Let alone the gender wars, this is stupid because it’s impractical. The only division we need is stalls vs urinals. If you already have stalls, everyone has all the privacy they need. What’s the point of gendered toilets??
I find this funny because the government buildings I’ve been in all had gender specific toilets made universal instead. Apparently they can’t make their minds up
Rapists: “Ahhh, nooooo!!! Now I can’t do my raping because of this single change 😫😫😫”
balkanize these isles
Mumsnet strikes again.
Aaaaas a mother…
FFS those people.
Spacious room with a single toilet and a floor to ceiling solid wood door: 🚨ILLEGAL🚨. But add a sink and anyone can poop to their heart’s content.
It seems the issue here is actually mixed gender handwashing, which is the real scourge.
Mingling mens and womens hands in the same bank of sinks is obviously going to lead to sinful behaviour.
All residential bathrooms are woke
I just want an MP to stand up during the debate on this and say something to the effect of: “I have it on good authority that the honourable member from Toryshire has multiple gender neutral bathrooms in his own house! What is he hiding?”
I can’t decide if I want to die or emigrate.
Help is coming. I have to believe it. It’s been a long long cold mean period in UK politics, and I know that Labour doesn’t look much better.
But I’ve lived in other countries and seen other endless conservative governments come to an end, kicking and lashing out just like this. And I can tell you honestly how refreshing it is to wake up and know that today, while people are unlikely to make things better any time quickly, nobody is going to make things worse.
Sending love.
I really needed to here this. Thank you.
Live. Fight. Flee if you must.
I’m confused. Aren’t disabled toilets gender neutral?
Good point. Need more toilets with greater accessibility.
Wait what if the building is a small shop that has a singular room with a toilet and sink in it? The little bookstore near my house only has 1 water closet. Those type of stores will be illegal to build from now on?
That would be a ‘universal’ toilet and thus allowed.
According to ministers, 81% agreed with the intention for separate single-sex toilet facilities in a consultation on the proposals, while 82% also agreed with the intention to provide “universal” toilets – a self-contained, and a fully enclosed toilet room with a wash hand basin for individual use – where space allows.
What boggles me is that the latter “universal toilet” is what most conservatives ferociously battled when it is called a “gender neutral bathroom”, like disabled bathrooms and residential ones. Face=palm.
God these people are fucking stupid.
That’s a gender neutral bathroom.
It doesn’t mean there’s a stripper pole and a doctor handing out hormones.
Wait, your bathrooms don’t have a doctor handing out shots hanging around in the corner?
Wait, your bathrooms don’t have stripper poles?
It’s unsanitary. Don’t want nothin spreading. My kitchens though, let’s just say my lasagna ain’t the only thing cooking in there.
The thing they’re against is communal handwashing apparently.
Well…that’s where it starts.
/s
First comes hand washing, next comes gender recognition, next comes TRANSVESTITE BABIES in baby carriages!!!
This honestly feels like a bit at this point
Anything less would interfere with dignity
whose dignity
The UK is not OK
The Tories are desperately trying to find something to appeal to voters. Based off of the recent council elections, they are looking at being devastated in the next general election.
Unfortunately, when you corner a wounded animal, they tend to lash out at whatever they can, before you kill them. Unfortunately, they can still drag it out till January 2025.
I wish they would try something else than trying to ignite culture wars
This is the best summary I could come up with:
New restaurants, offices, schools and hospitals in England will be required to have separate male and female toilets, in a move ministers say will combat growing concerns about “privacy and dignity” in gender-neutral facilities.
The equalities minister, Kemi Badenoch, said the move will help combat the rise of gender-neutral toilet spaces, which she said “deny privacy and dignity to both men and women”.
She asked people to report public bodies that fail to provide single-sex spaces or have policies not in accordance with the Equality Act.
Badenoch said the move shows the government’s commitment to “ensuring single-sex spaces are protected for all” after plans to overhaul the NHS constitution by limiting the use of gender-neutral wards.
“This is following our work last week limiting the use of mixed-sex wards in the NHS and demonstrates how this government is committed to ensuring single-sex spaces are protected for all.”
The government guidelines for how schools in England deal with transgender and young people require schools to maintain separate toilets and changing facilities for children aged eight years and over, allows staff and students to ignore pronouns preferred by socially transitioning children, and allows for sport and PE activities to be segregated by sex if there are safety concerns.
The original article contains 644 words, the summary contains 206 words. Saved 68%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Get that big bucket wheel excavator from Germany to dig up the edge of the English Channel and sink the island into the sea.
Gender specific?
Who in their right mind would be able to create infinite toilets to have a specific toilet for every gender on the spectrum between feminine and masculine?
Or do they mean sex specific toilets? Which is just awful and non-enforceable.

Oi M8 u got a penis with that?
We might be literally swimming in shit but at least it comes from gender-specific toilets. Hooray for the Tories.
