They have been discussing gender neutral toilets on the radio and i guess like me it will be news to a lot here would you be comfortable using one?

In recent years, loos have become political. The rise of gender-neutral toilets, designed to help transgender and non-binary people feel more comfortable, has led to controversy both outside and within the trans community.

Gender neutral loos have already been implemented in certain places across the UK, such as Lancaster University" which has them in its library, and students’ union nightclub - as well as the University of Northampton. In America, the White House has also moved with the times.

London's Barbican Centre has now followed suit, with gents and ladies facilities now reading 'gender-neutral, with urinals' and 'gender-neutral, with cubicles'. The move has already proved controversial, with broadcaster Samira Ahmed tweeting: "Give us back women’s loos for ALL women. Why do women lose our space to men!? All women can use ladies loos. This isn’t the USA.”

Another visitor to the arts centre tweeted: "Never seen so many confused and desperate people!"

Of course I'd use one. As long as there are cubicles and not urinals what's the issue?

This. I'm assuming you won't have Ladies walking past you at the urinals so is a bit of a non-issue if you ask me. I've been to pubs where the men's are to the left, ladies to the right and the handbasins in a room between the 2 and I don't really see this as being any different.

Places like my doctors surgery and the chiropractor only have 1 toilet anyway so I suppose they must be ahead of the times!
 
while i dont 'get' the need, if it means some folk can relax a bit more in their daily lives, wheres the harm, and i can understand some gender-different bods being VERY wary of wandering into unknown gents bogs in many establishments.

As someone who had the snip as a lad due to medical not religouse reasons, However I have since always been nervous of taking a piss in a pub filled with skin heads etc.. when it comes to meat heads you never know just what it is that will set them off.

Would i use one? Sure, we all used the ladies bogs when enjoying a village pub lock in or curry delivery.
Whats the difference.. As long as its offered as a 3rd option and not in place of Male only and female only options.
 
Many, Many, Many (etc) moons ago, when I was a young blade about town, In the night club I frequented you'd often find women in the mens toilets using the cubicles as the womens toilets usually had a massive queue and most men were just using the urinals so the cubicles were often free

Lots of bars in Paris where that happens, standing at the urinal and women walk past and if their cubicle is in use they are queuing outside right alongside the blokes. Weird but somehow seems natural as it's not a novelty forced because of someone else's choice.. Also some places have a single toilet and you come out with a queue of women standing outside , can be embarrasing!

However in this country I do OBJECT strongly to be forced to mix in toilets simply because a certain section of society now find it trendy to change ***. There are only two and everything else is a choice that they have to live with not force on everyone else to spare their indelicacies. Who said it would be easy pretending to be a woman or a man even with surgery so if you do it face the difficulties yourself but do not involve me in it!

Me. Fed up being a human as born, I want to be a martian, you wouldn't believe their toilets!!!
 
I voted yes, but wouldn't be happy with young girls in the same loo while I was pissing at a urinal. Also, it would eventually be just 2 toilets for men, let's be honest, the mens bogs bloody reek and I can't see many women lowering their backsides onto some pebble dashed porcelain..
 
Hi!
I was at a training centre in Manchester at the weekend - all of the toilets were gender neutral, or unisex, as I call them.
It was a bit of a shock at first.

They do it in France. OOO LA LA - In Germany Ive undressed with females and shared showers, though it wasn't planned
 
Bloody ridiculous - what next, male tampons? All this 'equalisation' of the sexes is diluting the essence of both. We should be kept as separate as possible. As for the unisex toilet at home, I make the missus go behind a bush in the garden.
 
Some years ago I was staying in a German hotel with a load of work mates, slowly getting ratted. My mate say he's going down to the swimming pool in the basement. Twenty minutes later he comes back and says, "Theres some bird in the pool swimming around stark bollock naked" Yeah, yeah we drunkenly roared. Next minute she walks into the bar (clothed)....quite a stunner!!!
