Virtually no one has complained about trans people in toilets

"Only four people in the UK have formally complained about a trans woman entering a "single-sex" facility, an eye-opening report has revealed. A report published by advocacy group TransLucent found that only four official complaints were documented across 382 public bodies since 2022. Between 2022 and 2024, the group's members submitted hundreds of Freedom of Information (FOI) requests across multiple investigations to local councils, NHS hospitals, domestic abuse refuges, and other major public authorities in England."

"Its follow-up investigation, which examined public bodies in an area covering over 16.5 million people, found just two complaints - one about policy and another which Translucent said was about "perception rather than confirmed identity". The findings contradict spurious claims that trans people must be excluded from so-called "single-sex" spaces for the safety of cisgender women and girls. While there is no evidence backing up the claim, 'gender-critical' groups and governmental institutions routinely cite the "safety" of women and girls in justifying anti-trans rhetoric and policy."

Advocacy group TransLucent documented only four formal complaints about a trans woman entering a single-sex facility across 382 public bodies since 2022. Members submitted hundreds of Freedom of Information requests between 2022 and 2024 to councils, NHS hospitals, domestic abuse refuges, and other public authorities. An investigation of council-owned swimming pools and leisure centres found 35 of 40 responses reported zero complaints and five had no relevant records; one cited a complaint by a cisgender person using the wrong facility. A follow-up covering more than 16.5 million people found two complaints, one policy-related and one based on perception rather than confirmed identity. Research cited emphasizes cisgender men as the greatest threat to women's safety.
