Would You Be Happy ? M&s Changing Room Policy

[Bobbisox1]

Sharing a dressing room with the opposite sex?
Again is this a case of ‘ pandering to the minority’ ?

In my opinion,If it’s not broken,why fix it ?
Answer, Because we have to pander to the majority’

"So Spath your basically saying ‘ Tough, I’ve you don’t like it it?"

Absolutely.

Maybe be less self centred, always thinking "how will this affect me" rather than "How will this help include others".

Such a self centred society.

Fed up with this ‘ere pre text

Bobbi, did you mean minority?

[naomi24]

Oops. Cross posted. :o)

Spath I think you’re just a protagonist :0)
Do you shop there?

Only in the last couple of hundred years we've accepted gay people, people of colour, this is simply the next hurdle in society.

Imagine if someone said can we have changing roosm for gay people only, because I don't want them trying to look at me getting changed?

How ridiculous and phobic I sound, also how self centred.

I really think i'm that special that a gay person would find be attractive or want to look at me getting changed?

Or do i sound like i'm saying all gay people are perverts?

It's the same thing with the trans issue. Think about it...

[Bobbisox1]

Since the last update on Apple Naomi, it’s gone out of control and sometimes ridiculously funny as well :0)

[naomi24]

spath, most women don't want to share changing rooms with men. What's so difficult to understand?

[Bobbisox1]

I think it sounds like you’re on a soap box more
#just saying# :0)

[DTCwordfan]

Sounds like M&S have got their knickers in a twist over this.....

[AuntPollyGrey]

M&S fitting rooms, along with most others these days, all have locks on them. Frankly I don't care who is doing what in the locked fitting room next to mine, male female or the apparent myriad of in betweenness. I think the old communal fitting rooms were far worse.

"spath, most women don't want to share changing rooms with men. What's so difficult to understand?"

Nothing.. all i'm saying is, who cares? Tough.. get over it. Get with the times.

I'm also saying those women are trans phobic and rather pompous. I say don't share a changing room then? Simply don't use it.

[Mamyalynne]

Totally agree about the old styli communal changing rooms, hated those.

At least with separate cubicles you have some (if limited)m space to yourself.

[Mamyalynne]

^ style

[naomi24]

APG, Those communal changing rooms are horrible. I won't use them. Sharing a space filled with individual lockable changing rooms is fine until you need to come out into the communal area to get someone to help you get into whatever you might be trying on, or to 'do you up'. Some evening dresses in particular are notoriously difficult to manoeuvre alone.

[AuntPollyGrey]

Last week in Next there were around 5 people waiting for cubicles in the woman's changing rooms so I went to the mens -all locked cubicles . I saw nothing there to make my hair curl ;-)

[naomi24]

spath, //all i'm saying is, who cares? Tough.. get over it. //

Why don't you say that to the men who want to use women's facilities? They could just get over it ... couldn't they?

[HansUrbancka]

I certainly would Not.

It's about time all this stupidity was halted. I Do Not wish to use the same changing rooms and toilets as members of the opposite sex.

In fact, if it's a case of being politically correct, perhaps we should have more facilities.....Let's have 1.Male, 2.Female and 3. LGBTQ cubicles

Hans.

"They could just get over it ... couldn't they?"

Well.. they could, but if the establishment allows them to use the changing facility they feel most comfortable with, it seems those who find objection to this ,are the ones with the problem.
