Women need a gendered space to keep men out, simple as.
And you want it to be the bathroom?
You want men using the bathroom while women are in there? How comfortable do you think a woman would be with men marching in and out of the same restroom with them? Do you actually know any women?! Maybe there's someone you forgot to ask?
Oh, forgot I'm on lemmy. This simple take will somehow mean I'm anti-trans. 🙄
Honestly I don’t care if the toilets themselves are private. Why are common sinks a problem?
The bathroom is for dumping your shit and piss, washing your hands and getting out. I don’t understand why it’s some kind of hallowed ground to some people.
