I couldn't help but wonder what sort of trans people these might be. After some deliberation I concluded that it must be women who present themselves as men, and identify as male (so feel it appropriate to use the men's toilets) but have not yet had the work done. I also presume that they're the sort of woman who might fail to make provision for their periods by way of sanitary materials, and depend on the government to do this for them. Then I couldn't help but wonder how many people who fit this description actually exist in the world, never mind the Scottish civil service.
The worlds gone nuts and they're welcome to it.
Have at it, but why we put these weirdo pencil pusher, clip board carrying freaks in charge of our society god only know's.
That's the thing. I think, as we've agreed before, it's woke do-gooders making these decisions. You have in most organisations now 'diversity boards' or similar. It's these people doing this shit.
We have posters up in our work advertising free tampons and yes, they're in the mens toilets as well.
When I see this type of stuff I always think that the business or company isn't always doing this for inclusivity but rather they are more afraid of the back lash and pressure they would receive if they didn't.
Yep. There's two reasons the bosses agree to abide with this nonsense. Firstly as you say they're worried about not being woke enough in this bonkers society we're now in, and secondly they're covering their arses against being sued for constructive dismissal by some oddball who didn't feel included enough.
I recall watching Monty Python's Meaning of Life, and there was a sketch where a woman had a baby and asked what if it was a boy or a girl. The doctor replied, "Don't you think it's a bit soon to be imposing roles?"
How we laughed in 1983. We're not laughing now. It'd be transphobic if we did, and we'd get cancelled.
