Katie Alcock @wontsomeonethi2.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I don't want to use the term "cis". I know lots of men who neither identify as women nor have a gender identity. The reasons we don't have mass unisex facilities are many: space, money, safety, children, accompanying adults... In my workplace, we have sets of both, but no room for more unisex. 250

Katie Alcock @wontsomeonethi2.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Indeed, men who don't identify as trans need to stop thinking "eww he's in a dress he's not a man" and stop attacking (we can graciously assume, though there's no evidence it happens) men who say they are women using the men's facilities. Extend that to gay men and those with disabilities too. 350
