Summary
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) introduced a resolution to ban transgender women from using female bathrooms in the Capitol, citing “women’s rights” and opposing the “radical left.”
The move comes ahead of Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.), the first openly transgender member of Congress, taking office.
McBride criticized the measure as a divisive distraction from real issues like housing and healthcare costs.
LGBTQ advocates condemned the resolution as discriminatory, aligning it with broader Republican anti-trans policies emphasized in their platform and political ads.
This is how you end up with genderless bathrooms.
That seems like the more reasonable answer
honestly, that would be awesome. completely private stalls. a common area to wash hands or whatever.
I was at a bar that did this. Each toilet in its own little room (no stalls with gaps along the floor and doors). Besides a little initial confusion to make sure I wasn’t walking into the wrong restroom, it was perfectly fine.
No no. I think it was the Stockholm airport, for example. Each private stall had a loo and sink and like 1/2 gaps at the bottom; perhaps in case of flooding. It was the private spa of airport bathrooms.
My family there says it’s less about protecting people of different attributes from our own : they just can’t be arsed to delineate when it makes no difference and costs more to maintain.
Mix the bathrooms, ensure individual privacy, and everybody still poops.
So long as I’ve got regular access to a god damned urinal I’m okay with this. Putem in the stalls, put em nearby, fuck it put em in the hall way just don’t take them away from me.
I get that sitting is probably better for you, but I don’t always want to take the time sit and pee, and I’m tall enough that peeing into a toilet causes serious splash back problems pretty much no matter what.
