They were worried about exterior pedophiles this whole time when the interior pedophiles were the problem the whole time!

This guy just solved right wing politics

My uncle has a male pictogram on his bathroom door and a female on the door to the kitchen.

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 82 points 3 weeks ago

If he ever enters the kitchen he becomes genderfluid

[-] BassaForte@lemmy.world 46 points 3 weeks ago

Ah shit that reminded me to change the gender fluid in my car. Thanks.

[-] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 weeks ago

I’ll give you some gender fluid 🤭

[-] Godnroc@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I wouldn't trust them, might steal your face!

[-] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 34 points 3 weeks ago

Needless to say, aunt shits in the woods

[-] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 56 points 3 weeks ago

No, she shits in the kitchen.

What else are garbage disposals good for

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 13 points 3 weeks ago

It’s just a bougie poop knife

[-] muffedtrims@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Your family has a poop knife too?

[-] dumblederp@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

many fist sized chunks of uncle.

[-] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I see the uncle has a fine taste

Is anybody honestly against single occupancy gender neutral bathrooms? I always took it to be a matter of multi-occupancy bathrooms.

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 38 points 3 weeks ago

here is an example. im not educated enough to know the specifics, but this would bar single occupancy gender neutral bathrooms in most cases except when the building is too small it seems.

the fact that it is going to legislation at all is of course absurd and obviously just anti-woke posturing. if the government cares about “dignity and privacy” they’d ban communal bathrooms in the first place.

[-] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 6 points 3 weeks ago

Pretty sure it doesn't ban single occupancy bathrooms. It bans multi-occupancy gender neutral bathrooms - like bathrooms with stalls that share the same set of sinks. Don't get me wrong it's still dumb, but not as bad as you are thinking.

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

okay fair thanks for the correction. i think we can still both agree that it’s obviously just meant to antagonize people over a non-issue in order to maintain a culture war tho 👍

edit: okay im reading through again and i think i was right? and they are banning both? i welcome the insight of others in interpreting this bc now im confused as hell

As part of the regulations, contractors can construct “self-contained universal toilets” which the government said may only be constructed if a “lack of space reasonably precludes provision of single-sex toilet accommodation.”

[-] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

Oof okay I guess it's worse than I thought. I swear they had some provision for non-binary people, but i guess they just hate queer people.

I don't agree with dismissing everything as a distraction. I think some conservatives legitimately do care about this stuff. I also don't think people would suddenly turn anti-capitalist from just not having distractions. People are generally dumb as shit, and most the alternatives to capitalism are also shit because again people are dumb. If you are going to replace capitalism you need to come up with something that's both actually better, explainable to the public, and overcome the baggage of all the experiments that failed.

No, not really.. But multi-occupancy isn't that different. Every stall has a lock, same as out houses.

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

its about the efficiency of urinals versus the trauma of cross-traffic.

[-] BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Trauma of cross traffic? Don't you pass the opposite gender in the hallway to both gendered bathrooms anyways? Does the presence of a sink really make it suddenly traumatizing to be within view of the opposite gender?

Everytime this nonsense comes up I point out communal bathrooms are the problem. Maybe someday people will understand.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 8 points 3 weeks ago

My church has these which is pretty funny to think about

[-] Iceblade02@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

It's a case of efficiency. Stalls and urinals take less space than single occupancy bathrooms - which translates into smaller buildings costing less money to build, maintain, heat, a lower impact on climate and also allowing a higher efficiency usage of land.

Besides, most places that have stalls also have at least one large gender neutral single occupancy bathroom with extra features such as a baby station and disability adaptations.

Unless there suddenly becomes a huge demand for gender neutral bathrooms, I don't see why that additional bathroom wouldn't be sufficient to serve people who can't use the regular bathrooms.

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 2 points 3 weeks ago

Someone must be, if the UK is banning them.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 3 weeks ago

Well, they're not. It's only multi occupancy ones, which I'm not sure why they're banning because I've literally never seen one anywhere.

Standard all mouth, no effort needed policy by the Tories.

I believe this is England only. Health (which I believe this will fall under) is a devolved matter and the other governments are thankfully a bit more sane.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 38 points 3 weeks ago

The gender stuff is just a distraction from the resource hoarding and exploitation of the working class. The people in positions of authority or power (like 0.0001%) don’t really care about their religious “beliefs” etc. or whatever else drives them to say they care about gender neutral bathrooms. The only real belief for such 0.0001 percenters is self preservation.

But there definitely are useful idiots in the lower ranks who are manipulated using religion to pretend they’re all somehow morally superior while they’re being cowardly or petty.

[-] One_Dunya@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

Idk it always seemed like knowing that gender is a social construct / or performance clarifies how to resolve the exploitation of people in the working class who have to perform oppressive roles because of their gender. It really is emancipatory as in it allows no linkage of production roles with biological attributes, for starters. And even allows the working class to stop dividing itself on the basis of gender. There will always be short sighted or selfish actors who turn the movement towards bourgeois interpretations.

The most impressive bathroom layout I've ever seen was pretty open concept. It seems strange, but let me explain.

Directly off of a major area was basically a hallway, on that hallway was a set of doors. Full sized doors. One right after the other. Each door led to a room which is smaller than most closets, containing a toilet. That was about it for what's in the room. Of course the usual toilet/stall amenities were available. At the end of this hallway of toilet closets, was a long sink for handwashing.

It was entirely gender neutral, and there was zero risk of rape or any other perceived danger.

I'm sure the closet stall design took up slightly more floor space than your average bathroom stall. Honestly it seems like a small price to pay to have a room all to yourself when you're doing your business.

I'm sure that adopting this design would get cries from the fragile men about their precious urinals. Honestly, fuck them. The toilet does the job, you animal.

[-] pathief@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

You REALLY overestimate how much men like urinals. Have you ever seen an urinal at anyone's home? Men would be perfectly fine with toilets.

yep this is the way

…and precisely what conservatives are trying to get a ban on

They started putting in gender neutral bathrooms where I work. They also put in a few urinals, behind closed doors, just like the rest of the toilets. It’s not even an issue (unless you like checking out other dudes’ junk with the current setup).

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

Reactionaries are entirely silly in world view and dangerous in action.

[-] Spitzspot@lemmings.world 5 points 3 weeks ago
[-] ParabolicMotion@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, I have made several comments suggesting the implementation of single occupant bathrooms in places like schools, and been downvoted into oblivion. Now suddenly, a post like this one sounds like a good idea to everyone on Lemmy?!?

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 12 points 2 weeks ago

weird lol im sorry!?

this post definitely popped off more than i expected. 1.2k votes for what i thought was just a fluff shitpost is crazy lol.
