So there will stil be regular male/female toilets? In the end I'm kinda whatever about this as long as it's not used as an excuse to remove urinals.
Yes, every gender neutral bathroom I've seen here at elementary schools and college campuses have single occupancy gender neutral bathroom/s next to the men's and women's bathrooms.
I haven't read the text of the law, but unless it explicitly says otherwise, I suspect it will be up to the schools/districts. If they have the money and room to build separate non-gendered bathrooms, then some of them will do so. But I suspect that most will simply convert existing bathrooms and not have gender specific bathrooms at all.
if all the bathrooms are neutral there's no need to have " regular bathrooms"
stares in confusion But urinals are the absolute worst. Benefits: cost less money and less space. Drawbacks: lack of privacy and inevitable splashback. Why would you want them?
So I don't have to sit on a public toilet of questionable cleanliness. A small bit of splashback from my own piss is preferable.
The privacy just has never been a concern bc no one is trying to look at other people's dicks while pissing.
If you can use a urinal, you can piss in a toilet without sitting down.
...which has all the same splashback issues except youre much more likely to have some piss spray in sone random spot outside the bowl
Urinals are more convenient when you just need to take a quick piss. I don't get why another person next to you is a problem. Also just don't piss dead center into the thing considering splashback. Do I really have to explain pissing now?
Urinals offer exactly zero additional convenience, and there is no splashback-free angle.
You are doing something wrong. Urinals are designed to not have splashback.
No, they aren't. They're designed to be cheap, not effective.
I really don't know why we have to have this conversation right now.
What using urinals offer:
There is much less splash using a urinal than standing at a toilet. You're doing something very wrong if it's splashing all over the place (how tf?).
Basic physics. Toilets have zero splash because gravity exists. Urinals have maximum splash due to conservation of momentum.
Sorry to break it to you, but I guess you suck at taking a piss lol.
Also you can put a wall between urinals
Yes, it's not rocket science.
Rocket science isn't hard either
Do you have a urinal in your house?
Just jumping in to say my grandfather did. Not a popular fixture, but you always can add one.
Every gender neutral bathroom I've been in has removed the urinals. It's fucking annoying.
Yeah that's what my comment is about. Just removing stuff until you end up at the common (worst) denominator is the worst kind of equality.
