Five U.K. teenage girls have written to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, urging him to keep single-sex toilets in schools for girls’ safety and dignity. The Mail has the story.
In an open letter, the students – who are aged between 13 and 15 – called on Rishi Sunak to tackle the issue head on when the Government issues its long-awaited transgender guidance to schools.
The girls – who used only their first names to sign their letter for fear of a backlash from trans activists – said single-sex facilities were an “essential safeguarding feature” of schools.
But they warned that many schools had started introducing mixed toilets without consultation to appease transgender and Left-wing activists.
The five pupils, who identified themselves as Cynthia, Marilyn, Sonja, Olivia and Ellie, said many female pupils found mixed-sex toilets “intimidating, humiliating and downright dangerous”.
They called on Mr. Sunak, who is a father of two daughters, to uphold their rights.
“There is no justifiable reason to introduce dangerous and uncomfortable spaces into schools, and the Government has a duty to ensure that toilets in schools are safe and dignified,” they wrote.
The letter warns that in “many schools, girls are so uncomfortable with having to use the toilets there that they simply don’t go at school, risking a urinary tract infection”. They decided to write to Mr. Sunak after almost 12,000 people signed an online petition launched by one of the girls calling for single-sex spaces to be protected in schools.
The letter cites a school in Southampton where there were recent protests against the introduction of ‘gender-neutral’ toilets amid claims that boys were photographing girls in the gaps above or below toilet cubicles.
A teenage boy was arrested after police investigated reports that a number of girls were being sexually assaulted in mixed-sex toilets at another school in Essex.
The girls said being forced to share toilets with boys was unpleasant for female students who were menstruating, adding: “Girls must have private spaces where we can sort this out with dignity, away from potential shaming from boys and the humiliation of having everyone know you’re on your period.”

Why don’t they write to their school administration and o their teachers, who are the ones pushing this lunacy?
Better still why don’t they have a word with the boys and girls in their schools pretending they are a different gender and tell them to stop acting up like mental patients.
The solution to these or any of our problems isn’t coming from the government. If we look to government to solve our problems we’re completely screwed.
School Administrators don’t make education policy. It is government who do that. Tyranny is a top down one. Administrators did not remove leather straps. Social Justice people did that and they are now all in government.
“Mixed Loos are ‘Intimidating, Humiliating and Downright Dangerous”
Well knocka me down with a feather! Who knew?
Another day in
world..who the hell would have thought girls would be having to beg and plead to have their own toilets? Who thinks this is a good idea…and why?
…..and where are the useless parents?? Why aren’t they challenging it?
If they can’t be bothered to sort it out and fight for their own children, I’m beginning not to care….
Every f***ing wrong thing in the world can’t only be a problem, and resolved, by people like us…and they are making me less likely to care by their own bloody lack of a spine….
The parents need to band together & make it clear to the headteacher, citing them by name, that as the man or woman (not person – in law it’s very important that little detail) if any girl is assaulted or comes to harm, then they, the individual named man or woman will be held individually liable.
Nothing like forcing accountability to make someone reconsider their action. At the moment, these folk making the decisions are hiding behind bureaucracy & have no personal skin in the game.
This agenda is being implemented because of fear of loss, use that fear of loss to force responsible behaviour.
..absolutely agree…I’m often bewildered by lack of parental interest…I felt the same over masking…class ‘bubbles’ ..and jabs for kids….
…I can’t imagine having young children at school and not organising or helping to organise strikes, non-attendance…anything to force the issue….
I’m seriously thinking that something has been put in jabs, or something that younger..as opposed to older people have taken to make them so blooming spineless and disinterested!!?
Grandparents, aunts, uncles could also serve notice to these named men & women. We the men & women who are awake to this evil agenda need to take a stand for same sex toilets, changing rooms, age inappropriate sex education & all the rest of it. The vast majority of our fellow men & women are still asleep, but just because they are, doesn’t mean that we can’t protect the children.
A lot of the current crop of parents have been well & truly indoctrinated within the
propagandaeducation system so don’t see any problem with what is going on.Good on you BB for posting this advice.
Five girls writing to their head teacher(s) would not have made it into the Mail.
The point is, men don’t like it either. In fact, no one likes it except for activists and they probably are in a position where they don’t have to use public toilets at all.
I have a suggestion for all girls being forced to be humiliated and discounted by their “educators”.
Vile as this sounds, teenage boys cannot actually cope with the unpleasant reality of periods. I suggest Ladies disgusting as it may sound you leave your used sanitary towels and tampons in the entrance over a line in your bathrooms. better still play the boys at their own game a dump the bins of used goods emptied in their toilets. you might want to consider doing it in your teachers toilets too. They might soon get the message.
I would add. if they want to play girl let them deal with the realty
Firm but fair.
Great idea. Reminds me of the tale of Hypatia of Alexandria, a neoplatonist philosopher of the 4th Century AD. In order to dissuade an unwanted suitor she waved her menstrual rags at him, saying something along the lines of “This is what you really love, my young man, for you do not love beauty for its own sake.” The historian Damascius reports that the chap was thoroughly traumatised and stopped his behaviour immediately!
As a parent who has tried to fight against this for my daughters, it’s practically impossible to turn the tide on this: school leadership and local authorities either stonewall or lie to you, Parent Councils are full of people more interested in ingratiating themselves with school leadership than properly representing families, other parents either prioritise virtue-signalling status, are utterly stupid or lack the courage to raise their heads above the parapet (see Covid for plenty of examples), and when you live under an incompetent devolved administration you get zero support from local elected (not by me) morons who would struggle to hold down managerial positions in McDonalds. In the end, we moved house and schools.
And if you want to take legal action you need deep pockets as LAs are very happy to tie up tax payers’ money in wasteful litigation and appeals.
How many know what “Scunnered” means?
Relevance?
Don’t worry there is nothing suspicious about me asking that question, and I am in no way critical of your sensible comment. The reason I ask is that I am from Scotland and I am wondering how many English and others know what “scunnered” means. —You have a nice day now.
Whever thought back 30 years ago that one day little girls would have to plead to government to not allow men into their toilets?
It’s a shame the girls writing to Sunak weren’t called Fatima, Ayesha, Maryam, Adya, and Leah …… he’d take more notice.
They could post this in the loos –
NHS conslutants will only try to sell this to do you if they think you’re a man. And even this only if you go to the doctor regularly enough for no particular reason that someone sees an easy sales opportunity here. I don’t. Hence, these people don’t molest me.
Incredible we’re having to have this conversation in the first instance. As I keep on saying the madness continues net zero, gene therapy treatments, masks, antisocial distancing, lockdowns the list goes on and on. Anyone twigged what’s going on yet?
