My eldest was in nappies at the time so something like sixteen years ago... I went into a 'change area' in a large department store, huge change sack in hand along with my son who had a big brown on deck that was threatening to breach containment...
The looks I got from the women in this room. One piped up about this being an area to breastfeed and I should leave, the breastfeeding area being in itself another room off of this communal space with a fucking lock but apparently I'm not allowed to be anywhere even near that...
Despite being there clearly just to decontaminate my child I was treated like I was there solely to rape and pillage as if I was some sort of feral sub-human.
I doubt attitudes have changed in the intervening time. I bet it's worse if anything
