Unisex toilets

http://www.themercury.com.au/article/2011/06/10/236431_tasmania-news.html[^] I don't see the big deal. I'd use a unisex toilet, I could care less. Do they exist commonly anywhere else ? Not America, obviously, Americans tend to be uptight. What about Europe ?

I remember a club in Manchester with unisex toilets (urinals were in a separate area of the toilets for modesty) and it worked very well, good use of space and it seemed that people behaved well. Churchills if I remember correctly.

Go to Amsterdam on a Saturday night. The local authority drop off street toilets early in the evening. They are star shaped plastic things, and within each recess of the star is a unisex urinal. There is no door, you just stand in the street and pee, using the arms of the star as the privacy zone. (It is assumed that from behind there is nothing offensive to be seen). Women either push up close and straddle if facing in, or, as I have seen the majority do, present themselves backward to it and bend over slightly. I think it a great idea, it keeps the piss of the streets and out of the canals, and is carted away each morning by the city workers. Here is an example[^]

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.

There used to be (may still be for all I know, I haven't been there for 17 years) a club in Morecambe called The Carlton which had nowhere near enough female toilets. They always used the cubicles in the gents, and I saw many use the urinals too. And once in a pub in Lancaster I was using a urinal, my mate was in the one cubicle in the gents having a sit down when another bloke came in with his girlfriend who was desperate but trying to avoid the queue in the ladies. So she used the urinal next to the one I was using. I think in both cases above alcohol may have reduced the natural inhibitions. At festivals where there are nowhere near enough toilets for anyone the fences are used be men and women alike. I don't see the problem, OK some weird people get over excited by women urinating, but some get turned on by women's feet too and there are plenty of unisex shoe shops.

I remember reading some time ago about a new exhibition center being constructed. The center's principle users were the local orchestra, opera, and theatre companies. The 'facilities' were designed to adapt to the anticipated ratio of men/women at each event with movable walls and modular fixtures.

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.
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.

Sounds like our local Wal-Mart. The automatic water faucets are mis-calibrated, however. You have to cover the sensor with one hand while you rinse the other :thumbsdown:.

Men urinate on the seat and Women leave the seat down. It is a fundamental flaw in the system.

At bars/restaurants here in Chicago, if the restrooms are single occupancy, both are unisex. I have found these to be very clean! However at one bar there is a Ladies and a Ladies/Mens. Wasn't this on The IT Crowd?

No, I use the sink. I was just making a generalization.
