No worries, I'll just hold it until I find a politician to piss on
Gendered bathrooms have always been stupid. Everybody poops, everybody pees, it's good enough to just have a room where everyone can do that.
Word of caution. Many are into that.
Oh fuck that. No way I want to line up behind 20 women when I need to drop a deuce
The fun thing is tha t by combining them you reduce the waiting tolime overall for everyone together, while making it a bit longer for the now privileged.
This. Most of the time women have to wait in long lines while men's room is empty. There were times women would loose patience and just went to man's room because why not.
Most women will not be using the urinal, though, which is why men's bathrooms are often much quicker to get through.
That too. But especially with smaller bathrooms you have situations with lines to women's while men's being just empty
I mean you could do separate lines or something for that— but at the same time maybe that just means you need more bathrooms if there is a significant line. Also maybe making a separate powder room would reduce the lines by directing those who want to do make up or something to a different place.
This is the way. The shitter and the talking-shit areas should be separate.
Wait are you saying they´re taking up bathroom stalls to do their makeup??
Bathroom stalls are nasty. Just have poop rooms with good ventilation and a community sink.
Can't they make all toilets unisex? In Sweden a lot of them don't device in male and female. You have your toilet with a sink to wash your hands and a mirror behind a closed door, problem solved.
They could, but obviously these people would be against that. Because they don't have a rational objection, they're just bigots.
I read this the opposite way.
Scottish museums are objecting to an anti-trans judgement from the UK. They are saying that if trans-women can't use the women's bathroom, and trans-men can't use the men's bathroom, then they have to close. They're being allies.
It's based on a recent case where Scotland's highest court stated that a person's gender could change based on a doctor's authority, and this was overturned on appeal by a UK judge.
The bar I used to work at just had a bunch of toilets in full enclosed stalls, a urinal section around the corner from that, and then communal sinks
Heaven.
Yea this is a common layout for toilets in bars.
But that might mean there's only room or plumbing connections for (as an example) two or three toilets when there was a room that allowed 4 or 6 toilets. And now the reduced capacity runs against the rules set out in other building codes. I'm not going for or against just saying, see the problems?
I see the problem that someone planned it wrong and now it needs to be corrected.
But also it's not like it costs an arm and a leg to do it.
Adding these is usually the way to solve it. There wouldn't be enough room to completely convert existing without losing a lot of capacity.
Before long, it became clear that private toilet facilities were probably impossible to make work, and the only real option was to revert to public urination and defecation in the street, an option that had worked admirably for many centuries.
Trans people and people who don't mind trans people get private stalls; TERFs can poo in public so everyone can see if a scary trans person bothers them. If they don't want to, they're welcome to use the stalls too.
Fascinating how some people are capable of creating problems out of nowhere. That's Trumponia-tier idiocy.
We can thank the TERFs and their fellow bigots for managing that.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
