People can be creeps
I hardly use a public bathroom and if I did, it needs to be clean. Regardless of gender people can be gross.

I agree with this. I think its a good idea. but I also have this concern.
 
You can't really compare a public bathroom to a house bathroom. At a house bathroom there is only one toilet and one person is in there at a time. I was under the impression we were talking about a large bathroom that many people would use at the same time. I would feel uncomfortable. I already feel self conscious using a single gender bathroom.
 
I'm curious about your thoughts so..
Question to people against the idea:

Why are you against it? What exactly makes you uncomfortable?
Does whatever make you uncomfortable an already probable thing in same-sex bathrooms? Why does gender neutral increase/decrease the risk in your opinion?

I feel uncomfortable in public washrooms too but I don't think it being gender neutral would make me feel any worse. The amount of people would, but I don't think gender neutral washrooms would have more people in them because the typical separate washrooms would be converted to both be gender neutral.

Answers to your questions:

1. Because it's gross, and makes me feel uncomfortable

2. Girls using the other stalls while I piss makes me SERIOUSLY uncomfortable. :/

3. No, whatever makes me uncomfortable in a gender neutral bathroom is far different for me than same-sex bathrooms. I am not nervous at all and have no problem when it comes to same-sex bathrooms. Gender neutral bathrooms is pushing it too far.

4. Not sure exactly what you mean here, but I'm just going to answer and say it increases the risk of being uncomfortable because there's not only dudes around me going in their own stalls, and it seems wrong to me otherwise.
 
A lot of people are private about going #2 in public. Say you come out of the stall and your potential boyfriend heard you. That would be embarrassing.

Exactly, this is another thing I forgot to mention. Gender neutral bathrooms would seriously dampen the privacy some people need. :/
 
I'm barely comfortable using public bathrooms as it is and even then, I'll only go in/use the ones that actually get properly maintained. I mean, a lot of them can't even maintain toilets being used by one group, let alone everybody.


Assuming they somehow manage to keep up with the cleaning though, I see no problem. It'll all be cubicles anyway which I'm somewhat fine with, it's not like I'm gonna be starring somebody in the eyes as I take a number 2 just because it's a gender neutral bathroom.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, definitely given me more insight on the other side. I appreciate it :)

Uhh sorry if I seem rude but that seems completely irrelevant.

Why would it actually make you feel uncomfortable though?

How is it irrelevant? Someone asked people who were uncomfortable for reasons why and I gave a specific reason. I'm not sure what I am missing. I also have met really immature guys who just after hearing that a girl went to use the restroom proceeded to ask if she was taking a ****, which is quite rude. So if you aren't just using the bathroom with strange men, you are using it with men you know who could continue to ridicule you for it. I have also heard guys say they like to imagine in their heads that women don't go #2. They also act very uncomfortable whenever periods or tampons are mentioned, so all of this will factor into annoying interactions with women using restrooms with men.

What I mean is in a public bathroom I don't think people should worry about your future spouse hearing you poop, sorry, wasn't trying to be insensitive.
