Gender and Bathrooms

[Crystal7]

I'm curious what the general consensus is on AVEN about gender and bathrooms. Thanks for voting!

[borkfork]

If the keyword here is only. There's a big difference between having gender neutral options and only gender neutral things.

Well, bathrooms are separated by sex not gender but there are gender neutral bathrooms which are commonly called "Family Bathrooms". As for the showers do you mean showers where they have one person at a time or like community shower? If its community shower for like a private company I guess it's up to them but I don't know if everyone is going to want to shower with people of another sex. Changing room again do you mean public or community service? Public meaning high school and community as in local private gym.

I'm curious why the percentages vary for the 3 different types of facilities (showers, bathrooms, changing rooms). Humans are strange.

I guess there's the assumption gender neutral restrooms wouldn't have urinals? Changing rooms are probably the most private yet   (people are very opposed as of right now)

When I saw changing room I thought of changing for PE in high school. I didn't think about changing rooms in stores >.<

Yeah. There's a big variety in there that isn't clarified. I thought of stores because I haven't had PE for 15 years. Also, we called ours locker rooms.

I think it depends on the privacy of the stalls. If the bathroom/shower/changing room has stalls that don't show who's inside and doesn't expose anyone to any other naked person, I support it.

Yes, the key word here is only.

Gym and pool locker rooms come to mind for me.

For the showers, all public showers, so both.

 

For the changing room, public facilities.

I'm not opposed to the idea, depending on the circumstances.  When we're talking about retail areas, sports facilities, workspaces,  academe and other areas with a high footfall fine.  If we're talking public toilets on the street, less so, just on the potential safety issue.

Sure to all three, doesn't bother me any.

I consider "Neutral" bathrooms to be no different than Co-ed. So more power to them if they want that. I really don't care either way.
