What is a PC Brigade and how has it stifled you?

What exactly is a PC brigade?

I´d say it´s something like the "good behaviour police".

I'm part of the PC Brigade, I get off by stifling everyone else and pissing on their parade :pac:



****s sake, straight out of the daily mail :rolleyes:

and you know what? unisex toilets wouldn't be a bad thing either, everyone would have their own cubicles and privacy. oh dear, the sky would fall! :eek:

Most women don't want to share a toilet with strange men pissing at urinals. Secondly, the city of Brighton alone is spending £140,000 changing the toilets to unisex. In France they already have unisex toilets with no cubicles, looks like we are heading that way. I seriously doubt most people want to share toilets with the opposite sex with or without cubicles but of course it's only fair that the majority should be displeased to please a minority.

My heart bleeds, what a predicament. A brilliant use of hundreds of thousands of pounds when the NHS is understaffed and starving people are queuing up at food banks.

transgender people suffer urinary tract and kidney infections at a much higher rate than the general population presicely because public toilets can be such a dangerous place and many would rather hold it in than risk harrassment or assault in public toilets.

but of course, boo hoo, **** them transgender weirdo's right? who cares if they get the **** knocked out of them for just going to the bathroom :rolleyes: who cares if stuff like this happens:

Of all the things to get worked up about, this is hardly one of them. Every time taxpayers money is spent, you'll always find someone saying that it could have been spent better elsewhere. £140k is small change, tbh, and would barely make a dent in the NHS deficit.

I've used unisex toilets in Manchester. They were fine. There were no men using urinals in front of me and as I'm an adult, I wasn't traumatised by the experience of having to share the space with men while I queued and washed my hands afterwards.

It wouldn't hurt either to show some compassion to transgendered people. They didn't ask to be born that way, and a little understanding goes a long way. I also doubt that the sole reason the toilets are being upgraded is because of them, so your anger is misplaced.

Hmm, I think I'm a member of the PC brigade too. Do I get a hat or a badge?

I really don't get why people are so caught up on the idea of unisex toilets, are the toilets in your house separated by sex too?

it just makes sense for unisex toilets to be available, especially in public places like shopping centers and such. what if you've got a woman with a little boy who needs to go pee? does she take him to the men's room or the women's room? same if it's a dad who needs to bring his daughter to the toilet.

when it comes to it, I doubt anyone will actually care about toilets apart from a few daily mail readers who still froth at the mouth when the gays get rights

This doesn't explain why the cause of unisex toilets is so worthy and vital that hundreds of thousands of pounds must be spent on them at a time when so many people are going hungry and without medical treatment due to lack of funds.

And complaining about this toilet issue is hardly frothing at the mouth when gays get rights. Gays already have the same rights as anyone else, even marriage soon.

I'd be interested to see Fry's reaction to someone calling him a <insert homophobic, anti-semitic insult here>.

People who say being offended is no big deal tend to be talking about others, not themselves. I agree some folks can be too sensitive and look for reasons to be offended (from the left and the right; it's not the sole preserve of the "liberals") but it's with good reason at times.
