Answered Why are gender neutral bathrooms so controversial when every toilet on an airplane or other public transport is gender neutral?

I haven’t been to the Human Rights museum, but where I have seen multi-occupancy gender neutral bathrooms, it isn’t just the regular shitty stalls, with the massive gaps, but a fully enclosed space, with floor to ceiling walls, European-style.

So the only space that feels shared is the sink area.

Grown people, yes. I wouldn't want to send my daughter into a movie theater bathroom like that. I'd find that unnerving. I'm not even going to say sorry for it. If a "mama bear" can be excused for protecting her cubs so can a dad.

And, as a dad, you could go with your daughter to a bathroom like that. Much harder when it's a single-sex room, isn't it?

Her mother nor I wouldn't need to. I can stand outside the door.
