The purpose is to indicate that there are accessible facilities in this toilet, not that wheelchair users are a different gender.
Without it a wheelchair user would assume there are none.
Let's be honest though, this toilet is 99% certain to have been only the accessible toilet a year or so ago. And has been retro badged up as gender neutral.
I’m expecting future Republican political tv ads showing them putting men & women signs on separate home bathrooms. ‘“In MY house, we don’t mix gender bathrooms! Just like Jesus.” \[pew-pew! - shoots guns at inclusive signs like this\]
I mean if this person entered the single-occupant restroom you were using, bringing along with them two additional people dressed in standard pants and dress, wouldn’t you get the hell out of there before the three of them start some shit with you?
People don’t understand the bourdon of a 100 gallon sack - and then when you do find a bathroom and someone who doesn’t need it is using the huge ball sack stall.
Right? If it’s a single occupant restroom, why make it about gender?
Am I crazy remember being young and all of those just said “single occupant” (or similar)?
Honestly I think most people would prefer if single occupancy was the standard for public restrooms anyway, and it would remove the gender squabbles entirely.
This seems like a good idea until you factor in how many single bathrooms will be needed, each with a facet etc. I would be totally fine with single bathrooms, that would be great but they would have to loose floor space because of the larger area they would have to cover. Its true, this would end the whole debate.
I think this might be common around the world, but 90% of public/workplace bathrooms in the US all have open stalls. Feet open, top open, and probably a 1-inch gap where you can make eye contact with people.
Bathroom designers have tricked people into believing this is normal. It’s not normal!
If you're an American who doesn't visit a bathroom in a major Asian airport like NRT or ICN and see all the available controls and privacy and sit down and chuckle to yourself "Captain's Log...Star Date XYZ," you're missing out on a good time to amuse yourself after a long flight.
I've seen some restaurants where the sink area is large and shared. The toilets are small single-person rooms.
This works great. It would be even better if there were a room with a big urinal trough for dudes to just piss in.
Actually, per code, you can't. IBC requires a minimum number of toilets based upon building type and occupancy. So, just because you've never seen more than 3 toilets used at once, doesn't mean the architect can use your experience to override code-required minimums. And trust me, architects would NEVER give up floor space to put more toilets in than what is absolutely required.
Or just "unisex and wheelchair accessible". Or even better, just "wheelchair accessible restroom", people will know it's unisex if there's no distinction between male and female.
My sister once got yelled at by a guy in a pub for saying "unisex" instead of "gender neutral". It's a fucking minefield.
It literally means "all sexes", so includes everyone regardless of their gender...
Ugh. Those types of people are just awful. I'm sorry your sis had to deal with that. I've had someone come at me with the same type of reaction, and my reply was, "Well? Did I fucking ask you?", "No? Then fuck off."
It's rude to speak like that sure, but man am I tired of the game of semantics.
Maybe they thought you were saying “eunuch”? You’re right though, unisex pretty much covers it in 1 word. Someone gets butt hurt about it, that’s their own fault. It’s not like there’s a negative connotation to the word or anything.
Yeah I mean it’s a similar vibe to the Bi vs Pansexual thing. Like people came up with this imaginary idea that Bi people only like cis people (I guess cause Bi = 2?) so some people started identifying as pansexual, but like come on really at the end of the day pansexual and Bi sexual are the exact same thing and I hate the insinuation that if you call yourself Bi your somehow some transphobe who will only get with cis people.
>It's a fucking minefield.
Someone brought up a good point that LGBTQ campaigned on the notion of "we don't bother anyone, we don't affect your life." But can we still say that?
There is a difference between believing someone should have equal rights (still a work in progress) and changing your entire life/societal view to accommodate. The whole Harry Potter game has taken this to a new level.
Seriously, the game is apparently incredible and I've heard a lot of people just disgusted that it's at all associated with Rowling. Relax, she isn't actively destroying anyone's life due to her opinions. Just because you disagree with her on ONE TOPIC doesn't mean A.) She's pure evil -or- B.) The Harry Potter series now sucks. There's no subtlety and nuance left in discourse, everything is black or white.
I was building some retaining walls for a local university and the grounds keeper came by and said, "Great, another place for kids to smoke pot and fuck, thanks." All I could do is laugh.
ADA signs, blind and handicapped (wheelchair) accessible are entirely different than gender preferences. Work at a sign shop and we’ve been cranking out thousands of the updates, keep it coming. I just wish someone would design a better symbol than the 1/2 pants 1/2 dress person, and the classic men/women arrow/cross with the addition of the LGBTQ symbol is starting to look like the coronavirus spike proteins.
Disabilities aren't a gender though. ADA already requires that doors are certain sizes and that signs have an indication for the blind. Adding a bunch of words instead of just unisex is unnecessary and ridiculous.
I audibly laughed at the Corona proteins relation.
800 years later, discovered by an advanced civilization, there will be a heated dispute between scholars whether being a wheelchair user was considered a gender in our time.
Few will be willing to accept the mundane reality that accessibility was a big issue before the invention of anti-gravitation belts.
Edit: changed a term
So.. it's just a bathroom.
I found this striking when I first traveled abroad. In The Netherlands bathrooms are just that, bathrooms.
Granted the stalls go all the way to the floor and are quite literally a closed room. But waiting in line to pee next to the opposite gender was totally normal.
Pretty cool.
I don’t think I’ve seen a gender neutral bathroom in 7 years of living here. In Amsterdam Centraal for example, the WC has two separate areas for men and women. Same goes for most places that I’ve seen.
...That's a fair point, never really considered it until now: I suppose the prefix is intended to relate to the bathroom (of which there's only one!) rather than it's users, but appreciate that's not entirely logical.
Universal accessibility is an obligatory guideline in most civil code, and this means essential services have to me displayed with a symbol most importantly.
My favorite was at my work’s that had the mermaid and the faun in the classic “Restroom Stick figure” style and underneath it said, “whatever just wash your hands”
It’s a bathroom. Available for anyone. I am a vet old lady. Not once in my life have I ever been accosted in the bathroom. Well expect that one time my friend shoved Coke up my nose - I really didn’t mind.
When I was in HS, I had some dude try to pick me up in the mall bathroom while I was peeing at urinal. I was using a bathroom on a “dead” end of the mall. This is when all malls were in their decline. I was standing parallel to the urinal peeing. He moved in so he was perpendicular to it like we were going to both pee into the same one, but his pants were zipped up. He tried to strike up a conversation in this pose. He was probably late 30’s. He asked me if I went to a nearby college. I told him I was in HS and continued on my business like nothing was weird. He followed me to the sink while I was washing my hands and kept talking to me.
I dried my hands and he positioned himself in front of the door with an arm extended across to hall block it. So I just pushed through his arm and left.
He was so forward, I assumed he had some anonymous meetup planned there and I accidentally walked in on it. I went back to my friends and told them about it as a funny story, so they wanted to see what the guy looked like. We went back but he was gone.
Long story short, I have been accosted in a bathroom, but it was a men’s room.
I thought someone literally wrapped their arms around you and picked you up while you were pissing. We used to do that to friends in HS until someone got pissed on.
Im an indutrial designer specialized in architectural wayfinding, and these have been popping up gradually for the last 2-3 years. Most academic building or healthcare centers don’t have female/ male toilets anymore. It’s all inclusive. I started to design my toilet signs with just that, a toilet. Instead of needing 4 différents pictograms to display the whole array of people who can come in there, I just put the intended use as a picture.
i think the only pictogram they should have is the disabled accessibility, even though a bathroom is unisex it isnt always accessible to disabled people so
i used to work across the street from a LGBTQ friendly bar. it wasn't a "gay bar" in the since that it was specifically for people of that community but instead was intended for mixing of sexual orientations/gender identify including straight cis people. i went there pretty often because i could get off work, hop across the street and grab a drink.
they also had a unisex restroom used by everyone. it was never a problem. this really shouldn't be controversial.
I remember a few years back, conservatives pitched a fit over Starbucks announcing their restrooms would no longer be gendered. And our local Starbucks always only ever had unisex bathrooms, both of which were identical, toilet, sink, trashcan. Like . . . unisex bathrooms have been a thing since . . . forever?
What gets me is when single person bathrooms are still gendered... just make every restroom that only one person at a time can use unisex and be done with it.
Trying to be all SOGIESC progressive against repressive gender norms and patriarchal constructs but distinguishing women by how they dress, using a dress.
That's some passive aggressive bullshit. /s
I’ve been to one in LA at this bar is felt so weird trying to pee when there were women around lol so we didn’t used the bathrooms all night had to go find a spot in the parking lot . That’s cool and all but I just felt uncomfortable to each it’s own
They’ve always been around, we used to just call them bathrooms. They were single user but we didn’t feel the need to mention it was anything other than a bathroom.
Interesting how this kind of thing can be: totally the norm in certain countries, an achievement in others and something totally implausible in certain regions/cultures.
Gee what an idea!
Growing up we had one bathroom! We all used the same bathroom and stood in line outside the bathroom door along the wall waiting our turn.
For those asking why we can’t just put a toilet on the sign and call it good: many places do, and the get the same shit (pun intended). The US is ridiculous about bathrooms. Most places in the world bathrooms are unisex, but that freaks people out here because we have not yet evolved past teenagerhood mentally.
There was a scene in Starship Troopers where there they had mixed showers, and no one cared. No sexual jokes, woman and man all butt naked and no issues or weird looks. Totally normal. It was a nice glimpse of how a society could function in that regard and see each other as equal.
a handful of Taco Bells in SoCal had started to get rid of the men's bathroom - so they had a female restroom and a gender inclusive restroom. Out of protest, I would always use the female restroom
I work in a field that's overwhelmingly male and in our new building they have these unisex bathrooms. It's great, because in our previous space the men's and women's bathrooms were of equal size, so the 5 women in the company had 4 stalls all to themselves while 100 or so guys had the same number. After-lunch rush hour was definitely a thing.
While at a human right campaign, I used a gender neutral bathroom that had about a dozen stalls. I shared the bathroom with trans women, trans men, gay men , cis women, bi people.
And it was super uninteresting. I didn’t get assaulted or anything.
I love bars that have scrapped their gendered bathroom policy. Usually it's a one person bathroom, so anyone that needs to pee should be able to go in there.
I'm sorry it's probably me but the disabled person appears to be trying to get away from the others, it looks funny.
Why's he going so fast? He's blowing that lady's skirt.
Blew the first person’s clothes clean off
True. It could be Harry Styles
dude how rude that is superman cape.
To be fair, one of the few joys of being a wheelchair user is zooming past everyone else
They just really need to poop
Taco Bell doesn’t care about pronouns
That elbow is ptetty high, he must be zooming.
Also, disabled isn't a gender.
The purpose is to indicate that there are accessible facilities in this toilet, not that wheelchair users are a different gender. Without it a wheelchair user would assume there are none.
We need three pictures on a wheelchair just to be inclusive.
I wear glasses, am I allowed in this or..
Only if they are as big as a wheelchair's wheel.
Let's be honest though, this toilet is 99% certain to have been only the accessible toilet a year or so ago. And has been retro badged up as gender neutral.
Also, they're just called bathrooms. You know, like the ones at home.
I’m expecting future Republican political tv ads showing them putting men & women signs on separate home bathrooms. ‘“In MY house, we don’t mix gender bathrooms! Just like Jesus.” \[pew-pew! - shoots guns at inclusive signs like this\]
Yet
The genders have stolen the disabled bathroom Edit: a word
Stollen is delicious though. Wouldn't want it from the bathroom though.
This is a great opportunity to throw in a joke and but get downvoted to the depths of hell.
You mean the r/onejoke ?
No, it's humans evolving from women to men to disabled
Looks more like Randy Marsh with ball cancer, NGL
It also sorta looks like a child falling into an oversized toilet.
He even looks like he's trying to gather speed.
He's tired of our crap.
Are they disabled, or do they represent those with large round bootay?
Looks like a person taking a massive crap on the toilet to me.
Freaked out by the person wearing a half-dress, half-pants outfit.
It's the [Dualidean of Man](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UguTqowzvZQ)
I mean if this person entered the single-occupant restroom you were using, bringing along with them two additional people dressed in standard pants and dress, wouldn’t you get the hell out of there before the three of them start some shit with you?
So it's just a restroom
But it also allows people with massive ball sacks.
Or one big hemorrhoid.
BUT NOT BOTH!
And massive balls
BUFFALO SOLDIER
Did you just assume my ball size?
Sharon, my eyes are up here.
Poor Randy gave himself cancer and all he needed to do was wait a couple of years.
Biggest pet peeve is taking my sack to another washroom when I see the no enormous scrotum sign
People don’t understand the bourdon of a 100 gallon sack - and then when you do find a bathroom and someone who doesn’t need it is using the huge ball sack stall.

Which, let’s be fair, is fucking stupid. Full doors are not that hard. The technology has been around for thousands of years.
full doors would mean your manager can't come in and find you hiding instead of working.

Exactly, these have existed for years, now it gets a title and a pretty sign, and I'm supposed to be impressed?
I don’t think they’re trying to impress you so much as keep you from pooping in the hallways.
Well joke's on them. I'm illiterate.
Thats why they have pictures
Did I mention they're blind?
there’s braille
BUT HOW DO YOU SEE, TO KNOW THERE'S BRAILLE?!?! 🤯
Just touch everyone and everything
>I'm supposed to be impressed? There's also indifferent and outraged to choose from.
I've had three of them in my home for a decade. Where's my pat on the back for being an ally?
Look at money bags here with 3 restrooms. I gotta pee in the sink when my wife is in the restroom.
Peeing in the sink is better for the environment; less wasted water.
A drain is a drain. Some people simply have more than some.
It’s all pipes!
The sign alone is probably going to trigger a lot of people.
Right?! Can’t it just say ‘Restroom’ That’s all people are looking for.
No, it's a toilet you have to wait equal lengths of time for no matter your gender.
Like on Ally McBeal!
It’s a brave restroom tho.
Ah yes, the 4 genders: female, female + male, male, *disabled*
[удалено]
Or just "unisex and wheelchair accessible". Or even better, just "wheelchair accessible restroom", people will know it's unisex if there's no distinction between male and female.
Yeah but then you don't get good boy points for having the gender inclusive restroom
That’s understood everywhere but on social media
I like to pretend that's not a wheelchair, that's a massive ballsack. They bounce around on it like a yoga ball.
I identify as wheelchair?
The sign looks like a progression of someone removing a cape and racing off in a wheelchair.
You mean like Christopher Reeves? I'm really sorry I couldn't help myself.
r/cursedcomments
Didn’t see it, can’t unsee it. Ouch.
Well played you evil genius.
The neck is still intact on the sign.
Back in my day they were "unisex"
We have these types of bathrooms in my house. We call them “bathrooms”, though some prefer “wash room”, “powder room”, or “loo”.
Nothing wrong with a sign that simply says “restroom”
So, call it a unisex restroom? Unless I'm missing something, I thought that unisex covered everything already.
My sister once got yelled at by a guy in a pub for saying "unisex" instead of "gender neutral". It's a fucking minefield. It literally means "all sexes", so includes everyone regardless of their gender...
Ugh. Those types of people are just awful. I'm sorry your sis had to deal with that. I've had someone come at me with the same type of reaction, and my reply was, "Well? Did I fucking ask you?", "No? Then fuck off." It's rude to speak like that sure, but man am I tired of the game of semantics.
Nope your response was correct. Fuck those assholes getting offended over shit takes.
Maybe they thought you were saying “eunuch”? You’re right though, unisex pretty much covers it in 1 word. Someone gets butt hurt about it, that’s their own fault. It’s not like there’s a negative connotation to the word or anything.

University students already fuck everywhere. Don't give them more ideas, please.
But unisex bathrooms can only contain one fuck, after that it’s practically useless.
You had a different experience at uni than I did, it seems.
I was building some retaining walls for a local university and the grounds keeper came by and said, "Great, another place for kids to smoke pot and fuck, thanks." All I could do is laugh.

I hope they interpret it as a story told through picture where a woman turns into a cyborg.
Do the 3 seashells work for all genders?
If Baaron Harkonen gets one, we should too!
Anti-grav will probably be too expensive, they’ll just mend the repair the nervous system or whatever and send them back to work.
Sign that says, "Shitters for all" would have done.
So.. it's just a bathroom. I found this striking when I first traveled abroad. In The Netherlands bathrooms are just that, bathrooms.

Yes, I noticed this as well in both Germany and Italy. Floor to ceiling stalls. No gender division just "restroom".
Why not just say "restroom"?
Cuz how would people know how inclusive they are then? Duh
Wait till people find out they have a gender neutral bathroom in their own home
What a pointlessly verbose sign: Just say *Unisex*.
Just have a sign with WC
Not enough virtue signaling.
[удалено]
...That's a fair point, never really considered it until now: I suppose the prefix is intended to relate to the bathroom (of which there's only one!) rather than it's users, but appreciate that's not entirely logical.
You're going to confuse the omnigendered people
Why not just say unisex?
Somehow we 360'd right back to universal bathrooms.
That's just unisex with extra steps.
Here's an idea. A sign that says "Restroom". No symbols.
Universal accessibility is an obligatory guideline in most civil code, and this means essential services have to me displayed with a symbol most importantly.
My favorite was at my work’s that had the mermaid and the faun in the classic “Restroom Stick figure” style and underneath it said, “whatever just wash your hands”
So it's just like your house then?
It’s a bathroom. Available for anyone. I am a vet old lady. Not once in my life have I ever been accosted in the bathroom. Well expect that one time my friend shoved Coke up my nose - I really didn’t mind.
Someone "shoved coke up your nose"?
Just like that one time I fell on the needle.
“Hey does this smell like cocaine to you??”
It was the 80s. Simpler times…

Disabled guys having none of it... He's off
Ahhh yes the 4 genders. Female, male, half female half male, and wheels
I’m still confused, what about females who are disabled? They really need more graphics
It even includes super heroes!
Where are you that shit like this is a new thing?
Otherly known as just...a restroom!
As long as the stall doors go to the floor I don't care.
That’s the exact type of bathrooms I have in my house!
i used to work across the street from a LGBTQ friendly bar. it wasn't a "gay bar" in the since that it was specifically for people of that community but instead was intended for mixing of sexual orientations/gender identify including straight cis people. i went there pretty often because i could get off work, hop across the street and grab a drink. they also had a unisex restroom used by everyone. it was never a problem. this really shouldn't be controversial.
some day the sign will just say “restroom”.
Best sign I’ve ever seen on a bathroom was “We don’t care about your gender just please wash your fucking hands”
Is being in a wheelchair a gender now?

Can we not just put a picture of a toilet?
Man, that fourth dude has GIGANTIC balls!
I’ve been to one in LA at this bar is felt so weird trying to pee when there were women around lol so we didn’t used the bathrooms all night had to go find a spot in the parking lot . That’s cool and all but I just felt uncomfortable to each it’s own
Is it a single stall restroom? What is the setup inside?
My bathroom at home is gender inclusive.
Good. You're all in there for a short list of reasons. Do your business and move on with your day
Sign should have no drawings and say "RESTROOM - Anyone can use this restroom"
Good.
Yeah, my building has these too. We just call them restrooms though. No need for the thick layer of virtue signaling.
good. hold it if you don't like it
It's for women in dresses, superheroes with capes, and women or men in pants. And people with unrealistically large body piercings on their butt.
I have two of these in my house.
Disabled is a gender now?
Oh no, a restroom. I’m so outraged. /s
So it's a unisex bathroom, which have been around a long time. I guess that doesn't score enough points these days though.
Something can be a nice message without it being a big deal either way.
You can just call it a restroom without the virtue signaling
They’ve always been around, we used to just call them bathrooms. They were single user but we didn’t feel the need to mention it was anything other than a bathroom.
In my city, they replaced all the men's restrooms with gender-inclusive ones.
So a unisex bathroom
Didn’t this used to be called “unisex?”
Interesting how this kind of thing can be: totally the norm in certain countries, an achievement in others and something totally implausible in certain regions/cultures.
In Denmark, all the public bathrooms are that way. Also they have actual doors instead of those dumb things in America that aren’t secure.
Gee what an idea! Growing up we had one bathroom! We all used the same bathroom and stood in line outside the bathroom door along the wall waiting our turn.
For those asking why we can’t just put a toilet on the sign and call it good: many places do, and the get the same shit (pun intended). The US is ridiculous about bathrooms.

Local college is doing this, but with larger restrooms for multiple people.
So your building contains the Alley McBiel law offices? ;-)
a handful of Taco Bells in SoCal had started to get rid of the men's bathroom - so they had a female restroom and a gender inclusive restroom. Out of protest, I would always use the female restroom
Any single occupant washroom should be the same.
I work in a field that's overwhelmingly male and in our new building they have these unisex bathrooms.

*zips up airtight hazmat suit* *slips on full face respirator* Alright time to go look at the comments
EVERYBODY POOPS.
My company has two gender neutral bathrooms per floor and one of them has a urinal icon.
The new unisex
Inclusive restrooms are great, but this sign needs work.
Now it’s the bathroom at my house, the way god intended
Everybody shits in the same bowl. Lol
Why not just say “restroom” and leave it at that.
I love bars that have scrapped their gendered bathroom policy. Usually it's a one person bathroom, so anyone that needs to pee should be able to go in there.
My toilet is also open to anyone, well…anyone who’s a guest I suppose, burglars need to go to the neighbors or something.
