Not quite. People tend to expect more privacy in gender neutral bathrooms. This is a particular problem in America where toilet stalls are built to minimize privacy. Banks of urinals don't really work either.
In general, I think it's very unlikely that gender neutral bathrooms (beyond single stall bathrooms) are going to be accepted wide scale in the near future. If there is some kind of legislation or regulation that makes them necessary or desired I think it's going to move towards multiple small single rooms setup like the multiple rooms in portable toilet trailers.
- telesilla 8y agoSpeaking as a woman, I really don't mind there being a bank of urinals near gender-neutral facilities - helps keep them less occupied. One of the few wonderful things of going to a tech conference as a minority is the amount of unoccupied women's bathrooms.. it's unusual!
- learc83 8y ago>I really don't mind there being a bank of urinals near gender-neutral facilities You don't mind them in a separate room nearby? Or you don't mind them inside the gender neutral bathroom?
- telesilla 8y agoOh yes to clarify! I don't mind them being nearby. Not inside.. that would be awkward.
- exolymph 8y agoAlso a woman, and I don't mind urinals being there... as long as no one is using them. Which isn't particularly realistic if it's a normal multi-person bathroom.
