Cocks and Vaginas

AIBU to think we should just change toilets and changing rooms from male and female to just Cocks and Vaginas (or vulvas if you want)

No self identifying bollocks. If you have a dick you go in there. If you don't you go in there. Simple.

We can remove the lady in a dress picture and the man picture and just put pictures of genitals on the doors instead Grin

this is all said in a joking manner. Mostly.

Is there really an army of women hating transwomen/ men identifying as women waiting to invade women’s toilets/compete in women’s sports?

ItsNotUnusualToBe · 23/02/2018 23:44

I'll add to the 'oh fuck offs'.

Fuck off to anyone who screeches 'bigot' and 'transphobic' at anyone who believes that men have cocks and women have vulcans / vaginas.

ItsNotUnusualToBe · 23/02/2018 23:45

Jaygee - that depends on how big you believe an army is.

TheButterflyOfTheStorms · 23/02/2018 23:45

I have Vulcans Grin

brizzledrizzle · 23/02/2018 23:46

The toilets at my work place are unisex, it works fine,the sign on the door just says toilet as nothing else is needed.

NickyNackyNoodleNoo,

Great pic, but where do you go if you're circumcised?

ginandbearit · 23/02/2018 23:47

Vulcans .....like it ..stops all the vagina / vulva hoo-ha ...also like hoo-ha for ..

TroubledTribble28 · 23/02/2018 23:47

Jaygee you could either do some intensive research on the matter or wait until womens rights are completely eradicated.

ItsNotUnusualToBe · 23/02/2018 23:48

And fuck off to my autocorrect. I managed to correct the original "mean have cocks".

Not All Men Are Mean. Damn you autocorrect

I don't get it. How is this suggestion transphobic?

If you are a man with a cock you go in door A. If you are a woman with a cock you also go in door A.

If you are a man with a vagina you go in door B. If you are a woman with a vagina you also go in door B.

There is no segregation based on gender.

Or is this idea objectionable because one's genitals do actually determine whether one is male or female?

RaininSummer · 23/02/2018 23:53

Vulcans ha ha.

I'm sure women are just as capable of "missing". If they have cocks.

I wonder if men with vaginas are more likely to dribble on the seat?

Chatterbitch · 23/02/2018 23:54

Some pubs and restaurants now just have individual cubicles which everyone shares, but I always find these pretty smelly and dirty. Is this a man thing, pissing everywhere?

JustPutSomeGlitterOnIt · 23/02/2018 23:57

Fantasssstic idea!

Then 'women with penises' (😆) can keep to their penis-only space, whilst nobody is suggesting any gender for them other than what they wish to be.

Chatterbitch · 23/02/2018 23:58

I think the reason this idea is offending some is because some trans people might not want to publicly disclose what their genitals are, and not should they be made to do so.

However I don't expect you are proposing there is someone inside each cubicle checking that people have entered the right one, so really it's the same as having unisex individual cubicles and can't in any way be policed. No-one is going to demand someone lifts up their skirt to prove they have a vagina, are they?

It's a shame that the "identity as" thing is making life extremely difficult for genuine trans folk who just want to get on with heir life. There must be a way of seeping out the small proportion of dangerous people from the vast majority of others.

ItsNotUnusualToBe · 23/02/2018 23:58

I have a daughter who does a contact sport. She plays against other females who are twice her size but that's the rules and that's fair. If, say, someone like Hannah Mouncey moves from Australia to play against her, I'd be happy to Point out the utter injustice of the situation. So sport is a real concern.

Chatterbitch · 23/02/2018 23:58

nor should they be made to

Time4adrink · 23/02/2018 23:59

I was thinking this just the other day. It’s a great idea. Although have to admit I was thinking rather more crudely of cocks and cunts Blush.
Or we could just have pictures and label them penis or vulva.

I think that anyone over the age of 10 with a penis shouldn’t be sharing my private space without my explicit consent.

Chatterbitch · 24/02/2018 00:01

I agree sport is a concern. I also don't think men should be able to claim they identify as female and then be able to access female spaces etc. But in my opinion and from what I've seen and heard a lot of people are using these reasons to tar the whole of the trans community with the same brush.

The vast majority of male to female trans haven't done it to stare at your vulva.

shouldnthavesaid · 24/02/2018 00:02

Re xx and xy what about people whose chromosomes don't conform to that (disorders of sex development/intersex) - quite a few different disorders... Do they just have to use a disabled loo or what? Or go to a loo closest to what their chromosomes make them?

Jaygee61 · 24/02/2018 00:02

I would use XX and XY, to keep the fake vaginas out of the toilets reserved for people with vaginas that can be used to deliver babies through, and which need to be smear tested every so often.

So someone who has had a total hysterectomy including the cervix would have to go in XY then.

Time4adrink · 24/02/2018 00:04

Oh and meant to add. I don’t think we should be proving what parts we possess in order to be allowed to enter a segregated space, rather it should be assumed that (as now) people will be reasonable and choose the correct space for their body. But gives power to evict and ban those who clearly have entered the wrong space. I.e if I see a penis in my safe space, I can demand its possessor leaves.

80sMum · 24/02/2018 00:05

At a camp site in France that I stayed in about 20 years ago, there was just the one toilet block; no messing about with separate facilities for men and women, they all used the same facilities. There was a bank of urinals (which were partially screened from the main area where the cubicles were) and loads of toilet cubicles and shower cubicles.

I was a bit taken aback at first but soon got used to it and could see the sense of it. I've thought, ever since then, that places like theatres, cinemas, shopping centres etc should use this sort of set-up.

flimflaminurjams · 24/02/2018 00:06

so we needs male toilets, female toilets, any variation toilets, urinals and squat holes for our ethnically variant poopers and floating golden chamber pots for the unicorns.

Toilet talk is taking over MN!!!!!!!!!!!!
