I was in favor of unisex bathrooms, but someone pointed out that women are constantly harassed by men and the only safe way to escape unwanted attention is to retreat to a place that men basically cannot enter.
That is, it can be unsafe for a woman to tell a man to leave her alone, or that she's not interested, or similar. She can go to the bathroom though.
I don't know if it differs outside of Canada but "unisex" means single occupancy just like a toilet at home. Where TF are unisex bathrooms where both genders collect en masse a thing? That's just asking for sexual harassment.
Some workplaces have "all gender" restrooms with multiple stalls. Intel is one. Men and women can use it, but IME I've only ever seen men use it to poop in peace.
That is weird but workplace I can kind of give a pass to because assuming you have to sign in to access them there's some safeguards in place.
It's in the office area, which you need to scan your badge to access, so there's that.
In Europe each stall has actual walls and the doors are actually doors. So mixing is fine, because everyone has actual privacy.
How many toilets are in your house?
As long as there are urinals. No urinals then I'll piss on the wall.
Do you have a urinal at your home, or do you piss on the wall?
Except old dudes just use those bathrooms to take dumps all day so it always stinks in there.
Them: Using a toilet for an intended purpose
You: How very dare you 😱
Lol, I really don't care. I'm a cis gendered dude and I'm completely comfortable using the men's bathroom. It just defeats the stated purpose to have a 3rd bathroom for people who feel uncomfortable in the other 2.
Side note: for the love of god if you shit at work clean up after yourself. Bring baby wipes if you have to.
Don't tell the fascists that the bathrooms in their homes are unisex.
Stop splitting kids by genitals too. No need to divide people early, it just creates...this.
Republicans are obsessed with genitals. It's very creepy...
patriarchy enforces itself on boys starting as early as when they're five (that's when i was first told boys and girls can't be friends). the patriarchy supports the types of people who are consistently republican. republicans consistently step in to defend and enforce patriarchy. if you're familiar with the shit Akademiks got caught doing recently, that's… that's how patriarchy enforces itself on boys when they're 13-16. it's republicans doing the grooming, and republicans accusing us of grooming. and so we are clear, i am not letting the democrats off the hook here. their tolerance of intolerant philosophies is actively harmful to our survival effectively they groom us to be groomed for our patriarchal roles
My fifth grader is going to go through his “human growth and development” series this spring in school, and they’ve stopped separating them by gender and everyone is all in the same classroom. Very different than when I did it in the mid-90s. It’s especially good because there’s kid at school who is nonbinary and I know of at least one other who is questioning.
Try this one European secret, also no more gaps around the stall doors please.
I’ve heard the argument that as soon as there is one common bathroom, women will get stalked and raped in there….
Sorry to burst your bubble but if someone wanted to attack you, it’s not a triangle dress on a sign that would have stopped them.
"You're right! And that's why we are also outlawing so-called 'trans women' from entering them!"
There's a restaurant near me that doesn't want to do unisex bathrooms because politics. Even though they're single occupancy.
But if someone is waiting for the gender-specific bathroom, they'll regularly tell them they can just use the other one.

Oh you see that at bars all the time. Utterly stupid.
When I was at university in the late 2000s they did that with the university toilets, there was just a row of them off a corridor, all self-contained with a sink in everything, half of them were male and half of them were female, but there was literally no difference. No one ever paid any attention to the signs on the doors. No one ever cared back then.
I went to an Alamo Drafthouse once with an interesting bathroom set up.
When you walk up to the restroom, there's a large bay of sinks. To the left is a door that leads to a room of urinals and to the right is a hallway of stalls. Everyone just goes where they need to and since the sinks are out in the open where everyone sees and passes by, there's more social pressure to wash your hands.
Bonus tip: If there's no witnesses around, you can put an official-looking unisex bathroom sign on any stray bathroom. Most people aren't gonna question it.
