Would you go into a gender-neutral bathroom?
 
If given a choice between going into a gender-neutral bathroom or waiting a few minutes to try and find a traditional man's or woman's bathroom what would you do?

Gender neutral isn't an issue. Swimming pools are gender neutral. Yah you have a costume on but it's essentially the same thing.

I would prefer to go into a gender neutral bathroom all of the time tbh

There's no reason to split toilets up based on sex. They exist for people to piss and sh*t in. Have a load of cubicles, go in, do your business and leave. It'd be safer for everyone if they were mixed.

If you do the same things in your local swimming pool as you do in a toilet, I don't think I want to swim there :umm2:.

In answer to the thread... If it was all cubicles then I don't see the issue. However, I don't know if I'd be OK getting the D out at a urinal in a unisex toilet. All of the ladies would be trying to sneak a peek at the goods and I'd get shy :(

Gender-neutral toilets don't have urinals I don't think

As far as I'm aware it's all cubicles

Me when all the gays are trying to grab me in the TiBB men's toilets.

Semi-related funny story : me and a mate walked into the toilets at a pub once, and a middle aged woman came out of a cubicle, saw us, and started properly screaming... Telling us to get away... Pushed past and ran out. She was freaking out so much that for a second I was like "**** are we in the wrong bathroom??" but then I was like no there are urinals.

I wonder if she thinks to this day that the ladies toilets were invaded by two strapping young men...

Having patronised 'Gay' clubs for decades in my youth, using a 'Gender Neutral' toilet is nothing new. I would not think twice.

_Tom_ 11-06-2016 03:29 AM

Yeah, I have used them and would continue to use them.

I don't think you can say that these bathrooms would be safer for everyone if mixed. We're already seeing them being abused by pedophiles and perverts. And there's also dangerous scenarios that are real possibilities, such as say a woman passing out in a bathroom after a night of drinking - a potential for more sexual assault, and certainly more sexual harassment.

The more people using one bathroom, the safer it becomes.

The usual argument against it is that men being in the same bathroom as women puts them at risk of being attacked. Well for starters if a man wants to attack a woman in a toilet, he'll just enter the woman's toilet as it is. At least if they were mixed there'd be other men (and women of course) there to restrain them and hopefully put a stop to it happening.

If paedophiles and perverts want to attack people in bathrooms, they will do so regardless of who is allowed in what toilet. They're already considering breaking the law, I don't think a sign saying 'women only' is going to stop them.

There is literally no legitimate reason to separate the two that I can think of and all it does is create unnecessary division. The arguments to merge them universally far outweigh those to maintain the status quo.

Don't mind really.Where i used to work there was this old man who used to have really smelly ****s so i would just go and use the ladies regularly.
At festivals you used to go in a big wooden box thing over a pit with cubicles and the walls were only neck height so you would sit and **** next to and chat with men or women nobody cared.Many times in nightclubs women would run in and come and look at or in some cases touch your cock.I don't mind tbh.It's just a toilet.

Ninastar 11-06-2016 11:02 AM

Meh I dunno. I wouldnt be very comfortable with the thought of going into a bathroom with men in it. For my own personal reasons really. If I was really, really desperate I'd just run in and go but thats only if I had to.

Greg! 11-06-2016 11:07 AM

I don't get why people would feel unsafe in a gender neutral toilet? If you are uncomfortable with being in the same room as the opposite gender then logically you'd feel unsafe in all sorts of places like work, school, the street etc

Kizzy 11-06-2016 11:10 AM

Public toilets attract creeps at the best of times so no, I don't really like them I have used them but prefer not to.

Jordan. 11-06-2016 11:10 AM

Yes if it was the quickest way but it's not something I'd want to become a norm :sorry:

We have them at school and I have no issue going in.

Crimson Dynamo 11-06-2016 01:43 PM

nothing wrong with the present system so no i would not if there was a mens loo around

Crimson Dynamo 11-06-2016 01:44 PM

also men who sit down to pee should be beaten with fork handles

Shaun 11-06-2016 01:45 PM

If I need the toilet I need the toilet. Couldn't give a rat's ass who else is in the next cubicle.
