My thoughts is that it’s a simple situation really. If they’re harassing or assaulting people, the women will call the cops or something, simple situation and get the guy arrested. If he’s not doing anything, it’s nothing harmful. Apparently that’s not a solid enough answer. What should I have said?

        It would be cheaper to build actual walls in restrooms than to double their size systematically

        I actually prefer men and women separate restrooms because using the urinals is faster than going in to stalls, which reduces the wait time a bit. Then again, if you have two non gendered restrooms, you’ll get double throughput. Also, it would take a while to get adjusted to seeing both genders in the same restrooms, maybe I’m overthinking it, I’ve heard a university near me has non gendered restrooms only and the students are still adjusting to it.

        Apologies if I’m rambling.

          a lot of queer spaces are converting regular bathrooms to gender neutral bathrooms and the signs often say “with urinals”… who cares if there’s a woman using the bathroom while you’re using the urinal?

          I’m trans and the only reason I stopped using urinals is because it freaked the men out too much lol

          They’re so convenient! You don’t have to touch them! And it feels like my bladder empties more completely when standing idk

          Gender! 👏 Neutral! 👏 Urinals! 👏

          I mean, you could have urinals in one room and then gender-neutral toilets in another room. Urinals and gender neutral toilets are not mutually exclusive I think.

            Hmm good point. In all the gender neutral restrooms I’ve been in, there’s usually just stalls and no urinals, that’s why I only thought of a stalls only restroom.

          Nah you are good.

          The thing about this is that men are provided more space for essentials in the workplace, and making men stand to piss means less physically abled people have more trouble operating in that workplace.

          So outside the gender ick issues there’s equality reasons that gender neutral toilets are a good thing.

          Meh, urinals are pretty gross and you save pretty marginal amounts of time over quickly sitting down at a toilet

            they also save a lot of space and money so there tend to be more. at bars and clubs in particular where the men’s has urinals, the difference in line length is pretty stark

      When I try to recall the few non-gendered public bathrooms I’ve been in, they all had private stalls with real doors. It was nice. I’d be happy if all public bathrooms were like that.

      Yes. A room with a bunch of stalls and sinks.

      European type stalls that is, floor to ceiling, real doors.

      I’ve only been in a couple non-gendered communal bathrooms and it was a little odd, but only because I wasn’t used to it. The actual mechanics of it were basically the same as a normal bathroom. Go into a stall and do your business then come out and wash your mitts.

      I don’t have a problem with it being the standard. I guess I wouldn’t think it would be a good idea for high schoolers because they’re always in heat.

      I don’t have gendered restrooms in my house and people seem to navigate those just fine. I feel like it would work for public restrooms too.
