Toilet sign in local garage

We stopped at the garage today and both DD and she saw a sign on the Ladies toilet door. She needed to use the loo (as I did after - we were facing a long drive) and there were also two copies of the sign up inside. The garage has two completely separate enclosed cubicles - one for men and that is the ladies/disabled.

It read:

'Polite Notice. All non-disabled gents. This is the ladies/disabled toilet. Have some respect and use the gents toilet provided specifically for you.'

We were both delighted to see that some people are still supporting women's rights to sex-segregated toilets and my first thought was 'must share on FWR' Grin

Excellent

Good. This may be a bit 'classist', but is this showing the normal common sense of your working people, as opposed to the woke crap of the 'intelligentsia'?

I just wonder what has happened in that garage recently (because the signs have gone up in the last few weeks) to provoke them. I may ask them next time I go in there actually.

I live in a seaside town and it's culturally pretty behind here in a lot of ways (I'm originally from a city) - this is one of the few ways I'm happy to see people not getting caught up in woke bullshit.

Is the men's cubicle smaller or not suitable for disabled people? If it's the same as the ladies/disabled one, why aren't disabled men expected to use the men's cubicle?

Separately enclosed cubicles - so why do they need to assigned on gender?

Trohmaniac · 31/08/2019 19:32

They used to only have one toilet, which is now the mens, but they had an extension built recently and incorporated a new toilet into that. The original toilet is very small, so wouldn't accommodate a wheelchair.

It's a very busy garage - on the road just heading out of town, which is a busy seaside town, and I know I've had to queue in there when they only had the one toilet.

As to why they've separated them by gender, I don't know - that's their call.

I thought the point is that they are not separated by gender but by sex

Separated by sex not gender reginafelangee
Men can be really grim using loos, they pee everywhere, their urine smells, they don’t wash their hands. Uggh. I don’t want to use a loo for both sexes, Cubicle or not.

Yes, that’s what occurred to me - that men have been seen using the ladies/disabled loo and leaving it in a disgusting mes.

Because, of course, it’s the job of someone else to clean up after them.

@reginafelangee, I don't want to use the same toilets as men/boys, whether they are in cubicles or not. They piss all over the seat and floor. If they lift the seat, they leave it up meaning I have to touch a pissy seat to lower it. Their urine stinks. It makes me heave. They don't wash their hands so everything they touch is unhygienic. I prefer my toilets sex segregated. The decent men I know too, in my life, absolutely hate sharing with women too. They respect us
