"Most #Parisians lived in very small #apartments with no #comfort, no running #water & shared #toilets." WHAT?! If that's true, I'm surprised there wasn't another #French #Revolution - in 1970!

I honestly hope every wellthinking UK company, small and large, will support trans people by making their toilets accessible to all genders. If you don't want the botheration of removing a gender sign, just add the other gender! It's the easiest thing.

New toilet? Just add a🚽sign and a tiny bin.

It's hard to believe Starmer's TERF-trusting government is navelgazing into weaponising gender while there's better things to do...

So fuck them and take the power back. Make it safe for all our current and future trans friends, colleagues and loved ones, to do something as simple as pee.

#Tokyo's Meguro Ward has installed #toilets in a public park that can operate without water or electricity. They would still work after major quakes or other disasters.

It is feared that toilets could become unsanitary or unusable when a disaster hits, resulting in a deterioration of public health.

Why are so many Toronto restaurant toilets in dingy basements?
If you’ve been to a restaurant or bar in Toronto and needed to use the toilet, you’ve almost definitely been directed down a steep staircase. But how did so many washrooms end up underground?
