Single-sex toilets and changing rooms in England, Wales and Scotland must exclude transgender men and women, according to a new code of practice from the equalities watchdog.

But the long-awaited guidance also says that businesses and service providers have to offer practical alternatives such as gender-neutral toilets for people who do not wish to use services for their biological sex.

I guess I’m naive to hope that a business would rather convert existing facilities to two multi-sex bathrooms rather than have to build and give up existing space to a third bathroom.

There is a solution to all of this. Unitary WCs. Each has one toilet, one sink, at least one method for drying hands and at least one sanitary disposal for non-flushable items. Mirror optional. A toilet brush might also be a good idea.

Communal rooms should go the way of the dinosaur.

That way, anyone, regardless of persuasion, intent or comfort level, can use a toilet in peace. And if they want to invite someone else in for safety, so be it.

All the problems with this solution are excuses, and usually not very good ones.

So, a bathroom ban for the entire UK?

Did you guys see the US speed running a regression arc and decide to try your hand at it?

single sex toilets must be forever prohibited from existing, says actual equality and human rights

I'm curious how they'll handle enforcement. "Please present your genitals for inspection before entering"

Terf island at it again.

Never thought I'd ask this but... how do I determine the gender of my toilet? And how do I confirm it's cis-gendered?

They want trans genocide, they aren't even trying to hide it anymore

Why do gendered toilets exist anymore? It's the 21st century and we don't need them.

... says Equality and Human Rights Commission

1984 Ministry of Truth type shit

I thought that toilets were a primarily a public health concern. If they are not provided then unfortunate things start happening in secluded corners.

how about no more segregated toilets, full stop?

So how are these dipshits going to feel when a trans man uses the female toilet?

There's a simple solution to this that I've seen some bars in my city do. Make all the cubicles and urinals gender-neutral and mark them as such.

Surely the legal challenge against this is already started?

The supreme court didnt actually mention toilets, and said changing rooms may work ( if they have privacy rooms)

Do you want people to pee on the bathroom doors? Because that's how you get people to pee on bathroom doors.

I'm having an argument with idiots here in Australia trying to "protect women". No joke, most of them are toxic blokes who are trying to be masculine. I even got told by one I'm not a man, because I should be protecting women.

In another thread, there was a guy who was posting back and forth telling me I was a guy dictating things.. whilst, I didn't even comment what should be done. I just commented that climbing gyms are running womxn nights for years without issue and it's a non issue is causing some of them to go nuts

In fact, they solved the dilemma entirely by just going unisex (and, the toilet cubicles are full length and mostly soundproof it feels like, so they're actually awesome

wheesht?

All of this is solved with just using more single occupancy bathrooms. Just an open hallway with rooms and toilets and changing stations. Sinks in the hallway.

I once heard one gender critical person who is against excluding Transgender people from toilets cause they need to pee too. He told he would be confused saying transgender person with passing(MTF) in male toilet. He also have a unsual idea of Passing Licences that in his opinion this licence should require the surgery. I don't have contact with any transgender person who had a surgery, but some of these that I know and don't have surgery have 100% passing. Imo stupid idea. Some gender critical people want to ban the surgery.
