    Gendered bathrooms should not need to exist because bathrooms should have some dammed privacy.

    In the US, there’s a door for boys and one for girls. Behind each is a giant room with some sinks and some toilets that may as well be using cardboard and tinfoil for privacy.

    Go somewhere more pleasant like Sweden? You have a short hallway with 3 or 4 doors on each side, and behind each is a small restroom including a sink and a mirror.

    Every real and maga-hallucinated bathroom problem largely solved.

      And if you wanna save money on too many sinks and such there is already a solution for that. Many places have the sink and mirror outside the bathroom and shared between both gendered bathrooms.

        If you want to save time, money, and water, one of my favorite venues has toilets that have sinks on top of them so the water used to wash hands is collected in the tank as grey water to flush the toilet.

      I love the idea behind gender neutral bathrooms, but I really wish they weren’t just a band-aid on the problem that is disgusting American bathrooms.

      I didn’t realize how much better it could be until I went to Japan. Floor to ceiling walls, doors with curvature where the door and wall meet completely eliminating door gap, buttons to play music or water sounds…wtf America. Might as well be pissing in a prison in some bathrooms here.
