Here we go again with cis people tripping about a trans woman peeing in the ladies room. The latest report of this BS comes from Scotland.Hannah Leith has been transitioning full time for less than a year and after doing some window shopping around noon local time handled her business in the ladies room at the Paisley Centre.
She has done this countless times since starting her transition, but on this occasion Leith was stopped by an overzealous security guard who obviously isn't aware of the 2010 Equality Act. She was advised by the guard someone filed a complaint about her using the bathroom and told she was only to use the men's or disabled toilets.
When she pointed out the Equality Act says otherwise, the guard responded with if she attempted to use the female bathrooms she would be banned from the center.
Leith went on to say to PinkNews.com.uk:“It was not made clear whether a staff member or a member of the public had made this complaint… I have lived full-time as a woman since last August and this disgusts me.”
FYI, the 2010 Equality Act (as the radfems are painfully finding out) bars discrimination based on gender reassignment, sex and sexual orientation. Leith went to a nearby library and printed out the pertinent sections of the Equality Act in an attempt to civilly discuss the matter with mall management but no one was available. She was stopped by a different Paisley Centre security guard when she attempted to use the bathroom again.
UK Stonewall and the Scottish Transgender Alliance were appalled by the news and pointed out in the Pink News article that “refusal to allow use of sanitary facilities appropriate to the gender in which the person is living”, is in breach of the Equality Act.
It's also a breach of common sense, decency and humanity. Let my people pee, Scotland!.
