Americans are so weird.
They're also so dumb that they can't see that this entire bathroom thing is just one giant distraction
No shit. The solution is easy too. Make every bathroom non-gendered with ceiling to floor walls and doors on the stalls and cameras in the washing up area. Add a guard or attendant if you feel like you have to.
are you kidding our cheap corporations won't even make the cheap shitty stall walls in the toilets we do get go down to the floor and they usually have gaps you can see through. They don't make any money on the bathrooms so they aren't going to spend an extra dime to help.
Not to mention nobody can afford a house so when you do get bathrooms like you're describing homeless people move into them. I'm not blaming them either.
I wish we could have nice things like that but i can't see it happening here.
The place I worked at in the UK remodeled all their bathrooms to be a hallway with doors to multiple single self contained unisex toilets, each with its own basin. Bathrooms were generally cleaner, more accessible and more available. No urinals, but urinals are gross anyway so no big loss.
I was really pleased when places here in Canada started doing this. A close family member is trans, and I really felt their pain when going to a public toilet where we had to stand in a line for men or for women. That stuff can make every bathroom visit fraught, especially with the expectation that men will stand next to each other to pee. I even hate that as a cis man. Far better for everyone to form one line with no questions asked and have a private stall.
Well, instead of regulating people’s bodies they could regulate bathroom standards that give people some dignity.
i mean they could just leave us alone and let people use the bathroom they want to, it hasn't been a problem until they made up the problem.
Also true
they might as well make squat toilet.
While that is ideal, there's an even easier solution: let trans people shit in whichever bathroom they prefer and direct that energy towards stopping known sexual abusers, like clergy and most Republicans
Now is not the time to politicize this... We've got the flood and all the other things going on /s
Or, you know, make all your bathrooms gender neutral. Problem solved, if there was a problem to begin with. There never was a problem though, it's all just made up and blown up by the likes of fox News which, somehow, is still legally broadcasting their lies over and over to brainwash the US populace.
It's weird and creepy
Oh are gender neutral and non-gendered different things?
I’m with you, but I’m solving their problem for them.
Oh come on, don't play dumb, you know full well what I mean
So… we agree?
I meant about your question in gender neutral or non gendered
🤷♂️
We're not all like that. Shit like this blows my mind.
The trans ones can 🥴
as if removing "poc" from library and naming ships wasnt a distraction enough.
Remember when immigrants were eating people's dogs and cats in Springfield, Ohio and then they magically stopped on November 6, 2024?
A LOT of Americans bought into that shit and didn't question it at all when it disappeared overnight.
'Mericans dumb.
Oh, honey, only a dumb person speaks in absolutes like this.
But yes, most Republicans are indeed this stupid.
"only a sith speaks in absolutes" is itself, an absolute
Yeah, no.
I'm sure there are exceptions but take a long look at American culture and you'll see that the majority is just... Weird and dumb.
