For me these are two separate questions.. should all toilets be unisex : no. Should they all have baby changing facilities : yes

I agree with @Lola I’m not sure id feel comfortable now going into a toilet full of men , I definitely wouldn’t have as a child / teenager

Gender neutral bathrooms are some of the nicest I've been in. I love whenever I visit DC and seeing all the different ways places have made bathrooms unisex

@Lola agree. There should be baby change available to all, not just in the ladies, but I don't agree all toilets should be unisex. Let's be fair, men's toilets are usually gross, I don't want to share that

@Lisa I used to clean bathrooms at different restaurants jobs I had, it was always a toss up on which was going to be worse between the men's and women's room 🤢

Yeah the changing table should ALWAYS be in both. I'm pissed when it's not

If they actually made floor length stalls that were solidly built, I don't think it'd bother me too much, but I also don't think it's should be the norm in every place. Like, I don't think a bar should have only a unisex bathroom. But they should definitely put changing tables in all and make them well built and actually clean them

Baby changing for all. I don’t want to be around men when I’m asking someone for a tampon or to do up my dress

All toilets should be unisex, with floor to ceiling, completely private stalls. With at least 1 being a gender neutral family bathroom with a baby change thing.

I think all establishments should offer a unisex bathroom & all bathrooms should have baby changing stations.

No to gender neutral bathrooms yes to changing tables for all. I like when there’s one family/gender neutral private bathroom. But for the multiple stalls I would not enjoy sharing with men. Although some are raised right and are clean a lot aren’t. They really get pee everywhere. I also wouldn’t enjoy trying to touch up hair/makeup or fix my clothing and potentially have a man come in and watch me. I’d feel so uneasy.

Gender neutral toilets can be extremely triggering for people who have suffered with sexual abuse and I personally wouldn’t feel safe or comfortable with it. But I do think there should be changing facilities available to all

Unisex toilets - absolutely not Baby changing in all - absolutely yes Dads who take their children out alone should have somewhere to nappy change or even as a family so it doesn't all fall on mum Also in separate baby change please put an actual toilet in there for mum/dad/siblings to use so we're not struggling

In my local town there is a family room with a toddler toilet, 2 changing tables and 2 private breastfeeding stalls which works well. No to the unisex toilets. They can make one and if people choose to use them then they can, but women should still be able to have the safety and privacy of their own space.

I miss clicked. I think they should always be an option; but not every toilet/washroom should be unisex. They should all have at least one change station though.

Maybe its just me, but if I enter a bathroom with a urinal I just walk right back out 🫣

Absolutely not. I'm not using a toilet with random men all around me are you crazy. I would rather go in the bushes than be in a unisex bathroom.

I don't mind unisex IF it's a single bathroom. I shared this on a post awhile back. I thought I'd be okay with unisex restrooms in theory. Then I ended up in a bathroom with stalls with my bil and I was sooo uncomfortable and couldn't go until he left. And yes they should all have changing stations 🙂

My old job we had a female, male, and universal/family. You were able to choose. It was built that way in the 90s. Over the 16 years I worked there I had to fill out many reports involving the universal/family room about teenagers having sex, inappropriate comments, single men watching young children....

@Ellie exactly has nothing to do with inclusivity or gender neutrality, to me that's just an excuse for people to do bad things I mean come on let's be honest here everyone together in one bathroom can lead to many inappropriate things that I would rather avoid at all costs.

The baby changing table!!! My ex husband struggled so much ever helping me in public because there just isn’t ever a changing table in a men’s room.

Guys I am freaked out enough when the cleaner in the toilet walks around and is a man😭 I'd rather prefer not to make it a thing to see them more often in my private space

If men could behave themselves and aim properly I wouldn’t have a problem with unisex. However I get uncomfortable when men, even unintentionally and due to space, block the only exit/entrance to get in and out of the bathrooms and I know other women do too. Everywhere should have changing tables though. Nothing dangerous about that.

Honestly I would love to see toddler/kid toilets more than changing tables. I used a changing table for a year and then it was standing diaper changes. Kid size toilets used for 3 years. Plus a baby can be changed on any flat surface with a changing pad. A toddler really needs to feel comfortable going out in public, they should be anatomically positioned as well as an adult else it could lead to medical issues...not to mention the psychological stress and tantrums.

Every gender neutral bathroom I’ve been in has been a single use bathroom. I see a lot of ladies commenting about not wanting to share stalls with men which I wouldn’t either. But do those exist?

I definitely think there should be more family restrooms, with changing tables, nursing stations.

They should absolutely have change tables in men’s bathroom - but I’m not a fan of unisex bathrooms. Twice I’ve found a camera in them. 🤮

I think there should be one stand alone disabled toilet with a baby changing unit it .. so men of woman can use it, but on their own. I wouldn’t want to think of my fiancé changing our baby around other men 😫 … also .. I think men’s toilets should be for men .. and woman’s for woman …

Not unless they're well kept. I tried using a unisex bathroom, but it was kept like a poorly kept men's room. Reeked of men's urine all over the toilet and floor, and it was just one toilet no stalls. I had to go to a different bathroom at the opposite end of the store which was saying something because I'm pregnant and really really had to pee. But I also couldn't stand the smell with my nausea. The other side of the store had separate men's and women's restrooms and it was like a spa resort compared to the unisex one.

Hell no

If they're individual toilets where only 1 person/family can use it at a time sure, if it's a communal room with stalls then no. Baby changing for everyone regardless though.

You’ve smelt the mens toilets right?

Do you mean men and women loos have baby changing. Absolutely. If you mean it's a free for all with baby changing. No. Baby changing for either men or women to use absolutely. I think mens loos. Womens loos. and then baby changing or family changing/loos absolutely. I love when I can change a baby and also let a child and myself pee at the same time in the same room. It's so much easier than changing one nappy and then changing rooms to be able to use the loo myself of for child to use a loo. They generally are cleaner than both man/women loos. I find parents are more understanding if they are next in line but you have a child who desperately has to go they usually let you go before them. I also know if my partner is taking them the loos are cleaner and I don't have to worry about them stepping in pee.😅

@Ceri-Ann funny how you can't get that as a perfume scent 😂😂 ugh.. ewww
