What's your stance in gender neutral bathrooms?

We actually had them in college--showers and everything--didn't bother me. My sophomore year was the only year that I was in a building where you didn't have a bathroom in your suite. There were instead two large bathrooms per floor and you used whichever one was closest to your room. Nobody seemed to have an issue with it. Kind of amazing given that it was over 25 years ago.

 

I would actually feel more comfortable in gender neutral bathrooms than I would in gendered bathrooms
I don't feel I belong in men's rooms, and I don't feel I belong in female's rooms, but gender neutral (aka unisex) are for everyone so I would be fine there.

You do realize that female rest rooms are nasty as hell to, right?
I've been in some with piss on the seats as well as the floor. Some women don't flush so you have piss and shit just floating around, worse if they were on their periods...And while on the topic of periods. I have had the unfortunate pleasure of walking into a stall that had blood on the walls, floor, and seat.

Do not call men animals when females are just as bad.

 

My school has gender natural bathrooms in some parts..
People disliked it at first but it's quite practical

 

I'm all for them, although I understand that some people aren't comfortable with the idea

 

Seeming as how I'm a non-binary trans person, it'd be kind of hypocritical of me to not support them.

 

I'm okay with it being a third option. I feel like people should have the choice to choose which bathroom they feel most comfortable with, for everyone, instead of getting rid of the existing bathrooms we have now. If moms feel uncomfortable bringing their little girls to pee in bathrooms with older men, she shouldn't be forced to.

 

I wish there were gender neutral bathrooms everywhere -_-

But yeah I agree that all three should be available (at least for now) because tons of people would feel uncomfortable (and the whole idea is to make people feel more comfortable, right?) That being said, I thinks it's kind of dumb that we have separate bathrooms in the first place

 

I love gender neutral toilets! They ensure that everyone has a toilet they are comfortable using. I don't think necessarily all toilets should be gender neutral, but having the option of one or two would be great.

I have a seen a lot of disabled toilets that are gender neutral, but as far as I can recall, the only normal neutral toilets were when I went to Oxford on a school trip. The college we had a look around had stalls with a loo and sink that came straight off from the corridor, with full wooden doors. They were brilliant.

I wholeheartedly support them.

I've been in both bathrooms, so I really don't care who's in there. It's also a good thing for trans people who are not comfortable in either rooms or non-binary individuals.

 

I also want to point out, for those women opposed to unisex restrooms, that the separation of restroo.s didn't happen till the late 19th century and was apart of the whole "women belong in the home" movement. It wasn't in till the 1920s that laws passed saying that women and men needed separate bathrooms. It was a way of fighting against women suffrage movements

Bathrooms did not use to be separated by gender. At least not all of them

 

On the walls?? How the hell do you get it on the walls? Are you sure it wasn't a murder scene?

In relation to the actual topic of the thread, they are not something I am opposed to, however, I would like them in addition to male and female separated bathrooms, rather than as a replacement of them. The thought of walking past a bunch of guys at urinals doesn't really appeal to me.

 

I think it would be a cool idea since a lot more people in the community are non binary and are uncomfortable with gendered bathrooms. Personally myself being uncomfortable, I would love them.

 

I'm trying to figure out how they got it on the walls myself, probably had some on their hands and didn't bother to clean it

 

I think we need more anecdotal evidence on this topic. I hereby challenge all the men/males out there to use the women's room (provided it's a single) and the women/females to use the men's room and report back. Maybe dispel a little stigma while we're at it. What are they gonna do, arrest us? Strip search?

Come on. Doitdoitdoitdoitdoit

 

I'm all in for them, but I'd rather they have just single room toilets. However that would mean more building cost and more waiting in lines :/
I would feel awkward if everyone else used single sex toilets then I have to go next door into the neutral one. So I'd rather they made every toilet neutral, or had none at all and just kick out all the people who will harass any trans people going in. I don't like how some people seem to view it as 'making accomodations for the special people', and I think that's gotten to my head a bit too much so now I think if I had the option of female, neutral or male bathroom, I'd actually just use the male bathroom just to avoid drawing attention to myself. But I don't know, I have a lot of mixed feelings about it...

 

As a bi guy, I have used the women's restroom several times. BECAUSE I REALLY HAD TO F*****ing go. Not because I wanted a peek. Seriously. nobody does that. And the sooner the government recognizes it, the better we all are.

 

Bathrooms should be separated imo it been like that for ages. if your not comfortable using a female or male bathroom use the family restroom. I always feel like the women's bathroom was dirty. I can't believe how much of a big issue this is only in America.

 

I think that gender-segregated bathrooms are unnecessary and that we should finally grow up as a species and stop caring about what bathroom people shit in.

 

I'm fine with them. I mean, we kind of already have them, too, like the wheelchair bathrooms. And some places just don't have gendered washrooms.
