    The parking lot is peak gender neutral restroom though. Less accommodating to women but I know a lot who still manage.

    Can we just get a bathroom design where they are a wall of stalls with a urinal and toilet inside and the hand washing station is on the outside without a door blocking the path? I hate bathroom doors after washing hands, especially when they don’t have a way to open the doors without touching the handle. Just put the sinks outside the bathroom.

      No one needs urinals.

      Case in point: No one has one in their home.

        Ah but the toilet sitters do appreciate how much less urine is on the seats and around the bowl. I would have a urinal in my home if I was to remodel my bathroom. They are convenient.

          If you splash urine all over the place when peeing you’re sitting wrong.

          You can also just sit to pee, so that there’s less urine on the seats and around the bowl. No need for a urinal, which also has splash back.

        Home bathrooms are single-occupancy, plus most people don’t have the room. They’re definitely beneficial for higher volume places as add much more capacity for less space, and act as an “express lane” of sorts.

        That’s a bad argument. How many people have hundreds, maybe thousands of people using their toilet every hour? Urinals are made for high traffic areas, where large numbers of men need to pee, and they also save water by not needing to be flushed every time.

      I have been to places with this layout.

      Private stalls. Sinks and hand washing open and visible to the hallway. Nobody feels threatrned or uncomfortable.

    I love the unisex bathrooms at the Kansas City airport!

    Floor to ceiling stalls that I don’t have to dance around in to open and close the doors. Large open spaces to move between stalls and the sinks.

    Sure, the open stall count and lights aren’t reliable and the workmanship on the sinks and soap dispensers is pretty crummy, but the layout and convenience are fantastic!

      And it’s not like there are only unisex bathrooms there. It’s easy to choose another one if you prefer.

      But why bother. They’re more private than most other public bathrooms in the US. 🤷🏻‍♀️

      I fly through KC often and the gender neutral bathrooms are right past security, so I go in there nearly every time to at least wash my hands. There used to be a tiny jolt of surprise when I saw a man in there just because I’ve been so conditioned against seeing that for over 30 years, but that’s gone away because why tf do I care who sees me wash my hands?!

      I hadn’t considered how much space you can save, how much better you can plan for traffic, by not having 2 separate areas.

        Not to mention balancing the demand, more toilets instead of urinals, and more privacy.

        Not to mention that they are inclusive just by their design.

    I insist that we should figure out who can go in a grayhound bus restroom.

    Is it for men? For women? For trans or LGBTQA? Who?

    We need a “if you gotta go, you gotta go!” Law.

      to be fair, communal bathrooms were more common before capitalism.

      She’s okay with her bathroom being for men and women. What she really means is she doesn’t want trans people to use the same bathroom, and she would not invite trans people into her home. But don’t worry, no trans people want to be in her home, either.

      She pisses and shits outside in the driveway.
      Her neighbours aren’t happy.

    Airports are infrastructure buildings. This is like seeing a billboard telling you not to hatecrime gay people and boycotting the highway.

      Wait, gay people are allowed to use highways? Next you’ll be saying gay trash is mixed with my trash in the truck. My pearls have been clutched so hard they’re powder.
