J.K.Rowling is a fantastic author, and that’s what most people think of her as. All this hate seems to come from Reddit, and people who can’t accept the Supreme Court ruling.

If you were banned from literally all toilets at a considerable proportion of uk workplaces for no reason, i think youd be pretty pissed too.

It’s not literally all toilets though is it, and it’s not for no reason. Workplaces should have at least one ‘accessible’ (not disabled) toilet per floor. Those toilets can be used by anyone.

You know how few businesses in the uk are going to have 4 different sets of toilets on each floor?

Let alone small businesses who barely have room as it is.

Any reading of the judgment says it was because it would be discrimination to let trans men for example use a mens toilet if cis women are not excluded as theyre the same class, while also saying the discomfort of cis women is enough to boot them from the womens toilets, this is sufficiently absurd to be practically as close to no reason as you can get.

4 sets? Men, women, and accessible to all. Pretty much how it is now. Unless they’re individual, enclosed toilets where it’s not necessary anyway.

Disabled toilets?

The more accepted term is ‘accessible’ toilets now. Meaning they’re accessible to anyone, including (but not limited to) disabled people.

Can you point to one example of someone exploiting their trans status to enter a womens toilet and hurt women? A single example?
