So the U.K. Government is at it again with trans rights and here is how cis people can help 🏳️‍⚧️ If you haven’t seen (which would not be surprising) the government have very quietly started a consultancy on removing gender neutral toilets. (1/5) https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/toilet-provision-for-men-and-women-call-for-evidence/toilet-provision-for-men-and-women-call-for-evidence
This is terrible as it looks like a step in the direction of outright banning gender neutral bathrooms and towards policing of who can use certain gendered bathrooms. (2/5)
This isn’t bad just for trans people either but also for butch/ masc women, other marginalised genders and black women (because of racist presumptions of what femininity looks like). So what can we do? Well (3/5)
There is an email at the bottom of the consultancy asking for people’s opinion. This government has already ignored the voices of trans people once so we need our cis allies to speak up and help dispel the idea that trans people are “a threat” to people in bathrooms. (4/5)
Also credit to biogal__ on Instagram for spotting this. (5/5)
