    As Gerard points out, toilets not segregated by gender, and apt for use by persons with or without a disability, are common in smaller establishments where there is not the space, or the number of customers to require, multiple toilets. And of course gender-neutral toilets have always been standard on trains, airplanes, etc and in private homes. So there is nothing radical or unfamiliar about the idea.

    It's just a matter of efficiency. If you need just two or three toilets and you have the space, it makes sense for every toilet to be accessible to all. But if you're a sports stadium or a theatre or similar and you need scores, if not hundreds, of toilets, kitting them all out so that they can be used by wheelchair users, parents wishing to change a nappy, etc, takes up an awful lot of space and costs a lot of money. As already pointed out, you need enough toilets for the disable, the nappy-changers, etc; you don't need every toilet to be suitable for everyone. Requiring that makes no more sense than requiring every seat in a theatre or sport stadium to be wheelchair-accessible.

    Reading between the lines, beeker, you want to discuss an entirely different matter — whether stripping someone of citizenship is an incidence of discrimination against them, or possibly against their children.

    It's a good question. Why not open a thread about it?
