When you're classed as the spinster sister, I don't think that's a big seller on Tinder !!!!!

How do we know that someone who has made the surgical physical switch has also made the emotional/personality/mental switch too? There are an awful lot of assumptions going on here.. and I'd prefer that this whole thing had a decade or two to become more established with extensive research committed before we run ahead changing our whole society/existence to accommodate them, without any real consideration of how our society will be affected.... There really is far too much "rose-tinted glasses" being applied to these kinds of changes, without any effort to consider the possible negatives (both short term and long term). Instead, there is the automatic assumption that everything will be better regardless of what happens, and anything negative that might occur is the fault of those who are uncomfortable or resist the enforced changes.

Maybe we should get rid of the idea of segregating our children by gender.
I went to a mixed primary school and then an all boys secondary school. Why? It's bizarre when you think about it. Especially when I travelled and it wasn't the norm for them. Segregating us for education doesn't make a lick of sense to me when we're allegedly trying to reach a more equal society. Far enough for sports when there is an empirical, measurable difference between the sexes. That daily mail article doesn't make any sense if you find the idea of an all girls school to be bonkers in the first place.
I really think the solution to this is reaching unisex spaces. It'll cause a bit of stress at the start but it will get rid of all this nonsense. Sure Drury Buildings in dublin already have this.

There are many women who want to only be in a female only space when vulnerable (ill, naked, whatever). If you have a penis, you are male. You have no business being in that female only space. Sexual orientation is a red herring - a lesbian is still a woman. A post op transgender women is a woman. The reverse also applies - if a man in the lav on Saturday objected and told me to leave, I would have left.
