That’s clearly not possible, because although unisex toilets have functioned just fine for forever some TERF’s with a lot of money behind them have decided that the moment a man enters a bathroom a woman could also be in the poor damsel’s are in distress and faint due to shock or something.

More generally speaking: Of course support for people calling themselves victims is important. If they got victimized the reason is obvious. If they are only claiming to be victimized there is probably still something wrong and they likely need support regardless. Innocent until proven guilty can very much go hand in hand with supporting the (presumed) victims.

In this particular case though I’m suspecting the best support might be some witness protection program combined with mental health support. I’m personally of the opinion that these women continue to be in danger from their abusers.

Saw the headline, saw the picture. Thought “well, he sure looks like the shoe would fit…” felt a bit guilty. Came to look at the comments. Lol.

Innocent until proven guilty (I say that as a woman AND a survivor of SA).

Then again he was proven guilty in other cases. Seeing as those weren’t enough to remove him from power permanently I am not sure what this would do. If I had to bet on if he assaulted minors I’d go for heck yes. I’d bet nearly everything I have on that. So I’d be a pretty bad jury member of this case ;) anyway: the more evidence there is, the harder it is to ignore. Victim statements are pretty good evidence, but more is better.

Oh, good. My first instinct was that they’d use that plastic fake leather stuff. I really dislike fake leather. It’s not very durable and really difficult to mend when damaged. And it’s so very sticky in summer. Denim sounds like an amazing option though.
