As we move into a tolerant progressive society, which allows people to live the lifestyles which make them happy, then these are the sort of issues we'll have to overcome. It's certainly cheaper than building them all their own toilets, as they did in a school somewhere in Thailand recently I think.

So blokes could choose to use either sets of toilets then? If I need a pee, use the one with urinals, if I need a number 2 go and stink out the standard toilets. The ladies must be loving this idea!!

what is intollerant about having male and female signs on toliet doors? Everyone is either one or the other, even if the trannies are a bit confused.
why should such a small minority be pandered to?
I cant belive I'm arguing about this

It's not really pandering is it? IF you're a man who feels more comfortable dressed up as a lady then I imagine that needing to use a public toilet must be a complete nightmare. By making a small change to a sign (which makes little different to everyone else), you make there lives a lot easier by saying it's ok to use the ladies. I'm sure most of them do anyway, so it's not really going to change that much at all. |

It is pandering.
Just because a very very small minority does not feel comfortable with the most logical solution for the vast majority it does not mean that things should be changed to suit the minority.
Its just a waste of time and money

Apart from when the girls go to the loo for a chat and a powder of their nose they're now gonna have the pleasure of listening to some beered up bloke having an almighty dump and they'll have the lovely aroma that goes along with such an event! Just because the pissed up bloke see a sign saying "toilets".

But things still suit the majority. It's not as if you're making life difficult for everyone else. So why not make it easier for the minority as well? The word pandering suggests that you think that the minorities lifestyles are less valid just because they are the minority? Why not make there lives easier for such a minimum sacrifice? Also it's only a fucking sign. Which may have needed replacing anyway. I doubt it took long to put up either.

You get loads of toilets in clubs and bars where only the cubicles/urinal bits are seperate for girls and boys with shared sinks and mirrors and stuff. Not much different from that. |

Also can't wait to see the headlines if this goes further a field. Blokes sharing toliets with women surely is a bit of a danger. At the moment women use the women's toilets, blokes use the blokes. Therefore if bloke in woman's toliet quick word with bouncer mean bloke chucked out. Now if bloke in toilets women might think what the fuck's he up to, when there could be a variety of reasons
1. He has the shits and has to be in there most of the night.
2. The bloke's just perving on women
3. It's just by chance that he and you have synchronised toilet breaks, it happens.
Could lead to some rather strange situations. All in all I don't think I'm in favour of this change.

If a bloke just needed a shit he'd be better off using the blokes so he didn't have to queue.

If they want to be recognised as a minority then give them a fucking toliet of their own.

Not really it's quite a bit different, sharing toilets compared to sharing sinks. You know what the state of bloke's toilets are like. Can't see the ladies being to happy about bloke's in their loo's when the locks are broken, toilet roll all over the floor, piss all over the seats.... (I am making a bit of an assumption that ladies toilets are a lot nicer than ours!) |

But if you're in a pub you haven't been before, pissed up, and you see a sign saying toilets, you ain't gonna think, I need to find the "toilets with pissers", you're just gonna go in the loos and drop the kids off! |

I've been told that that assumption is almost definitely incorrect. But if you're in a pub you haven't been before, pissed up, and you see a sign saying toilets, you ain't gonna think, I need to find the "toilets with pissers", you're just gonna go in the loos and drop the kids off!
Which is a bonus! |
