    Sexual assult is the usual argument.

    It’s a private space that can’t be monitored with surveillance.

    Whether or not that is a good argument is debatable.

    Personally I do know a number of people who have been sexually assaulted / raped in club bathrooms.

      Were those bathrooms gendered though? I think the argument that shared bathrooms lead to more sexual assault needs some scientific backing.

      I get that you’re just paraphrasing the arguments of others btw.

      SA van only be prevented with education. Gengered signs won’t stop it. Those signs just make lines longer. I could be wrong but gender neutral toilets could deter sexual assaulters as they might noe know who is where.
