All Bathrooms Gender Neutral: Good Idea or Bad Idea?

Well....that's awkward.
As a landlord & environmentalist, I'd ditch gender separation for lavatories/bathrooms.
Separate but equal costs a lot more money to build & maintain.
People would get used to it.

Because.....
I can't think of one redeeming quality to the idea, it's even a bit creepy.
That's why.

Some people believe that we live on Planet Disney. Keep on hitting them with reality and they are likely to start calling you a mean old pessimist like they do me.

Family bathrooms generally are single stall.So you feel the same about family bathrooms?
And very limited access. I could be in the shower and if someone needed to go bad enough to come in the bathroom I wouldn't care who it was since it would be close family or friends.
In public places I'd rather not have women around. It's not like I'm shy. I just don't want to have women in there with me. And I can't imagine why women would be OK with strange men following them into the john. On another thread women were discussing the dreadful behavior of men in places like Paris and Rome. The problem is that while 99% of people aren't any problem, the other percent can be a big deal. And at the risk of sounding sexist 90% of the problem is men thinking with their little head. What a guy thinks is just a little joke often sounds like a threat to a woman. Because sometimes it is.
People have to go to the bathroom sometimes. It isn't optional. Not providing a safe place is negligence. In a small place a unisex one holer is just fine. But at the airport, stadium, library or any other big public place I want some exclusivity.
People whose gender is "other" can easily use whichever one is appropriate for how they're presenting. If it is really indeterminate they can probably use either. Most people in a gender specific bathroom aren't interested in the details of the other users.

What is creepy about a natural bodily function?

Your view on the world doesn't make your claims facts, just an FYI. You need to back up your views with facts in order for them to be true.

Sorry, the idea is just weird. May be practical or necessary in some instances, but otherwise, not liking the idea.

I'm sorry that you find people's genitals creepy.

What part of the concept of opinion do you not get? Is it the opinion part? Is that the part you do not get? Would it help if we bought you a dictionary, so that you may get comfortable with a definition of the word? Because I think the whole concept sails 5,000 miles straight above your head.

Maybe instead of male and female we should have liberal and conservative restrooms? The liberal restroom has a toilet with paper. The conservative restroom has a coffee can and a slightly used dishrag.

Ignoring personal insults. :cover:
Onto the subject at hand.
I don't see a problem with gender neutral bathrooms. Starting out with single-stall ones (like family bathrooms) is the way to go. Once society gets used to that (gotta break some of y'all in softly), then regular bathrooms can be introduced.
Many of these gender neutral bathrooms are already in place. Bothers you? Don't use them. Stop worrying about what other people do with their privates.

I suspect that there are probably a number of people, both male and female, who would be uncomfortable with the idea of women walking past rows of men at urinals. And, if we make them all stalls, then men would now have to wait longer to go to the bathroom, since urinals take up less real estate than full stalls do. Additionally, with only stalls, I don't think women would be prepared for all the toilet seats covered with pee, since men aren't going to sit down every time they need to pee, and, in my experience, it seems that there's a pretty consistent, and not inconsiderable percentage of men who apparently cannot pee without hitting the toilet seat.
