If it becomes a legal requirement they must.

If not then that’s their decision and anyone impacted will have to decide their own response.

Whether you believe it’s reasonable, or not, is obviously just an opinion.

If it is legislated over then individual opinions get trumped by the law.

The tidal direction seems clear enough to me. It hits a few rocks on the way but it can flow around them.

Of course not.

I am saying the need to deal with the needs of a diverse society means that the same considerations that were applied to the disabled also need to extended to others.

There weren’t ramps for wheelchairs when I was a child. Now they are common place.

We progress as a caring society. Sometimes slowly and after a battle but progress we do.

You are clutching at straws!

They won’t. Everyone who provides changing facilities will face the same requirement. There would be grants, exceptions and time to comply.

The costs would not be excessive. New requirements appear routinely and are an accepted part of running a business. How many failed because they had to build a wheelchair ramp?

It does disadvantage the majority though. Do the women involved want this? Since the law has been clarified to allow gyms, etc to enforce single sex changing rooms it would appear not.

Many changing areas, and all toilets, already have separate cubicles so it’s by far not all. Whether proportionally more than those needing to construct ramps is unknown but overall much less as most businesses have no changing areas. The cost of building a cubicle to change is negligible. No plumbing. Just 2 panels and a door.

No taxpayer is “burdened” by progress. If everyone took that view nothing would change. If it’s done democratically then it’s what we have decided.

Exceptions would likely be because of space, or very infrequent use limitations.

Common sense would, I am sure, prevail.

This is all speculation on what might be the future solution to a situation which divides opinion. When faced with such issues sensible compromises make sense and this feels like one.

A simple solution to this issue albeit you'll have the usual cabal of 'Yuman Rights' advocates screaming otherwise, is to fast track pre-op surgery for these prisoners with them signing a waiver to proceed for this. Let's see how many take up the offer? I'm willing to bet the answer will be a resounding 'none'..........
