Unisex Toilets

[Black Orchid]

I recently had business in two separate buildings and as soon as I got off the lift I saw the sign "Unisex Toilets". I did not notice any other toilets on the floor. What if a child needs to use the bathroom? Are they expected to use 'unisex' bathrooms?

Hawkesbury Council will replace unisex toilet signs because “unisex” is deemed by some to be offensive.

The council will replace four unisex toilet signs with “toilet all gender” signs to align with “industry standards”.

The council has also forked out over $5,000 to join an organisation that promotes LGBTQI health while also wanting to hike up rates by about 30%.

And on top of that now we have to spend money on changing the signs because 'Unisex' is offensive to a handful of mentally challenged nutjobs.

AFL fans have slammed the decision to offer unisex bathrooms at Saturday night’s Pride Game at Etihad Stadium.

Male and female bathroom doors had signs reading “Gender diversity is welcome here: Please use the restroom that best fits your gender identity or expression”, and five bathroom blocks were designated unisex for the event, the Herald Sun has reported.

Unisex bathrooms are important for trans and non-binary people who may feel uncomfortable choosing a male or female bathroom, or be at risk of harassment or violence from others in gendered facilities.
This year’s Pride Game between the St Kilda Saints and the Sydney Swans introduced the unisex bathrooms after feedback following previous games.

Reactions to the bathroom signage have been mixed, with some football fans raising concerns about “political correctness” or even the “safety” of unisex facilities.

“So when a group of young kids go into the toilets by themselves and [a] sexual predator or rapist comes then what happens,” tweeted one person.
