Transgender Men always get fucked in this stupid bullshit. Would be very interested to know what the response from Virgin Active would be on the scenario of a bearded bloke with a vagina changing next to women. Or is that different somehow?

That’s going to go well when a bearded, muscled, boobless female-to-male transgender man walks into the women’s changing rooms.

Seems like they’re implementing a policy which best suits the needs of the majority of their customer base, whilst (per their quote below) implementing facilities to suit the needs of others too to make sure nobody is left out. Surely no issue here?
> The spokesperson added: “Most of our clubs already provide single-occupancy, non-gendered facilities that can be used by anyone, and we are working to make these available in all locations as quickly as possible.”

Are they going to hire JK Rowling to personally examine everyone’s bodies on arrival?

Virgin Active are going against the law trying to introduce guidance without law change
this is pure manipulation of the supreme court’s ruling has to stop.
No laws have changed in any way so blocking someone from using the changing room based on feelings and not law is going to create legal problems.
When the law changes make changes untill then don’t brake the law

What *is* the answer for single-sex areas, though? Or do we just have to transition to a world where everyone has their own private changing/shower area and male/female splits are a thing of the past?

I’m glad I’m not a masculine looking non-trans woman. Must be fun.

Just as well gym staff are all sane and reasonable people who never ever get odd on the tiny bit of power they have, otherwise you could easily manage scenarios where they start demanding to people junk.
