Transgender Issues

I still don't understand bathroom obsession. There are endless places and employment where the different genders regularly cross into the other bathroom. And, now unisex shared bathrooms are common. It literally doesn't matter at all.

Not transgender, but I go into a ‘Woman’s Room’ quite frequently. Golf course has small bathroom huts with two separate rooms, but one labeled as male, one female. If two or more of us are going at the same time I’ll use any open room.

Arrest me.

It’s amazing we actually think about where we piss and shit that much!

This is actually a prime example. When bathrooms are divided up 50/50, but one gender has drastic more representation at the activity.

The Army was an easy example, bathrooms would be 50/50 most facilities, but it was very male heavy (like sometimes it would be 150 men and 8 women, so huge disparity in numbers,) and the women got equal space as the men. So, men would often use the women's rooms, never any issues.

Female heavy concerts, I see it all of the time, women go in the men's rooms because the lines are so much faster. This has been happening for decades, no issues.

I don't think any normal person cares. Like, somebody sitting next to me in a stall is another gender, am I at risk?

I honestly think going 100% unisex/shared bathrooms is the way, I hope they keep expanding in popularity.

If they ever do go to all unisex bathrooms the design should be such that the urinals are not visible from spots where the women would be, i.e. sinks and stalls, due to the propensity of idiot men to "flash" at women.

There are not urinals in unisex bathrooms, it is all stalls. At least that is the case everywhere I have seen. The only open space is the sinks.

That should be unobjectionable,at least by those without an agenda.

Women worry about voyeurism and even rape if they think they might be going into a bathroom as only female there

So they could make sure they have other women with them, but you can see how that often would be inconvenient in the extreme

I would have to imagine a woman feeling safe if another person is in the bathroom dressed as a woman
What is the % of rapes by men dressed as men as opposed to rapes by men dressed as woman
99.99999999999999999999999999999999999%

What? I have been in many cities and countries where gender neutral bathrooms are the norm. Never heard a single woman mention they are afraid to go to the bathroom or ask others to go with them.

Bathroom rapes are extremely rare, in fact statistically it almost never happens, basically they are the safest place. Of all the places to worry about men attacking you, high traffic bathrooms are not somewhere you are going to get raped or even assaulted. You are actually most likely to get raped (as a woman) in your own home.

Why shouldn't men and women share bathrooms?

With only sinks and stalls privacy should be absolute.

We allow the sexes to mix in every other place, so why not unisex bathrooms?

There is zero reason not to. They are better and more efficient in every regard.
