    Raised the issue with regard to the poor signage with the manager and was told that because it was a specialist changing room, they weren't allowed to discriminate against men who wished to try on lingerie and make it all female.

    But surely if it's a specialist changing room then can make it lingerie only and stop men from going in to try on shirts and trousers?

    Sorry to say, jamespir, but I think you're a fool not to have stood your ground and insisted on them giving you the key. That is outright sex discrimination, what kind of response is "you can't change your child because you're a man"? Disgusted. You really should have pushed this with their managers - what establishments were you in?

    They don't make front fastening over the shoulder boulder holders in my size either!

    I'm more comfortable being half-naked with men than women, as women can be more catty....and I think men are less likely to make !!!!!y comments

    You should have asked them to change him for you then as they wouldn't let you use the facilities. :)

    Can just imagine their faces.

    Which stores were you in?

    In the Southend branch a couple of weeks ago, there was a long queue at the ladies' changing rooms so I asked if I could use the mens. I was told no, so I found a quiet space behind the wooly jumpers and tried the top on there instead.

    I probably wouldn't have tried on a bra on the shop floor though.. ;)

    I seriously doubt that any bloke trying on womens underwear would have any desire to see you or your daughter topless.

    OK quick question, which dressing room would a pre op transexual use afterall they would technically be 50% of each sex.
    Approach her; adore her. Behold her; worship her. Caress her; indulge her. Kiss her; pleasure her. Kneel to her; lavish her. Assert to her; let her guide you. Obey her as you know how; Surrender is so wonderful! For Caroline my Goddess.

    If they still have their 'pecker' then they should use the dressing room for men.
