Express and Star article - head of British Toilet Association pushing for mixed loos

I agree that moving to all cubicles would be mad and if nothing else would just increase queuing times overall and space requirements.

Exactly. We already know men have higher risk associated with Covid. At least with urinals it reduces the time they spend in an enclosed space ,and reduces the amount of surfaces they need touch.

This is what it says in the article:

Instead, one-way gender neutral facilities could see men and women queuing at one door and exiting on the other side with individual cubicles in between.

Would require huge building changes and I can't see what covid related problem it is designed to solve.

• Surely urinals are better, you just need them further apart with screens like in shops and a queuing system. Forgive me if I have little experience but you dont actually touch them do you? -

Some urinals have little flush buttons at the top but these are rare in the UK. Automatic flushes set for regular periods are more common. And in McDonalds and som other places There are even water-free eco-friendly urinals.

And I'll bet the head of the British Toilet Association is rubbing his little hands and thinking after having inflicted mixed toilets on the populace 'because of Covid', it'll be so much easier to just say 'well look, it's worked' and carry on with all toilet facilities being male owned spaces permanently.

Why uni sex - the queue would be a mile long, what's the advantage? Another try at disaster misogyny.

Who wants mixed toilets?

Some males. Looking at which males exactly proves quite interesting. Mr Lord for example.

Who benefits from mixed toilets?

Some males. (Particularly since the push back got stronger about females not being willing to surrender female only spaces)

Who believes that females should never be permitted any space reserved only for female people regardless of need because too upsetting for males who want to be in female spaces?

Some males.

Who does not benefit from mixed toilets?

All females.

Ooh look, it's more male supremacism. Fancy that.

This makes no sense at all. Removing urinals slows down everything. It will mean longer queues and waiting times and dirty cubicles with seats left up and pee on the seats and the floor.

I thought they were just closing urinals to keep people apart.
