Bathroom and sports gender segregation should be abolished - Lemmy

I’ve never understood why bathrooms or sports are segregated by gender. Makes absolutely no sense to me and I’ll go to my dying day believing it’s nonsense.

I agree. People are not molesting & raping each other in bathrooms and locker rooms. If they get frisky it’s because they want to but that’s incredibly rare in restrooms & locker rooms. Those are unsexy environments designed uncomfortably for their rigid function purposes. And even as things are now with gender segregation, sometimes people are homosexual so by our traditional segregation logic, shouldn’t they be segregated if we’re segregating based on sexual preference & gender identification? Nope because you’re right, gender segregation is unnecessary. We need to abolish gender segregation.
I was in Seatle recently and was surprised at the number of public bathrooms they were gender neutral. It was just a bunch of stalls with almost floor to ceiling walls.
That needs to become the norm, the only difference between restrooms is that men’s rooms have urinals, and I think those should have enclosed stalls just like toilets do. Then all genders can simply go to the restroom & not have to give a single thought which room to enter.
