Comment on Gender-specific toilets to be required in non-residential buildings in England

It’s not to spite 1%. It’s to give two sets of 49% safe spaces from the other 49%. Recent changes in attitude haven’t made the previous need for segregation go away.

Wtf do people do in bathrooms? You go in, find a stall, do your business and then wash your hands. Why does it have to be gendered? If it’s about perverts creeping, what is this doing about same sex perverts?

Have people been unsafe in unisex bathrooms?

  The only unsafe bathroom I’ve ever been in is one where the stalls had not been properly secured to the floor, and the whole thing looked like it was on the verge of collapse.
  
  …All the unisex bathrooms either are physically walled off, or have floor to ceiling stalls with the privacy covers on all cracks. (US)

  No.
  
  49% (ish) non-trans women would like to have a space away from the 49% non-trans men. They probably don’t give a shit where the 1% trans-women go as they’re not the problem.

    Oh sure that seems perfectly reasonable and in addition to gender neutral bathrooms separate ones are perfectly okay, as long as trans people are allowed to use whichever they’re more comfortable with and this right is legally protected from TERF attacks as it has been under the GRA and EA for a decade, but I strongly doubt this is what was meant because this whole thing as always is a dogwhistle to signal trans hate since no one is actually talking about taking away sexed bathrooms.
