Their spaces are designed for them
I saw want to ask this question straight to his face, or at least to his social face via social media, but he seems to have had the wits to make that not easy to do.
“Disabled people’s spaces are designed for them. I don’t think it’s right, and nobody asked their permission to take their space.”
Yes. True. Spot-on. Nail on the head. Exactly right. And you know what other set of people that applies to?
WOMEN you absolute raving buffoon. Women’s spaces are designed for us. Nobody asked our permission to take our space. We don’t think it’s right.
DO YOU SEE IT NOW?
I genuinely cannot understand how he can say that and not see what it is he’s admitting. He’s a judge after all; they have to pay attention to the words and what they mean and what follows from them.
I just stumbled upon this Wikipedia page.
Do they now.
Of course, that can be a problem for those of us who have disabilities that can’t be seen. How can someone watching me walk out of a disabled toilet realize there are reasons I have to use that? I don’t limp, or ride a wheelchair, or….any number of other obviously disabling conditions.
But we can tell the difference between a woman and a man. And having a man in the woman’s toilets without our permission is terrifying. For most disabled people, it’s inconvenient, but there is no reason to think the other people are going to cause harm. They’re just taking up space where they aren’t welcome. A man in women’s spaces has that additional problem, and this judge chooses to pretend it doesn’t exist.
This guy sees exactly what he is saying with that remark. He is enjoying being able to tell women that he and his bloke friends will do everything they can to take over our spaces, no asking, just conquest.
Mosnae: a non-zero number of disability pretenders are also trans-identified.

That reminds me of Jonathon Yaniv’s scooter affectation.
