    Sure having a toilet itself is a big deal for Tasmanian's so obviously it is not a big deal to have a unisex one. ;P

      I noticed that European urinals are like US ones, where everyone has their own urinal, and a little wall so no-one else gets a glimpse of your weiner. In Australia, we have one long urinal and we all just stand there and pee. If they were US style ones, I don't see how anyone could have an issue, and I don't care if they were the sort we have here. I assume no woman WANTS to see me pee.

      I assumed urinals (American or Australian style) would't exist in a unisex public washroom, that it would be stalls only.

      I was HollyHooo but got tired of it.

        I just saw you were writing about a big loss of toilet access to another post as I was writing mine. No big deal and increased wait time. We have the 2 main points straight! :-)

                Agreed. I don't know about other people, but my house toilet is unisex. ;P As long as I'm alone in the cubicle, I'm not that bothered whether a man or a woman used it before me. Although, a bin would be useful as they are common features in a ladies' toilets...

                Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike... me...

                  When I saw Bon Jovi, the ladies toilet had a huge queue, so I was in the mens, at the urinal, and I noticed several guys walking their girlfriends to the stalls in the mens. I'm sure we'd lose a lot of toilet access to unisex toilets. But, I don't see what the big deal is.

                  I don't think there is a big deal, it is mostly tradition. And traditions don't change quickly, unless there is a good reason for change. Festival activities could be a bit different, I guess I don't have to tell you ... :-D

                    IMO unisex toilets without urinals would need more square meters to serve the same amount of people mens and ladies toilets do. :)

                      Understood. But since that's not going to happen: increased average wait time for men!

                      I was HollyHooo but got tired of it and Sebastien was taken.

                            It wasn't always that way here though. I distinctly remember troughs being popular in all kinds of public places in Canada and the U.S. when I was a kid. They still use temporary troughs at some public events. The Costco near me has put in a trough-style sink. One big stainless steel trough with a bunch of taps. Lots cheaper to install clean I would think. Maybe the urinals are next. Cheers, Drew.

                              it is more like your trees have fewer people. Our tree population is pretty much the same I guess, however our human population is like 100 times yours. Per square kilometer that is. :)

                                      I voted in favor of it; they didn't bother to check where I live, so it's their own damned fault if the results are weird. It's a biological process that we all share, though approximately 50% of us find it simple to perform a part of the process standing up, while the other half finds it more convenient to sit down. I can see no reason to subject children to a ritual which emphasizes the differences between genders, rather than the similarities. Perhaps introducing this Unisex approach to a fundamental need at a young age will help to build healthier attitudes toward the opposite sex in both boys and girls. The radical Christian fundamentalists will, of course, see this as the work of Satan, but I have trouble imagining any little boy or girl being sexually aroused by the knowledge that there might be a girl or boy in the adjacent stall taking a dump. That's an image I find singularly inappropriate as a sexual fantasy.

                                      Will Rogers never met me.

                                        Many smaller restaurants only have one toilet, and I don't recall hearing anyone complain about it. I don't see the problem, as long as there are no urinals.

                                        I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

                                          We have such a unisex toilet at home for a couple of years. And yes, it works so far, no complaints, nothing.
