I'm confused. In what way to universal toilets (toilet and sink in one self-contained room) not allow for the biological needs of women? Why are girls in schools getting UTIs because they're so scared of peeing in universal toilets? Why don't these work for trans people and NBs?
Is this anything other than just conservatives being transphobic and wanting to keep traditional toilets alive? I feel like I must be missing something here
As an aside...
My dad's church has just been refurbished with this style of toilet and he is very against them, but he's also against trans people so..
I honestly believe there is no real problem out in the real world with this. It's just the media who is making this shit up to make people fight amongst themselves.
There should be no gendered bathrooms at all and everyone needs to grow the fuck up about performing natural bodily functions in the presence of anyone.
Most toilet facilities in England have a shared washing up area so in most cases it would be prohibitively expensive to convert older ones to having a basin etc in each stall. Newer buildings tend to build in single person toilets which are then universal. I think the fear for some comes from having shared washing areas.

Fear which is of course based on ridiculous fearmongering from transphobes and completely divorced from reality.
You know how I know you're a man?
You know how I know you're a bigot?
Yep! I see zero problems with a woman sharing a small space with strange men.
So yeah, you're a man or you might have seen a woman's point of view. Do I get to call you a misogynist?
You're not necessarily wrong, but also that wasn't an argument made in the article so I don't think it's relevant here
