Urinals closed in men's toilets

Yesterday I saw a sign on the men's toilets in my local shopping centre saying that the urinals were now closed to increase inclusivity for trans-men. Has anyone else seen this near them?

I hope it’s happening
Either both men and women are to be made trans inclusive or none are.

Yes much longer queues for the men 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
I hope they’ll also have sanitary bins etc there too.

Nah it won't. Every time one of us walks in and the cubicles are full, we're just going to use the urinal anyway. They're going to have to physically remove the urinals before we stop.

Lovely.

Because sure enough, this will lead to urine everywhere, no water to flush it down etc… the smell!!
If you are happy with that level of cleaning, I suppose that’s ok 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Unless they've actually disconnected the urinals, then there's not going to be pee everywhere, it'll just go down the drain as usual.

Yeah, you might not get the half hourly flush if they've turned that off, but most men's toilets reek of piss anyway, especially shopping center ones, there's not going to be a significant difference to normal.

Men don't need to sit down to use a toilet 90% of the time, it means we've got a much less high standard around what we'll put up with. Remove the urinals, and you'll get a minority of men deciding to piss in the sink as a dirty protest.

I haven't rtft but I find it hard to believe that we're now doing things to benefit (some) women that would have a cost to men. Imo though, that's exactly what is needed to make the wheels come off - when men en masse start to find themselves on the sharp end, this ideology will end.

"Men in women's sport, prisons, rape crisis centres, lesbian clubs and dating sites? So what?Remind me what the problems are again?

Urinals removed from my loos? WTF is happening?! THIS...MUST... CEASE...!!!"

@RealityFan it's tragic but it's true!

ffs - had a week of this at work. Toilets are not an expression of gender, but sex (which are different). Functionally designed to handle a bodily function- nothing more. Look at your bits in the middle, choose the door which is most appropriate & find another way to make yourself more interesting 🙄

That SNP MSP who claimed she hadn't checked her genitals, thought she "might be XX", and really didn't consider her sex in any meaningful way (despite pushing a couple of babies out)...just what does she do when approaching a choice of toilet doors?

Imagine the Little Britain guys before they sold out to woke...they'd have a field day with this shit.

Indeed, one of the strangest phenomena associated with this Dark Age is the lack of satirical and brutal comedy riffing on all of this.

It's like the days of Stalin, Mao and Kim Jung. No comedy at the expense of the regime.

Could you imagine Dame Edna, John Cleese, Billy Connelly or Bill Hicks etc self censoring to suck all this up?

No, neither can I. Today's comics, with the honourable exceptions of Ricky Gervais, Chris Rock and the guy who caused a ruckus at Netflix, are a shadow of the greats.

Take a photo of her ‘special area’ and ask a friend? Or give taking a piss in a urinal a try and see how it goes 😂😂

Kirsty Blackman, she assumed her chromosomes were XY.

She's my MP 🙄

You're right, XY.
It was so dumb, I just couldn't bring myself to write it.

Didn't she start a medicine degree but dropped out? Could her lack of understanding of GCSE Biology have been a factor?

Politics' loss, medicine's gain in this case.
