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.

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.
