So the Students' Union wants all toilets to be available to all sexes.

Hope they've written a clear set of rules re the toilet seat

[jno]

I've got unisex toilets at home and it causes embarrassment neither to family nor to visitors. The seat rules remain contested, however.

[admarlow]

why wouldn't you pander to the minority and ignore the masses, makes prefect sence to me.

[daffy654]

Does this mean that the men standing at urinals will have no right to object if women decide to walk through and peer at their nether regions? It isn't so bad for women as we have cubicles so all the toilet business is private.

[admarlow]

what about indecent exposure? Which was would the law go?

[Quinlad]

Oh, give over.

They're just students. This is what they do. Leave them be.

[Ethel]

On the contrary, Quinlad - I had rather hoped that students would be not so easily swayed by the political correctness lobby and see it for the nonsense that it often is.♠

[flip_flop]

The trouble is, many university students are merely sixth formers + 1 year.

And this story pretty much proves it.

Yer, let's be 'right-on' - I don't want to appear to be marginalising the afro carribean caucasian asian trans-gender pygmy less abled differently abled lesbian gay confused bewildered permanently offended amongst us.

I can still remember my first year - I was ridiculously 'right on' - I even used to read The Guardian - but I grew up and realised the Toy Town world of Toynbee doesn't really exist.

I think that it's extremely brave of you flip_flop, admitting to once reading the Grauniad.

[ludwig]

I think it's a good idea. Why shouldn't toilets be unisex?

[admarlow]

inc ones with urinals??

[terambulan]

Happens all over Europe......no probs.

[admarlow]

so does not washing and men in speedos but we arn't about to do that...

[flip_flop]

Hamburg
Prague
Budapest
Barcelona
Warsaw
Berlin

I didn't come across a unisex toilet in any bar or restaurant - and we vistied a lot!
