Gender neutral toilets at Bournemouth Uni **Thread title edited by MNHQ**

[PretendingToBeAMuggle]

Please can you help me with links/arguments against men in female toilets? (I'm waiting for clarification as to whether this is a post for a third toilet space - gender neutral, rather than encroaching on female only spaces.) But expect to get massive flak and probably backlash. This is a group I'm in on Facebook which promotes being 'woke' and is probably full of TRAs waiting to shout Down and dissent. As you can tell I'm not very articulate but any help to my argument would be greatly appreciated, I'll post screenshots below

An additional mixed sex area is fine, thats my preferred solution. I just totally disagree with making female spaces mixed sex (and it always seems to be the female ones for some odd reason...mens and non-men). Or colonising the disabled loos to label 'gender neutral' or whatever bollocks.

I’m inasi
At position to the op. I’ve read so much on these feminist threads and I’m absolutely on board - but struggling to put together a simple list of bullet points to oppose gender neutral loos. It would be much easier to write a dissertation on it.

Just try asking people if they want mixed sex toilets? No one's ever asked - and that's because the majority would say, no, non, nope, no way.

The only way all this gets imposed on an unwilling population is through a lack of respect for people.

The biggest argument may be around overseas students. Money talks.

I was talking to an academic last week who claimed gender neutral loos were a complete nightmare. The new block she works in had gender neutral loos and overseas student girls were refusing to use them, choosing instead to walk some distance to another University building which had sex segregated loos. She felt very sorry that their needs were not taken into account.

The same will apply to girls from conservative communities in the UK.

Has the University undertaken an impact assessment, including consulting girls from overseas and those from minority communities? Will there be an impact on either student satisfaction levels from those groups, or in the level of take up in places?#

These are the things the University worries about!

Incidentally this is Bristol U

Note the sarcasm in the reporting. The suicide rate in Bristol is shocking and of real concern to students. Disability access in DD's building is poor at best. The SU has disappeared into a rabbit hole as far as addressing real student concerns. Annual spend of welfare = £1 million. Spend on gender neutral toilets = £3.4 million.

DH has moved to a new build office building which has a gender neutral toilet on each floor. No one appears to use them, preferring the single sex equivalents.

Do they have urinals in them? If not, surely that annoys some men.

Do they have sanitary bins in them?

Men use urinals. Women use sanitary bins. Women and men have different bodies and so need different toilets

I got told that I was silly to worry about self-id and women’s toilets because men can use our loos anyway and ‘lots of places are already using unisex toilets and they're fine’. Made me really rethink the chap I was talking to. Am I wrong?

Unisex are not only demonstrably more dangerous, they are also plain stupid PC pandering to a tiny minority.
