I’m all for unisex bathrooms and think history has shown again and again that legislation based on identity rather than behavior is almost always a bad idea. Put another way, let people pee where they want, if they’re doing something to make others uncomfortable, most of those actions would be covered by other laws already.
That said, everyone seems to have their own agenda when it comes to shared space and I’m not sure how far we can push that with bathrooms. To make everyone happy we’ll need individual fully accessible unisex bathrooms with changing tables, separate trashcans for menstrual products, and a separate sanitary area for breastfeeding. (others are offended by breastfeeding in a bathroom, I get it, not what this question is about) That really just covers the discussions I’ve heard in the last month or so. None of those things are bad, but everyone thinks their cause is “no big deal” while the total of them all really is impractical.
I think the tests for bathrooms are places like the airport, schools, and stadiums. How would a lot of well appointed unisex rooms hold up compared to two large restrooms? Does everywhere we go need to be home?
So if a single unisex bathroom with additional space makes everyone feel included, awesome. But if you’re using that as the handicapped bathroom, the changing room for children, the private breastfeeding space for those that want it, and the catch all, then someone is going to be waiting.
