That is trying to force your opinion on to others. Common sense dictates some potential problems as people are far from perfect, including kids.

What problems though? I'm yet to hear what the actual issue is or what people think would happen if unisex toilets were the norm? Just that there might be 'problems'. Common sense would also say to look at existing examples of it, and where I've experienced unisex toilets there hasn't been any issues that I'm aware of.
Is the problem that the boys might peek on the girls? Have a floor to ceiling walled cubicle or give them detention to teach them not to be little pervs, and there might be fewer adult pervs in the future

I guess if it saves space then grand but you cant have boys girls and unisex as that makes no sense (as well as disabled). But for a boy its easier to just go in piss in a urinal and walk out - its much more bother to go into a stall and lock the door etc, i expect most boys would just piss with the door open and then the girls would be like ew?

It's not that much more bother, and I don't necessarily think that would happen, if they're given rules surrounding it I don't see any reason why they wouldn't follow them. It's like anything, I mean if urinals didn't exist and they were being proposed now you'd probably get some people outraged because "omg what if they **** in them as well", or "what about the gay ones having a peek" but we accept urinals as fine because we have 'rules' for them that boys learn early on, so the same could easily become true for unisex toilets. I think we just assume the worst sometimes and don't give people enough credit for being able to learn a new way of doing something. It's just pissing and ****ing at the end of the day it's easy enough to close a door and it shouldn't really matter who's in the next cubicle so it doesn't make any sense to me why it has to be gendered.

Maybe they have them as well as boys and girls because it's transitional? Or to please the complaining parents? But they want to bring unisex ones in anyway because it's a step forward? I don't know, I'm not sure what their reasons are for that I just think the unisex ones are a good idea.

I've worked in the same place for 4 and a half years now... I have been into the men's customer toilets 5 times. Twice for burst pipes, three times because needles were found (urgh). They're that bad. I try to pretend they don't exist. The smell.
