Entirely predictable. Republicans, the "pro-life" party, couldn't care less though - it's the good kind of people trying to end their lives.

This is why we say "the cruelty is the point" because this is where that cruelty leads.

Its particularly annoying because single unisex bathrooms are superior and solve all these issues, but then there wouldn't be anything to bitch about for the right

unisex bathrooms are superior and solve all these issues

Unisex bathrooms tend to be single-occupant, which is less desirable in high traffic areas. Imagine a baseball stadium or movie theater without the rows of stalls or piss-troughs.

I mean as long as you had full floor to ceiling stalls I think it would be fine to have un-gendered bathrooms with stalls, there's no real reason to segregate the sinks

Floor to ceiling stalls are much harder to clean. The gaps underneath allow for water to drain out when washing everything.

Having cleaned bathrooms before, I’m not sure how you envision it happens. Do you imagine they attach a host to the sink and just spray it down?

And even if that was the case, floor drains exist.

I don’t understand why you are choosing this hill to die on, this is a solved problem. The majority of European stalls employ floor to ceiling design, and have for many years.

It was a casual remark, not a hill to die on. That’s entirely your read!

Ah, thought you were the other commenter as well, apologies. One day I’ll learn to check usernames

It was a false statement and you were using it as a cudgel against inclusive bathrooms.

You can have stalls with gaps under then, that also protect privacy. Like a 15cm gap under the stalls and no gaps around the doors and the chances of accidentally seeing something you shouldn't are practically zero.

A gap allows a perv to video you with their phone, just need like 5cm to do it.

Here's a calm reminder that the restroom is not a masculine or feminine place. it is a place to piss and shit, and also to wash one's hands and face. if you leave a mess you are a monster. if you are homeless, you are entitled as the rest of us, but you may not leave a mess.

I'm a Pro Life Republican trying to Save The Children and WHO CARES?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
