I have not, nor will never use a unisex toilet.

Was in the Lighthouse cinema last night and while using their unisex toilet a total babe was walking in at the same time. She went into the cubicle beside me and I was totally self conscious I was, as I didn't want her to be hearing the sounds of my pee pee. So I weed away from the water. Well, the exquisite Goddess next door didn't have any such hang ups and began farting and a spluttering away. Followed by making huge plonking sounds, as if she was dropping slime covered meatballs into the toilet bowl from on high. Maybe she was. I'd have peered over but I quite like the Lighthouse and didn't want to get barred, again. Been in relationships for years and I never heard such wickedness.

Down with gender neutral toilets I say. Horrible things.

This weirdness is why we don’t need men in women’s bathrooms.

Typical, petty response to someone that doesn’t think the same way as you.

More than you'd think, especially now with so many south American folk emigrating here.

There's 3 transsexuals that train in our gym and I kid you not, they are constantly Hawkes at by the 16 to 20 yr old lads who are often talking about how they are ' effin savage lookin mots' lol.

There's no reason why anyone should be bothered by transgender folk at all. It wouldn't bother me in the slightest if I walked into a shower in a gym and there was a female to male trans in there, it has absolutely no impact on my life in any way at all.

Too many people are so hung up on this, er mah Gerd look there's gays in this bar er mah Gerd they might try and kiss us blah blah blah

Unless someone is directly interfering with you there's no reason for their personal choice to effect you.

Rant over lol

Couldn’t care less about the toilets in UCD to be honest.

It must be close to 0%.

It was a petty response aimed at a petty (and inaccurate) comment.

People are entitled to not use unisex toilets if they don’t want to.
It’s petty to bring up the toilet in their own home like it’s the very same as a public toilet.

Gender neutral bathrooms in public spaces are a mere extension of a feminist ideology. That's because unisex toilets are a de facto emasculating feature.

I feel a little bad for you if this is how you feel every time you visit the toilet in your gaf.

Nothing petty about it.

You and the other poster clearly know that they are talking about public toilets. There will be no strangers in the toilets in their own home. It’s not the same. It’s a petty and pointless dig.

I'm sure when things don't 'go to plan' in these toilets it will somehow be men's fault. That seems to be the way of it.

Gender neutral bathrooms in public spaces are a mere extension of feminist ideology. That's because unisex toilets are a de facto emasculating feature. It requires both men and women 'become children again' as regards to sexual instinct/purpose i.e. to express a learned ignorance of sex and gender. As sexually mature adults, holding such an attitude is of course impossible.

Few of our progressive friends seem capable of asking why male and female toilets exist in the first place. This tells you a lot about them.

A person of the opposite sex using a toilet provokes sexual instinct for you?

It's mainly said by people with an agenda!

People being mocked and vilified for their own decisions that won’t have any effect on other people.
It’s sort of ironic.

You don't seem to understand human nature my friend. That's a great downfall in my opinion.

Why haven't you learned? Ideology? Idealist? Still under 21?

France for example has always had unisex toilets. It seems like you have a pretty weird grasp upon sexuality...

What? Because 1 woman in a cinema made noises all toilets should be strictly segregated?

I dont think the weirdness is the cinema experience tbh

Oh please, this entire thread is aimed at mocking vilifying people for their own decisions.

Get off your high horse and take off the blinders. Lots of people in this thread have been taking shots at trans people, and even people who are okay with -using- a -voluntary- unisex bathroom and are acting like they'll be forced into using a giant trough with people staring at their privates.

Seems a bit strange that the feminsists would the ones always calling for unisex toilets considering they're the most vocal group when it comes to calling for safe spaces.

Exactly my point. One side is on their high horse about it while behaving in the exact same way against the people that don’t agree with them. I’m just pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of it all.

I would find it a bit bizarre if my wife stuck an all genders sign on the toilet at home. This is I think the point some are trying to make. It is like putting an "all races" or "all religions" sign on bathrooms in UCD. It's just bizarre. And has anyone actually explained why trans people need their own toilets yet?

If a trans person is born a man and is transitioning to a woman, in your mind should they go to the mens or womens?

I think it's because they don't feel comfortable using the toilets that society want them to use at the moments.

Yeah so has Ireland. Neither country has had signs saying "all genders" or "transgender" on them though. I was not aware that trans people require special bathrooms separate from the rest of us. I'm sure some are transphobic but most people don't care. Where I do care is if my tax money is being frittered away on useless extra bathrooms that are not needed.

Let them choose. I don't see the problem.

Why not? And even if that's true, which I find impossible to believe, how do they have the right to a separate one? Lots of stuff makes me uncomfortable but I have to put up with it. I have to sit for ages in rush hour traffic, should I get my own private road?

Are there any actual trans people on this thread? I would like to hear what they think.
