A big burly man in the women’s toilets at Dublin Airport today.
@DublinAirport
Women around him clearly uncomfortable but none of us said anything. Would you be comfortable confronting a man in the women’s loos?

There was a mother and her two kids there also. She was waiting outside one's door asking if he needed help, talking about poop etc, as mothers often do with their kids. This man was in the next cubicle. In there for awhile too. I nor any other female felt we could approach him.

This makes me so uncomfortable having seen the disgusting voyeuristic content some men post on the Internet from women-only spaces (especially women-only public toilets), having gained entry through sheer brazeness, like this man, or by claiming to "identify" as a woman.

Under #selfID and the Gender Recognition Act, no one can challenge this guy for being in the women’s bathroom, as all he has to do is say he is a woman and suddenly its OK, women being made to feel threatened or uncomfortable doesn't factor.

This man could well have walked into the women's bathroom by mistake. But when he saw all the women in here, he needed to turn around and walk back out. Instead he stayed, he just didn't care that he was making women feel uncomfortable and threatened.

Is this OK according to you?
Because we are a groundswell of women, mothers and voters who say that this is ABSOLUTELY NOT OK. Check your facts re: #SelfID and implications for women's rights
