Gender Neutral Bathrooms

Kachina624 — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 07:21:09 GMT

The mayor of Santa Fe wants to make every public restroom in the city gender neutral. If a bathroom has multiple stalls, you could have a man using the one next to you. Now Santa Fe has a very laid-back atmosphere with more than their share of perverts and weirdos. It's hippie haven. How do you feel about this? I just sent him an email giving him my opinion.

I don't have any problems with it. My bathroom at home is gender neutral.

It's a problem at busy venues where you see long lines to the ladies room and no line for the men's room so it might be a good idea in some places. Kachina, why does he want the change?

No. Never. Every pervert within a 50 mile radius would be celebrating.

You've got that right. Besides that, I don't even like to share a bathroom with a man at home

I wouldn't like to be in there alone and then have a man (stranger) walk in and use the bathroom while I'm there. Same with male friends/relatives.

Another thing to think about... taking your little girl into a public bathroom with men in there. It's a crazy idea!

Will these gender neutral bathrooms have urinals along a wall for the guys to walk up to & do their business or would the guys have to use a stall?

Apparently, they're all stalls.

It doesn't really bother me.

But then, we had a unisex bathroom on my dorm floor at college, back in the early 1980's.

The floor was unisex as well, and was then called the "Social Awareness Corridor". It was really great, as there was a nice mix of different lifestyles among us. 8)

Kinda ahead of it's time, and since no one wished to go down to the 3rd floor and then down the hall to use the 'appropriate' bathrooms (especially when it was urgent, LOL), we all just used the one in the middle of the 4th floor.

ETA: although I'm way more private now than I was at 18, so...

Guys have to use a stall anyway, for #2.

Maybe ,if the guys have to wait for a stall to vacate at a busy place so they can use it, there will be more restrooms?

No, I don't like the idea at all. Yes, we share bathrooms at home with each other but we aren't in there at the same time, we each have our own enclosed toilets and I also know him.

No way I would use a public bathroom with men in it. I don't even like to use one with women in it. I like to P alone.

And I assume you're familiar with the moral fiber of the people who use it, unlike a public facility.
