I went to a board game convention a month ago, it was the first time I've girlmoded for something major. They put their own signs over the bathroom signs explaining that both were gender neutral and the only difference was urinals vs stalls. That made it soooo much easier on me and I was very glad
I'm a dude and i want stalls every time. I HATE pissing in a urinal next to a bunch of other people and get piss splashed on everything. So so so many bacteria.
There are well-designed urinals now that don't splash back. Add to that, If there's a divider, then the urinal is convenient, quicker and imo cleaner because you don't have to touch the stall door or lock to close it and you're not pissing on the seat or sitting down. It's literally no-contact
I love urinals, carefree pissing
And free cake!
That's a breath mint, silly goose.
If I can, and it's clean, I always prefer to sit down to piss. I just want a break, man. Leave me alone for 5.
I think it's so stupid that this is taboo.
I've heard about it being taboo, but I never understood how anyone would even know a guy's doing this.
You can see feet under the stall door AC the recognize the shoes, or you might be walking into the restroom at the moment they exit the stall. That's how you would know.
I think it's dumb too
And how do you know they're not taking a shit?
Real men shit in the urinals.
I want a urinal in a stall
Wish granted. It’s a stall with a urinal but the walls and door are plain clear glass.
As long as I’m not getting splashed then I’ll take it
In my experience public toilets are so badly maintained that I'd rather avoid touching any porcelain besides that of the sink. That's one of the main reasons I go for urinals. It's also often the most direct way to achieve my objectives if my only goal is to urinate, unless there are other people in which case I hover around waiting for one urinal to become less crowded or just use a stall if it doesn't look disgusting.
Maybe you should do something about that UTI
Indeed, I'm a furry and a few conventions I go to, even in red states, have temporary rebranding of the bathrooms to gender neutral for the duration of the convention as a requirement that the Hotel must maintain in order to keep the convention's business.
And since furries are either suspiciously wealthy or poor, but dedicated, it's a wise economic decision for said Hotel.
Which happens to be exactly what the place in OP does.
I had assumed, hence my loosely related story
That is a sensationally good idea.
I don't think only gender neutral bathrooms is the way to go. There should be an all gender bathroom and a woman's bathroom. Unfortunately we live in a world where women may still feel understandably uncomfortable with men in the bathroom with them.
Note: To be clear I'm not saying the women's bathroom should be for cis women only, it should only exclude men.
