This is absolutely bizarre. At least in NA, there’s a decent number of family/unspecified restrooms, which are also gender neutral and usually have a changing station. Some have gendered bathrooms as well. But for stuff like apartments, usually they just do a few unspecified bathrooms as it is easier to do.
This seems awfully unnecessary and expensive just to spite, what, 1% of the UK population?
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.
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)
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?
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.

Who is being protected from what here?
Trans women (let’s be honest that’s who you’re talking about here) are 49% of the population? Wow that’s crazy, where are they I want to meet them
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.
