Visited NYC, these are current signs from “women’s” toilets in children’s playgrounds in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

No single sex loos here anymore.

I think you've misread it. The 'anyone who abuses this policy to abuse, assault, etc will be prosecuted

No, it says ‘or in any other way to interfere with the rights of..’. Ie asserted rights to take their penis any loo they like to unzip it.

How very INTERESTING that the places these signs needed to be placed were playgrounds full of young children.

Are men's toilets also covered in the posters, I wonder? And why the choice to put them in public parks, which is perhaps the quintessential hideout for child molesters and rapists?

Can't wash personal property..does that include mooncups..?

I’d presume that’s to prohibit homeless people from washing clothes in the sinks sadly. Obviously compassion is in limited supply. Enough for men who want access to women’s spaces but not the actual female users, nor any homeless people trying to keep clean whilst down on their luck.

I think you've misread it. The 'anyone who abuses this policy to abuse, assault, etc will be prosecuted' refers to the policy that you can use the loo that aligns with your gender identity. It doesn't say you'll be prosecuted for asking someone their sex.

It’s explicitly saying that male bodied people being able to use whatever facilities they wish is more important than girls and women’s safety, privacy and preferences.

To be fair, it says similar on the gents’ so I could self identify as a man to accompany a DC.

Rather than that contradictory load of gobblediegook why not just right, "predators welcome". If you can't question at all regardless of how a person presents then they really are unisex toilets in a kids playground Confused

Interesting that the bit about assaults etc us on the male pic in the first one and the bit about not challenging is on the female side. They've got that right. But nobody will be around to report an abuser to anyway.

The sign contradicts itself.

How can it be a single sex facility and be open to anyone.

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 09/07/2019 22:21

So gender expression bollocks trumps kids safety? Just unbelievable.

But you CANNOT take your pushbike in you ruddy pervert Confused

littlbrowndog · 09/07/2019 22:16

Well that’s all very erm authorortivic. Can’t spell it

But it’s a loo. Why all the rules

Bonkers. Fuck em hope the “ rules” get vandalised
