Disabled rights advocates are increasingly alarmed as the UK's trans community faces discrimination similar to their own, particularly regarding access to public restrooms. Following a recent supreme court ruling on biological sex, proposals have emerged to confine trans individuals to using disabled facilities, as suggested by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch. Activists like Michaela Hollywood argue that marginalized groups share a bond over experiences of exclusion, highlighting the inadequacies of available solutions and underscoring that proper access to toilets is a right for all individuals, regardless of their gender identity or disability status.
"The vast majority of disabled people are so aware of what it feels like to be excluded from basic facilities... if there's not a Changing Place where I'm visiting then I can't go."
"Kemi Badenoch... suggested that trans people could use disabled loos, while employment lawyers have suggested this as a workaround for businesses that do not have gender neutral facilities."
