Related subject: TransSome of our female staff have complained about their colleague, who has recently transitioned from male to female, using the women's toilets. They say they feel uncomfortable about there being a man in a women only area, and don't accept their colleague as a ‘real’ woman. How can I support the staff member who is transitioning, while making sure that other female staff do not feel uncomfortable in her presence?
