Electromagnetic Field

Following the recent nonsense from the EHRC, we can confirm that all toilets and showers at EMF will be individual gender-neutral cubicles, and we have absolutely no interest in policing anyone's gender at EMF.

@emf
Let's have private showers and personal private changing rooms too.
Part of why I hated sport at school and swimming pools.

Also urinals are disgusting!

@emf fuck yes

every time people try to talk about trans people's restroom use, I find myself internally screaming "if anyone of any gender can watch you pee, you designed your restroom wrong"

@emily @emf what you've never seen the bathrooms with two toilets facing each other and no stall dividers? Aka the definition of doing it wrong.

I actually encountered one of those in the wild a couple of years ago i thought they were photoshops until then

@emily unfortunately for some reason the current UK government added a rule to the building regulations which requires gendered toilets in new commercial buildings. Thankfully that doesn't apply to temporary events...

@emily @emf yeah there are so many poorly designed restrooms. Why don't they all just have private stalls.

@ryanc @hypha @gsuberland @th @emily @emf some people have atypical chirality, ryan... classrooms have some fraction goofy* desks, scissors, why not toilet handles? and washbasin hot/cold water taps too while we're at it.

@th @emf the general argument for including urinals is they increase throughout by more that an order of magnitude. If you've only got cubicles then you need many more loos and you still likely get now queueing.

I think EMF are doing exactly the right thing given the current legal situation, which would be farcical if it wasn't putting so many vulnerable people at risk, but in general I'd not like to a general move to pure cubicle

@th @emily @emf that's nothing compared to the infamous festival piss trough. Designed for maximum concurrent users, and maximum splashback

@th @emily @emf and if you're more of the plastic fantastic type of person, there is also the piss pillar. Slightly more private, equally awful
