If bathrooms were properly designed instead of having half walls that don't even meet, I doubt people would care nearly as much.

I love the way Alamo Drafthouse in Texas did this. Each stall is a fully walled environment and there's a long sinkway for everyone. No one gives a shit that it's male and female together.

They'd find a reason to care because this is about maintaining patriarchy and queerphobia.

So funny what issues the conservative fossil fuel media comes up with to avoid any climate actions. People discussing genitals before extinction definitely show how Darwinism was right. Humanity will die of stupidity.

if I owned the establishment

removes sign entirely

BATHROOM

"There, y'all figure it out."

"This sign is bullshit. There's no baths in that room! Just a bunch of sinks and toilets!"

Back home we do actually use a "toilet" label for bathrooms with only toilets. Needless to say, my first visit to America made quite a few laughs when I asked where the toilets are so I can wash me hands.

Reminds me of a comedian who said he likes the European way and started asking "where is the toilet?" in the US. People stared at him saying "In the bathroom".

In US introductory psychology courses, one common assignment is to deliberately violate some unwritten social norm. Something that is never stated anywhere, but we all just customarily follow. My favorite example is, while visiting a friend's house, ask if you can use their bathroom. When they say yes, go to their bathroom and take a bath.

I like how we sometimes call them "restrooms." I don't know what y'all are doing in there, but I certainly ain't resting. I'm usually fighting for my life if I actually am using a public toilet instead of waiting to get home.

The sinks are a bath if ya try hard enough.

Oh irrational fear and tribalistic othering, is there no asinine bullshit you won't stoop to, repeatedly?

If trans-men wouldn't endanger themselves by doing this, I would encourage them to chill in women toilets.

But they shouldn't put themselves in harm's way just to prove a point.

We should just treat them right and protect them from this nonsense.

We should be prepared for a fight on that front. The current uproar is about trans women. Put a trans man in power (anywhere) and the shit is really going to hit the fan. The rhetoric will shift from pseudo-sexualized bathroom nonsense to "how dare you disrupt our patriarchy."
