However, we decided to just turn-up at the UNITE double-decker bus (I was a member of that union at the time) – and see if we could blag our way through – and blag we did. If we had not taken direct action – Gee is very gay-friendly and the crowd took to her – we would not have been able to attend. I think the fact we are mixed-race couple acted as camouflaged for our presence (everyone thought someone had okayed it previously). As a straight couple – we were not permitted on the bus by the lesbians who occupied and controlled it. At one point, I was kissed by a gay Asian man – which was not traumatising to me at all. He asked Gee’s permission first. Later, as a straight, mixed couple, with mixed kids, the gay and trans people that sat in and around London landmarks with us – looked at us with such love that I cannot deny the experience. I am not telling you how to think – indeed – I would advise thinking for yourself by reading all the evidence and weighing things-up. As workers living in a capitalist society – we are already oppressed. Granting (or withholding) access to toilets will not change that – even if it might be seen as “progressive” and a “movement in the right direction”. A genuine Red Army soldier fights to defeat capitalism and fascism for ALL people – not just those the bourgeoise establishment decide are acceptable or persona non grata.

Lastly, I would say that People with Disabilities have to use “asexual” toilets – with the idea that the ordinary “Male” and “Female” toilets should not be altered to accommodate disability (this is viewed as inconveniencing the non-disabled). The Disabled have no right to expect single-sex toilets – as such an adaptation would cost “too much”. However, and simultaneously, Women’s’ toilets are altered to accommodate pregnant women and women with babies – sometimes with an entirely separate and spacious area designed for breast-feeding and nappy-changing (in these separate spaces – both parents are allowed in together – or one or the other without comment – meaning men “share” women’s toileting areas). Quite often, the Disabled Toilets are co-opted by the able-bodied to act as spare toilets for themselves – or for mother and baby rooms – thus depriving the Disabled of the limited toilet-spaces the law has granted them after decades of campaigning for equal rights. The Disabled are continuously told it is unreasonable to expect better toileting conditions – or to keep the non-Disabled “out” of their areas. Of course, the Disabled are excluded from the “Trans” Vs “CIS” turf-war that is going on – but their plight does shed some light on this issue.
