There have been a lot popping up all over. Even my hometown in the south had a college with coed bathrooms.
I came out of the stall to a very masc presenting person at the sink and was confused. Then noticed the urinals in the corner, and when i left i noticed the “unisex” next to the rstroom sign. Very cool imo.
Remember kids, its illegal to be a creep in public bathrooms no matter what your gender is. The sign on the door wont stop a bad actor and most people just have to pee.
I’ve worked in a place where the two bathrooms were simply labeled, “Toilets” and “Toilets and Urinals.” Then under those were signs saying to use whichever you’re more comfortable with.
They also had full floor-length stall doors and white noise machines. Bathrooms done right.
There are some clubs and bars in my city that do that too. Not to say sketchy things dont happen, but people have always been chill whenever im in there
Those are a thing and are really popular in NYC. It’s just a line of individual private restroom with sinks in the hall :P
(Ps: If that was sarcasm were too autistic to tell sorry)
In Sierra’s Space Quest game, there’s a hallway with two doors leading to restrooms. Enter through either door, and you’ll get to the exact same room, with both doors visible.
I, as a very young teen, thought this was a funny commentary on “given the multitude of races, what even matters the genders of one species?” I don’t really believe they were that progressive - this was in the 80s even before the aids scare - but that “what does it matter” point has stuck with me ever since.
Pretty common in my country, they’re awesome. Pointlessly gendered ones still remain though.
There really is an easy way to make those ungendered
• Add bins in both toilets (period wipes etc.)
• Remove male-focused urinals and replace them with unisex urinals.
• Have both bathrooms have the same number of urinals, same number of toilet booths.
It’s also cheaper than building an entire new room for a third gender and eliminates the segregation wholly. On top of that, now queues are a thing of the past, as everyone can just quickly go to either spot. Personally I’m not a fan of urinals, but hey, as long as either toilet and urinal get cleant quickly…
If a new room must be added, it could be a disability-accessible toilet + have a diaper changing spot for babies. That’s also family-friendlier.
Unisex toilets liberate men, women, everyone. It makes it all more streamlined while increasing safety.
I hope, humans will invent unisex toilets in near future

Do you mean Karens or politicians?
Hah.

now, time to go around looking for unattended public bathrooms and attaching these signs
I was once harassed by a male security guard while using a single occupancy porta potty. We need to stop making excuses for bigots.
Our apartment is very progressive so all its bathrooms are gender neutral.
our bathrooms have assigned seating
All bathrooms are if you’re brave enough.
I was pretty masculine-looking in the ladies rooms when I needed the only baby changing table.
Not to brag, but I have these in my house.
