I’d say it would be the implication that trans people are disabled which is the most problematic part of the disabled toilet suggestion. In terms of practicalities I don’t think there are enough trans people in the UK to cause significant queues at disabled toilets.
True, but I do still think the unfairness to disabled people is important to highlight, even if it’s just the principle of it as opposed to real world impacts. It’s important we don’t let them push ‘undesirables’ into disabled people’s facilities as that carries negative implications for both groups.
There’s nothing shameful about having a disability. I’m autistic and have used the disabled toilet in times when my anxiety was really bad.
I have a transgender friend who said it was basically a disability, wouldn’t use the term “mental illness” as that’s quite derogatory, but gender dysphoria isn’t nice to live with from what I hear.

Trans people aren’t “undesirables”
I was speaking rhetorically about people like Reindorf, I didn’t mean to imply you thought trans people were undesirables.
