Is It Time To Ditch Gender-Neutral Toilets? Concerns About Women's Safety Sparks Debate | GMB

Schools, hospitals, theatres and office buildings under construction must include separate lavatories for men and women, government minister Kemi Badenoch has ordered. The legal requirement for developers in England to include gender-specific lavatories comes after schoolchildren were avoiding using gender-neutral lavatories because they did not want to share them with the opposite sex. A Whitehall source said: “it is vital that women feel safe and comfortable when using public facilities and that there is a greater emphasis on provision that is focused on dignity, privacy, tolerance and respect for all.”

Just add third bathroom for all that bullshit.

[@akadog6319]

there should never have been a time when, Gender-Neutral Toilets were allowed.

[@talon532]

They only allowed it at first because there wasn't enough toilets in the bathrooms!

The rights of women have been rolled back for the peace of mind of some men. It is truly shocking what this world has become.

[@obflow8308]

They shouldn’t remove the men’s and women’s. Just add a third

[@user-di8hm2jl2u]

@@obflow8308 I agree with that idea. There should be a gender neutral bathroom if you chose not to use the bathroom/locker room of your bio sex. Womens spaces should be preserved.

[@obflow8308]

@@user-di8hm2jl2u yeah. The amount of the population that’s not identified with male or female is not that great of number. It’s super low. So making bathrooms for this and removing option is Ludacris

That guy is dismissive of the claims of assaults. Like regardless, it’s something to seriously consider 🙄 his feelings are more important

[@camillecali22]

We lock the door when we are in the bathroom, effectively turning the bathroom into single use

[@MrNickrat]

can we have some stats on the "generations of men mistreating women"

[@obflow8308]

I bet that statistic at the end made him feel stupid.

[@Rynewulf]

Has anyone even seen neutral toilets anywhere? This feels like an invented problem to sell books

[@MajorRuin]

I haven't seen any in my area Nottinghamshire I didn't even know this was a thing until I saw random short 😅. I had to search KZbin just confirm it wasn't a sketch.

[@mat42e]

I've encountered plenty of bathrooms clearly turned into gender-neutral restrooms in Denmark and Sweden. You could tell by the fact there were two bathrooms next to each other, but somehow they were both gender neutral. I also heard from a friend about a case where they turned bathrooms into gender-neutral ones at a university in Spain. In the UK, and in Poland where I live, I've never seen those though.

[@Rynewulf]

@@mat42e im not sure the people complaining have ever been abroad to see the real problems of the world, let alone somewhere in Scandinavia to see common sense in action instead of profit driven fake panic

[@pamh1648]

Yep we have them at my work (a University). I hate them.

[@Rynewulf]

@@pamh1648 can I ask why? Has anyone actually been attacked by creepy men there (more than normal toilets) or is it just your feelies?

[@abbysands9510]

The solution is simple create three bathrooms: 1: Woman's bathroom 2. Men's bathroom 3. Gender Neutral bathroom for anyone who doesn't want to use 1 or 2. Now, what is happening is that 1 and 2 are being scrapped in favour for only 3 which is wrong. What instead should happen is that you should give people a choice and not force your will upon them.

[@jakejones5736]

Guess again. #1 and #3 are what exists. You just have an issue with equality by getting rid of #2 because now WOMEN will also have no choice!
