Description: a toilet door with a multigender symbol and a disabled symbol. Text below the symbols reads “Inclusive| Ira tāngata katoa”.
For context, this is the disabled toilet in the main art gallery in my country’s biggest city. There are the standard male toilet and female toilet right there as well.
Edit: sorry, image upload isn’t working for me. Basically the one disabled toilet has been turned into an inclusive gender and disability toilet. I love it that there is a gender inclusive bathroom but I don’t love it that they siloed it into the disability accessible toilet instead of renovating a new one or changing one of the 4 standard ones instead or as well.
Well, if its a new project/building then there isnt any excuse really.
Ive never understood why they are segregated in the first place, just put a bunch of toilets in a bunch of properly walled off rooms, and leave people to handle their shit.
The one argument they use - Rapists - Also never makes sense to me. If somebody is going to do that, they are not going to care about the symbol on the door
Making the toilets each a self contained room with sturdier doors (ie not have those stupid ass gaps that people can crawl under/over/shimmy something through to fuck with the lock) meanwhile…
