Jem Traylen is correct: the Human Rights Act (Letters, March 6) does give
transwomen permission to use the women’s toilet. But it seems to escape her
notice that the Act gives all women that permission, and on exactly the same
grounds. All women “have the right to access a toilet (they) feel safe
in”.
Many of those women for whom feeling safe in the loo could be called a
birthright - especially if they have daughters - would feel threatened by the presence of transwomen, and many will feel angry. Because they know some men will pretend to be trans so they can
use 'the ladies' '.
So unless schools, universities, employers and restaurants are forced into
the expense of providing three toilets – male, female and trans - it seems we face an impasse.
