Can I ask if you be happy with mixed sexed changing rooms

Just that really not loos but changing rooms
Gyms swimming pools
Keep in mind many changing rooms have no cubicles or if they do they simply have curtains like this images.app.goo.gl/H6pdSPuXJiUqjs817

I think there’s a difference between changing villages where changing takes place inside cubicle with family facilities and open plan single rooms without cubicles.

I think another issue is mixed sexed facilities should be clearly marked

I wonder why gyms wouldn’t want to be clear with woman the factiltys are mixed sexed

No, I wouldn't be happy (I've had too many sexual assaults of various kinds for one life to want to be in such a vulnerable situation)

It's bad enough being stuck in a tube carriage with a creepy guy let alone a changing room...

Agree with you totally

No

Yes, perfectly happy.

No. Curtains are not private enough. Whenever I've used a changing room with just a curtain it never closes properly, there's always a gap. Plus the fear of someone pulling it back whether by accident or on purpose.

There's been loads of stories recently about voyeurs and camera phones. Too easy for them in mixed sex changing rooms.

Are we happy with mixed sex changing in high schools?

Yes wouldn’t bother me.

It wouldn't bother me personally, but I totally understand that there are other women have justifiable reasons not to be comfortable with it.

I had this in primark daughter whipped the curtain open

I was stood with my best of British out awful not been back on two years

Not a problem for me. The swimming pool in the town I grew up in had a communal changing area with cubicles in an open area, men, women and kids would wander about in swimwear. It’s been like that since at least the 80s when I was born. Never known anyone have a problem with it.

I’m a rape survivor. I’ve been groped and harassed. Honestly, short of having severe complex PTSD no, I can’t empathise with people with an issue with it. As a society we need to stop being so prudish and get over our fear of naked bodies. Having a penis in the next cubicle doesn’t make it inherently sexual.

I wouldn’t like it. My local gym doesn’t have cubicles.

No, and I don't want other people consenting on my behalf.

No, they have "changing villages" at most swimming pools near me and it's shit. The family cubical's doors aren't big enough for a pram to go through and all the equipment in them for babies is broken or missing straps so I can't take DS2 into them safely.

Luckily there is one with a single sex shower rooms so I use it and push the pram in there to get us all changed.

As long as there's cubicles no problem

I wouldn't be comfortable sending my daughters to a swimming pool where they are required to be changing amongst men and boys. Having seen the behaviour of men and boys around females.

No absolutely not. I wouldn’t use a mixed sex changing room or toilet in a shop, gym restaurant etc. We already have sex segregated facilities everywhere. Both women and men need private dignified separation that’s why we already have it.

No thanks, I'm shy enough getting changed in front of other women let alone men or teenaged boys. They would need to have cubicles for me to us them.

I wouldn't change in a mixed sex facility.

My local pool has had unisex changing rooms for at least 10 years. There are different sized cubicles all with doors and also family changing rooms. It has never bothered me. I have regularly taken my children swimming there and gone alone when it is quiet and also when it is busy. I don't understand why it would be a problem. I can go into a cubicle, lock the door and get changed in private.

They have mixed sexed changing rooms at my local swimming pool, it doesn't bother me. The cubicles all have locks on and all anyone is seeing me in is a swimming costume which they'll see in the swimming pool too

I hate mixed changing rooms. I like to take off my swimsuit in the shower so I can wash the chlorine off my whole body. I then wrap my towel around me to walk to my locker. I don’t want to risk my towel slipping in front of teenage boys who are happy sniggering at women without a perfect body. I also find that my swimsuit drips despite wringing it out and most cubicles are too small to have a wet area (ie where the water from my swimsuit drips) and a dry area. Mixed changing is the worst idea ever.

Surely the mixed sex changing always has cubicles with solid doors? I doubt there's anywhere in the UK with open plan mixed sex changing. They would have no customers.
Personally I prefer single sex but it's not that big a deal.

Are we happy with mixed sex changing in high schools?
I think a lot of teenagers wouldn't be comfortable with that, I wouldn't have been at high school age
