    Don’t get why the one on the left was kicked out. Makes no sense regardless of your political leaning.

    The one on the right… it begs the question, if a cis woman can be kicked out of a women’s bathroom for not looking feminine enough, rude and wrong as that is… is she supposed to go in the men’s room?

    The real question being begged is, can we just get individual bathrooms in public? That’s the real answer. As a man, I don’t want to share a bathroom with other guys. Not because I’m threatened by them, but because bathroom time is private time.

    Alternatively, we could just have coed communal bathrooms everyone uses, everyone uses a stall, everyone washes their hands in the same line. Fathers of daughters might be upset, but they could go in with them.

    All this bathroom shit is dumb as hell. Focus on the addicts shooting up in bathrooms, get them the help they need, leave everyone else the hell alone.

    Hope they get millions. Would be better if it happened in the Deep South but we know they wouldn’t get shit.

      Seattle has done this in a few places! The city just redid a park along the downtown waterfront, and put in a big communal bathroom, and I’ve seen a couple at the SeaTac airport too. Maybe I’m a bit biased as a trans woman, but it really seems like the best solution to me.

      Here’s the thing: it was never about “protecting women” or something. It was always about controlling how a woman is supposed to look, act, etc like. Women who are not “feminine enough” are not supposed to exist.

      Fathers of daughters might be upset, but they could go in with them.

      Most of them, especially fathers with younger daughters who still need some help with the toilet, will probably be relieved. Because nowadays it feels very weird being a father who wants to help his daughter with toilet things starting at choosing the appropriate restroom, being stared down or being scared of reactions.

      My main issue with coed is that too many guys piss on the seat and floor and couldn’t be bothered to clean it.

      I live in Stockholm and people here generally have good bathroom etiquette, and a lot of places are coed, but last week I was in a bar, and a dude came out of the womens bathroom, and I ended up having to clean his piss off of the seat.

      Make men sit too or something before you implement coed in the rest of the world.

        To be fair, in my experience women are far more often guilty of pissing the whole toilet in bars because they hover above the toilet while peeing. Guys just lift the lid.

          having cleaned both men and women’s restrooms for a living, I can confirm the women’s is often just as dirty as the men’s

          (overall I personally felt women’s restrooms were worse; I’ve never had to clean up blood in a men’s restroom, but it wasn’t infrequent that there was blood on the floor and seats in women’s restrooms)
