Are toilets still allowed to be cleaned by members of the opposite sex?

[PoisedRubyLion]

I see signs saying toilets may be cleaned by members of the opposite sex in a lot of places. Is this allowed after the supreme court ruling? If a male cleaner was in there it would be a mixed sex space.

Only another 500 posts to go😍

🤣

And what about a slightly slapdash female vet who's been castrating all afternoon, and didn't notice that a couple of cat bollocks have ended up in her trouser cuffs? Are you saying everyone should be searched for stray male genitals? Is this what you heartless bigots want?

Imagine if you had a tapeworm. They're actual hermaphrodites

What about plants, eh?

Having googled 'male plants', I have now become aware of the curious (and contested) concept of botanical sexism, where male plants are planted preferentially in urban areas due to the reduction in flower and berry litter but this then can lead to higher levels of pollen in the area.

(One of those slightly bizarre rabbit holes you find yourself down)

Sex matters

To veer back to a cognate topic; the women sent to clean public male toilets (especially in big places like motorway services) have often looked apprehensive and embarrassed and not uncommonly downright scared. Should this happen?

To veer back with you; DH says he has experienced this quite often at motorway services and it is awkward and embarrassing for him if using a urinal, so imagines it must be much worse for the woman

Where I currently am, it’s common to close the toilets while they’re being cleaned, regardless of the sex of the cleaner. I assume it’s easier on the cleaners if they don’t have to wait around for each cubicle to be empty. It only seems to take them five minutes once they’re empty most of the time.

Which is a simple enough solution in most circumstance and would alleviate embarrassment about opposite sex cleaners.
