Make them all unisex. If it's a large facility with a bunch of stalls or a small facility for only one person, make them all unisex.

I went to a club with only one, huge, unisex bathroom once. It was.. like any other bathroom. Seeing people of the opposite gender wasn't really a concern anyways.

Since it was a rather yuge bathroom for a yuge club, if there was any shenanigans going on there would've been plenty of witnesses to call it out.

There was even one guy who went piss at a urinal, and started to leave without washing his hands. All the other guys started shouting at the guy to was his hands lol.

Yes. And get rid of that creepy door gap while you're at it

It’s only America that has pervert friendly toilet gaps.

....so you are going to take away my urinals, my fast turnaround time, and my silence?

[-] GildedGriffon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

In my hypothetical example, when you pictured stalls, you pictured them with only toilets inside. You didn't even consider that there could be a stall with just a urinal.

You may enjoy sidling to the trough and gazing at your competition, but some of us appreciate not having creeps trying to size us up.

I haven't seen a trough style urinal in a developed nation in my entire life.

You have never been to a stadium bathroom before?

They can put urinals in a unisex restroom.

In fact, there are all sorts of things in public restrooms that are unused. For example, the last restroom you visited had a sink where you could have washed your hands.

Your urinal privilege has been pissed away.

Right so how do people plan to sell this? "Hey 49% of the population, we are going to make a basic need more difficult for you and you get nothing in return".

You don't have to. Nobody votes on this shit. You just start building buildings with a large number of private, all-gender stalls like we've been doing in limited quantities for a long time. And most wouldn't care that strongly, or might even appreciate the added privacy.

Wow tell me more about this country that has no building codes.
