Jack Nicholls "As a trans Australian, I was kicked out of a UK toilet. This is not the open-hearted Britain I remember" {Waugh, Waugh, waugh}
The Guardian ^ | 15th June 2025 | Jack Nicholls

Posted on 06/14/2025 9:40:55 PM PDT by Cronos

It was my last night in London before returning to Australia. I was in full makeup and a dress when my female friends took me out dancing at an alternative hub that has always prided itself on being an accepting place. We danced and drank and shouted incoherent enthusiasms to each other. But as the gin and tonics settled in my bladder, I felt my anxiety building. In 15 years of visiting Britain I have been presenting feminine in public without any problem, including using women’s bathrooms.

But now I needed to piss, and I was afraid.

...And there she was. The literal toilet police. She was a stocky woman marking each visitor as they approached the door and, as we passed, she raised a finger of doom and pointed it at me. “NO,” she commanded, then rotated the finger towards the masculine pictogram. “You go there.”

...My friends came to the rescue, telling the guard to back off and escorting me into the women’s, which was crowded with people. Gaze fixed downwards to hide my humiliation, I pushed into a cubicle and peed. My head was ringing, there were raised voices outside, then the rap at the door.

...“OUT!”

There was commotion, complete strangers were clamouring, I think, in my defence. The toilet policewoman ignored it all. I was obviously leaving anyway; there was nothing to be gained now but my humiliation.

I can’t remember if I was given a chance to wash my hands.

For a minute afterwards I stood crying against the wall. Then the toilet policewoman returned and took up position in front of me. She looked a little ashamed, and she touched a now-gentler hand to my arm.

“It’s not me,” she said. “It’s just the way things are now.”

This article wants the reader to sympathise, but on reading it I only thought "What a self righteous, idiotic pr!@k" and felt absolutely the opposite of sympathy

You’re mentally ill. Get help. And I don’t mean surgical/hormonal help.

How many young girls or young boys were there?

If there were any, you are lucky to just be removed.

"I stood crying against the wall"

And instead of seeking psychological help you seek someone else to blame. That's your problem.

And there she was. The literal toilet police.

No need to defund them.

He set himself up for the spotlight, having played ‘Let’s Pretend!’ for so long, he thought the game would never end.

I don’t know what changed it all, but I think the moment for America being ‘Peak Trans’, with the majority of court decisions going their way, has already been passed.
Maybe it was that ‘Bud Light’ moment that really rocked their world. The majority finally said “enough of this!”.

Yes, they do prefer some sort of separation from the Trans.
The loudest Trans have reawakened the fears and presumptions of the general public, that their children are being targeted for indoctrination through the schools. Schools keeping gender secrets only adds to the suspicion.

I will keep saying this until the heat death of the universe - your desire to play dress up does not require me to play make believe! Now fuck off fairies.

“Presenting feminine?”

The guy has lipstick and a five o’clock shadow.

They say that these freaks often commit suicide. That is very thoughtful of them.
Short of that, they should be permanently institutionalized.

Sounds like a simple case of public intoxication of a crying drunk to me.
