Why can’t we just get rid of gendered restrooms altogether?
Just have a room with fully enclosed rooms for a toilet and then a common area for the sinks. Get rid of those stupid flimsy walls with cracks everywhere and two feet of space beneath the door and just have a bunch of individual rooms with a toilet in them. Guys can pee in a toilet, they don’t need a uniral.
A lot of bathrooms in Sweden are like this. It’s so nice to be able to go to the bathroom without people peeking at you through the stall cracks and hearing your every movement.
I’ve peed and shit in so many bathrooms with questionable walls in between the stalls. I have no shame when it comes to this. When I went to a summer camp, I would even use the stall without a door because it was the cleanest.
In my 46 years of life, I can’t remember a single time anyone was “peeking” on me in the bathroom. What’s going on in Sweden where this is a common occurrence that needs to be stopped?
And in my office now, even with floor to ceiling walls you can still hear am everything. I don’t think it solves that problem at all.
My college dorm was like this. Every bathroom was ungendered. The stalls weren’t fully floor to ceiling, but were slightly better than the average public bathroom. 99% of people got over it after a little culture shock at the very beginning (maybe 2-3 days).
There was still one women-only bathroom in my building; I believe it was for a few students who asked for religious consideration. No biggie though for almost every student.
It only led to one embarrassing moment for me: I (a guy) was singing Frank Ocean at the top of my lungs while showering. When I came out of the shower a girl was brushing her teeth and made eye contact with me and kind of snickered/giggled. Racewalked back to my room 💀
My college dorm wasn’t like that. It was mixed-gender housing, but there was only one big bathroom per floor. So half the students had to go up or down when they wanted to go to the bathroom.
But of course that’s not how it worked in reality. After everyone got comfortable, a lot of people just started using the one on their floor, regardless of how it was signed. Turns out most people really aren’t pieces of shit.
Yeah, that’s the one down side, but instead of two restrooms with 4 stalls + 2 stalls & 2 Urinals you can have one restroom with 8 stalls. Probably won’t have as big of a line since it’s not as limited.
As much as I agree, that will cost money, therefore it won’t happen. I feel the only way a place will do anything that I beneficial to the end user/customer is if it is profitable for them.

There’s at least one high school in Minneapolis that’s done this. Apparently it’s actually going really well.

I’ve starting to see more of those and I love them. They have shared sinks but closest for toilets. It’s nice.
Because the pearl clutchers won’t let them.
I will not give up urinals. They’re so much faster and more efficient. Have you SEEN the lines for women’s restrooms?
just put urinals in every stall kinda like how outhouses have a urinal and a seat. We have the technology to do this!

You can fit way more urinals in available space than you can toilets.

You can also have cameras in the hand washing area without violating anyone’s privacy this way.
Such a simple solution to this whole stupid thing.
