@nedkelly A transgender went into a girls bathroom at a high school in Oklahoma and beat the crap out of her. I think he was jealous or something. He wasn’t even supposed to be using the girl’s bathroom, it’s an Oklahoma law now that they have to use the bathroom of the sex that is on their birth certificate. All he did was prove the point of the ones who don’t want mixed bathrooms.
Yes. Why.... Privacy ..morals .. hormones ..rapist ..child molesters The list goes on.... it's down right wrong! If same gender restrooms will ever be safe...one toilet, one person at a time.
Can I identify as having reached the age for full Social Security eligibility? If reality is what we say it is and not what it actually is anymore, why not?
@Fairydust Small children do see that anyway because lots of people bring their little kid with them into restrooms regardless of the gender. I saw women bringing their little sons into women's restrooms. When there's a desperate father with a little girl who refuses to go to women's restrooms alone, do you think he accompanies her there or takes her to men's restrooms? The question is "see what exactly?" anyway...
@LilPrincess I know... Women already get hit on by men out in the open. Can you imagine being confined in a small room with some guy who finds you attractive. Scary stuff..
They would be full of glory holes. We had problems with them in our work toilets and each time they would fill them up with putty someone would come along with a screw driver, or sharp implement, and poke the hole through again.
[i]A glory hole (also spelled gloryhole and glory-hole) is a hole in a wall or partition, often between public lavatory cubicles or sex video arcade booths and lounges, for people to engage in sexual activity or observe the person in the next cubicle while one or both parties masturbate.[/i]
@chrisCA You reminded me how I got drunk with a friend in the middle of the day when we were 16 and I used the toilet and he pissed into a basin. 🤦♀️😂🤣 If I lost memory and someone told me this happened I would have a hard time to believe it. 😂
When I was a teenager and partied in Buffalo, New York, the bars I danced in were mixed gender. It was easy to get used to both men and women sharing the bathrooms. There were stalls that had sliding locks. No one minded. With two stalls in each bathroom, people waited in the hall until their turn. Being in healthcare, mixed people in close quarters doesn't concern me.
We have mixed gender "one person" bathrooms here already. It's a single room, usually large enough for a wheelchair with a fold down changing table for babies. They are very clean, as a general rule. If they were not, I would be upset by them.

@4meAndyou I think the OP meant multiple stall bathrooms, but I could be wrong.
No, too many male sex offenders in the UK who would pose a risk. If from the equalities side organisations insist then they should be compelled to have seperate male and female facilities and a third seperate facility for whoever wishes.
I’ve used them before, in dance clubs when I was younger. They never had doors so I always asked friends Or random strangers of my sex to go with me to stand in front of the door
Been there, done that. Public restrooms are a problem for me either way so whether there's a woman or a man impatiently shuffling around in front of my stall doesn't make much difference.
@samueltyler2 That's not cool. I assume that if there were common restrooms there definitely would be private stalls. Actually I don't get the whole urinals thing. If I were a man I would probably rather use a stall anyway.
@CrazyMusicLover men start using them when they are little. They use less water per flush, and the architects can cram many more into a room than stalls. In some places, they are actually waterless. I developed this silly idea of photographing bathrooms as a side interest.
The only one ive ever been in was horrid. There was a trough, 2 cubicles without doors and two sinks. There was a mirror....but i didnt hang about in there to check my lippy....i couldnt wait to get out!
Nope. If anything i think that they would be a benefit: either parent could escort their child to the bathroom to keep an eye on them.
Itd stop this mess with transgendered people, and allow carers to keep an eye on their clients more closely.
Itd mean couples wouldn't have to stand around outside looking creepy while waiting for the other , and itd mean any gendered police or security could respond to a call .
Im all for it. I mean, disabled toilets have been non genedered for years and its not a problem .🤷♀️
Edit: and as to creeps, child molesters etc - I think with a general public restroom they would be less likely to commit assault of vulnerable people if there was a higher likelihood of other males being in there. ...as they would get their heads beat in.

@OogieBoogie I already get harrassed by men out in the open, I don't need them harrassing me in a bathroom where I'm even more vulnerable 🙄.
I dislike anything like that. Something like urinoirs are out of this century, and public toilets without the door been able to close are even worse. Don't get me started!
Yes, I firmly believe they should be separate. Women are in potentially and maybe even more eventually in harms way having them using a bathroom that men use. Bad idea right from the get-go.
