    When I was at AE Turbines they had women cleaning the mens toilets, with just a Yellow cone at both entries to the toilet saying cleaning was in progress no big deal.

    Where does that happen that didn't happen 10 years?

    What this thread shows is how there are certain people who will make everything about transgender people even though the subject of this thread has nothing to do with them. They are the target of hate just like gay people were and black people before that.

    In France a lot of motorway service station bogs are unisex... Thought I'd walked into the wrong ones at first

    Strange having a piss while a woman is washing her hands

    I remember going to an opening night at a new bar in Manchester around 2005 and they had unisex toilets then. One big hand washing area with a load of cubicles off from it. The sink was circular with the cubicles off for about three quarters of the circle with an open doorway back into the main part of the club.

    You will never eradicate the so called problem of racism because the narrative won't allow it. You could make the world a place of fluffy clouds and fresh flowers and they'd still find offence.

    I love how "white people" are so easily grouped into a generic term despite it describing thousands of different nationalities, religions and cultures.

    Long story short though, he's racist.

    Trying to defeat racism with racism. The mind boggles.

    I was attending the latest round of our 'Diverse and Inclusive Leadership coaching' yesterday at work. The odd snippet of useful info was there that gave pause for thought, but most of it was just drivel. I asked 2 questions in particular of the coach:

    1. 'When we talk about having a diversity of people in our teams, are we to assume that people of different genders, race and sexuality think differently? If that's the case, do you have an example of why I should assume a woman would think differently to me?

    2. I've been raised to see things like skin colour as irrelevant? How we do reconcile that view, with an ever increasing emphasis on such characteristics.

    Completely baffled the coach, who just mumbled incoherently before having to excuse themselves for a break.

    They're no experts in anything, simply brainwashed by being taught idealogies and narratives which they then mistakenly believe are right. The fact Netflix is pushing this bullshit is very worrying. Yet despite all the algorithms at play on social media, you tube and the like this sort of rubbish never gets flagged up. Yet the stuff that does paints a picture of how the likes of Google (who also own Facebook) are manipulating this whole narrative. No wonder nearly all of this sick twisted shite starts in America, a country that has the brass neck to preach to the rest of the world. They're the biggest problem.

    It was well hidden at first but folk are seeing the light. The silent majority have had enough.
