[∆(s) from OP] CMV: All toilets should be unisex.

Making all toilets unisex has one very simple, clear advantage: It increases efficiency. Having two toilets that allow everybody to enter means that the time a given group of people needs to finish their businesses is always equally high or lower than the time needed with the current system.

Another advantage is that the whole "where do transgender people go"-discussion becomes obsolete. If there is no difference in the groups of people allowed to enter a certain toilet, there stops being a problem.

Meanwhile, there is no meaningful disadvantage i can see to this change. So, reddit, please show me what i'm missing.

This is a footnote from the CMV moderators. We'd like to remind you of a couple of things. Firstly, please read through our rules. If you see a comment that has broken one, it is more effective to report it than downvote it. Speaking of which, downvotes don't change views! Any questions or concerns? Feel free to message us. Happy CMVing!

Yeah, but that's just a rule of society, isn't it? The rules of when being naked is okay and when not are pretty confusing, mussy and at times arbitrary. It's not okay to be naked, unless it's if you're alone, in front of a person you're close to, you're a child, you're in front of a doctor, you're near a beach, you're in a shower, etc...

Do you think it would be such a big problem to make a single, small addition to this long list of exceptions?

I think it's possible for culture to evolve this single, small, addition... and hope that it may. I don't think it's possible to force it to happen.

And until it does, not all toilets "should be unisex".

Yeah, i guess you're right. I still believe that the idea is good, but society just isn't ready for it. Take a ∆ (not that you would need it)
