She's a woman, so why does she get questioned in the women's restroom?

Janice reckons women’s rights are being ‘eroded to accommodate the LGBTQ+ community’. But, is this true? Yes, cis-women’s rights are being affected by the trans rights debate, but not in the way she assumes.
I recently had my presence questioned in the women's toilet, as have other cis-women who don’t have a ‘stereotypically feminine appearance’, by people trying to keep trans people out in the name of women’s rights.
It’s wrong to think that equality is like a slice of pie. The whole point of equality is that everyone gets a seat at the table. As a gay man, I’m proud to champion women’s rights and push against any erosion in the current atmosphere. Don’t tar us all with one brush.

John Glen MP has complained about businesses ‘sticking their nose in politics’ for supporting transgender campaigns. This was after a Costa Coffee mural featured a trans person with mastectomy scars. We’re in a time where it’s almost impossible to stay out of politics, as no matter what you do, some people will claim that to show any support for marginalised groups is to be politically motivated.

Liam Payne recently spoke out about being ‘scarred’ from his time in One Direction, and Tuba from Watford implied that rich people aren’t affected by mental health issues because they have money.
