Trans women must be barred from female toilets, changing facilities and sports teams, new official guidance is to state.

Bridget Phillipson is expected to confirm on Thursday that official guidance will state what businesses and public bodies must do under the law to protect single-sex spaces.

The guidance follows last year’s Supreme Court judgment that trans women, who were born male, are not legally women for the purposes of the Equality Act.

So in a quest to ban something that has never caused an actual problem they just create a new one.

Women who have transitioned into becoming a man will now be forced to explain to everyone that they are biologically a woman when entering a toilet, and for me there is now a chance that the next time I'm stood at a urinal my neighbour will be a woman with a bigger knob than mine.

Meanwhile, actual sex offenders will continue to not be stopped from committing offences in toilets and changing rooms because of a little sign on the door
