray harmless people trying to peacefully live their lives as scary "others" who are inherently predatory 🤬
In addition to that, have you ever even heard of a trans person assaulting someone?
Well even if one did it won't be prevented by gender separation of toilets.
