    I went to a board game convention a month ago, it was the first time I’ve girlmoded for something major. They put their own signs over the bathroom signs explaining that both were gender neutral and the only difference was urinals vs stalls. That made it soooo much easier on me and I was very glad

      Indeed, I’m a furry and a few conventions I go to, even in red states, have temporary rebranding of the bathrooms to gender neutral for the duration of the convention as a requirement that the Hotel must maintain in order to keep the convention’s business.

      And since furries are either suspiciously wealthy or poor, but dedicated, it’s a wise economic decision for said Hotel.

      I don’t think only gender neutral bathrooms is the way to go. There should be an all gender bathroom and a woman’s bathroom. Unfortunately we live in a world where women may still feel understandably uncomfortable with men in the bathroom with them.

      Note: To be clear I’m not saying the women’s bathroom should be for cis women only, it should only exclude men.

    Gendered bathrooms should not need to exist because bathrooms should have some dammed privacy.

    In the US, there’s a door for boys and one for girls. Behind each is a giant room with some sinks and some toilets that may as well be using cardboard and tinfoil for privacy.

    Go somewhere more pleasant like Sweden? You have a short hallway with 3 or 4 doors on each side, and behind each is a small restroom including a sink and a mirror.

    Every real and maga-hallucinated bathroom problem largely solved.

    The fact that stalls exist kinda makes me question why, outside of poorly aged “values” we even have gendered restrooms.

        I identify as a man and accidentally went into the women’s bathroom at the supermarket.

        It smelled like blood, tampons on the floor, and there was a woman crying in the stall.

        I’ll take the piss floors.

        From what I’ve heard from janitors, the women’s rooms can be outright disturbing. Like period blood murals on the wall.

          *nununununu!!!* please understand that I’m angry at the reddit post with the annoying youtube title, not the repost here on Lemmy. On thus post, “No” is a pretty good title I think. it’s not overselling it, it makes sense within the context of the funi and it’s not an overused buzzword.

          the REDDIT POST on the other hand! it goes out of it’s way to be annoying. it repeats the the same meaning using different words. it pretends like this is a big thing: some employee replying with no to some comment about thir game. It’s boring, overblown and who cares. It would have been funier if the reddit person just reposted the post and didnot add a dum and long subtitle to it. WHAT IS THIS? prepare for my next game, named Calm Compass: A side adventure in a parallel dimebsion. (very out of context, yes, srryy)

          have I now become the one to overblow and overreact? am I now saying the same thing with many words? YES! ON PURPOSE!

          im sori next time I will ramble shorter.

    Uh… Does the username “Anders Holmvik” have anything to do with Anders Breivik, or is that just a normal Scandinavian name?

      Anders Holmvik is one of the three main characters in the show Workaholics.

      The character is played by actor and co-creator of the show Anders Holm.

      Vik or vig, in Scandinavian languages, means inlet or bay and is rather common as part of a placename. Therefore also somewhat common as a family name, since these tend to reflect origin of a given family.

      I can recommend the show, it is funny, albeit rather stupid.
