        There are many different forms of sex people can have in public toilets and so restricting them to just one kind wouldn’t be equal.

        Just have a bunch of single stalls and sinks. Why do we need gendered bathrooms?

        I’m there to take a shit. I don’t care if a woman is washing her hands.

          Not necessarily in the defense of single sex toilets, but I imagine not all men are gentle, and women (maybe even anyone else) would choose not to get peeked at from above by a nasty weirdo. I know, I know, not like only one gender could do it, but if I had to find a reason why one would want to have single sex toilets, this would be the reason that makes the most sense to me.

          Or, you know, people being religious fanatics stuck in the 18th century, but who would be like that in 2026? /s

            Eeeh, first one may not be that removed from actual risk. If we assume 1/10 of population is perverted, then cutting out hetero folks from perving on opposite sex is cutting that 1/10 to 1/100. So the chance some perv will actually go for it is lower. And this is a bigger issue for women than men, so makes sense to be watching out for that.

            In USA that is, in EU we have full size stall doors and walls :|

          People don’t just wash hands in a bathroom sink. They wash their face, groom themselves, admire themselves, apply makeup, etc.

          Also, why waste space with stalls, when you can use urinals instead? I don’t want to wait outside a stall to take a piss.

            The first thing you named everyone does so it doesnt need to be private.

            The second thing is a urinal takes up a stall space so just have more stalls.

            After being to places that do this, I can tell you it works fine.

              I don’t want to mog myself in the mirror in front of women.

              Also, urinals absolutely don’t take up as much space as stalls.

              Stalls are not as efficient space, material, or queue wise compared to urinals. For those with penises and the need to pee, urinals are just better. It would be stupid to remove these.

                Not really no. Because you are now requiring two seperate bathrooms. Urinals dont really save any space, you cannot share it. So one row of lets say 12 stalls floor to ceiling are just as efficient. Only one common area open to the hall way, only one plumbing row (same a a urinal) and only one bathroom.

                This system is more effective and just works.

                Also, you add as many areas like this as the building requires.

                Do you have a urinal at home?

                  Urinals can be packed far more tightly than stalls, so no they are not just as efficient. Urinals are also optimal for high traffic/volume scenarios, so having one at home is not necessary. They’re also easier to clean and maintain.

                    Except they really aren’t that much tighter, nor do I want them to be. Again, you now have two bathrooms so any space savings is lost, if not worse.

                    Funny to read this as I am at a facility right now with open unisex bathrooms and this is as efficient, because if more women or more men show up it doesn’t matter. The everyone in the sink space is working well too.
