      Rightwing; guvment doing things is bad 

      Also right wing: we need the government to police women’s toilets from the threat of rogue trouser demons 

    2. The fact they’re trying to gotcha Labour with this really does show how they have absolutely nothing left in the tank.

      This rhetoric is going to cause vigilantes to not only attack trans people, but masculine looking CIS women.

      Can I see your genitals mate?

      You know, I’d love to see the toilet door sign that magically repels people if they’re visually the wrong gender.

    5. None, cos the Tories shut them all down at the expense of disabled people. Well done, Niccolo. Great choice of party.

    6. Who gives a flying fuck? Do they really think that if a man wants to rape someone, he can’t just go into the toilet?

      This old cunt is obsessed with woman’s toilets. But does he really expect the Govt to start policing every toilet in the land, have genital inspectors at every door?

      I’m on holiday in Canada at the mo and they seem to have got round it fairly easily in a lot of/most places (pubs/bars, music venues, restaurants etc) by getting rid of the urinals, and the very concept of “Mens” and “Womens” toilets, and simply having individual non-gendered cubicles. I know of some pubs and venues that already do this in the UK, but it does seem a simple, practical solution that deftly sidesteps the people trying to force their politics on where other people pee.

      Why are they so obsessed with genitalia? It’s so fucking weird. Get a normal hobby, like stamp collecting or bird watching. Leave trans people to shit in peace.

    10. Well, at least we are getting all the really important questions out there. Never mind, the economy, infrastructure, insane cost of housing and food. The homelessness, knife crime, shop lifting. You know, all that inconsequential bullshit. Ferrari is asking the REAL question, where should people be allowed to pee?

    11. Unless you’re going to have guards standing outside each public toilet who have authorization to check ID, Birth Certificate, and for potential Gender Recognition Certificates… I think people will just use whichever one they think they’ll get the least harassed in.

      edit: grammar/spelling

    12. > Shadow education secretary Bridget Phillipson refused to say if a “trans woman with a penis” should be able to use the lady’s toilets when pressed multiple times by Nick Ferrari.

      With transwomen, can their penis still function? Isn’t it just only for wee wee? If they looked like women, behaves like women, maybe haven’t fully took the leap, I’d say they are women, not?

      How about we have a trans woman on to talk about how this constant rhetoric is humiliating and dehumanising. That might be fun!

    14. Labour needs to send out a memo to respond to this question with “just fuck off, Nick. You tried to get everyone back into the workplace a week before COVID infections spiked – and this was before we had vaccines. Your opinions would literally have killed tens of thousands of people if people acted on them.”

    15. Nick Ferrari and the other raging TERFS want to stand outside toilets and ask bairns to take down their keks to inspect what genitals they have before allowing them to enter. It is so odd. Why do these angry bigots want to inspect genitals anyway?

    16. Is it me or is Nick Ferrari obsessed with women with penii?

      Does he have a bit of a thing going on here, a-la Alan Partridge, that we and LBC are enabling?

    17. Recently a Transgender girl who was forced to use the boys bathroom in an American school was severely beaten for using it by a load of boys.

      Trans women cannot win.

      Here is the thing. If someone is presenting as female ket them use the woman’s bathroom. They are not going to be dressing up that way just to get in there as a Cus man and perv. Yes people can point to isolated cases but they are incredibly rare.

      The vast majority are Trans women who just want to go about their business without fuss.

      A Trans woman going into a male bathroom draws far more attention and is far more likely to be attacked. Same for a Trans man using a woman’s bathroom.

      If a Cis man wants to attack a woman in a woman’s bathroom he will just do it and not go to some elaborate charade dressing up as a woman to do so.
