The Beeb reports that men are banned from women’s toilets in Holyrood. In other news, water is wet and fire is hot.

Trans women will no longer be able to use the women’s toilets in the Scottish Parliament building.

Facilities designated as male or female-only would now be interpreted as meaning biological sex, the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) said.

So strange, to go by actual physical sex as opposed to the pretend fantasy in the head kind.

Decent governments don’t do things this way. If people identify as horses, we saddle them and ride them to work. If people identify as cars we jump in and drive them to work. If people identify as chocolate we eat them on our way to work. Identifying as defeats reality every time.

The SPCB said it had agreed “practical changes of minimal cost” to toilets and changing facilities following an interim review of Holyrood services.

The presiding officer set out the changes in a letter to MSPs and staff. It said:

• All Scottish Parliament toilets designated as male or female would now be interpreted as meaning biological sex.
• A bank of three existing toilets in the public area of the building would be designated as a gender-neutral facility.
• These will be in addition to female-only toilets, male-only toilets, an accessible toilet and a changing places facility.

Peace in our time.
