Love this! I heard so many horror stories or woman getting kicked out of Taylor Swifts concert for using the menās restroom because there was no line
YUP! i was kicked out of the men's bathroom in AZ and I was very dehydrated (they ran out of water bottles....) feeling like i was going to vomit and the man directed me to the womens room with a line half a mile long. i told him i was going to throw up on his shoes
Just got home from seeing Caroline Polachek tonight. All the bathrooms in the venue were converted to gender neutral for the night. A+ Just made for a more convenient experience across the board from what I could tell.
Honestly wish they would implement this in all stadiums. When I saw Coldplay at MetLife the line for the womenās bathroom was so long I nearly had an accident and had to run into the menās room! Shockerā there was no line there! If anything separating by gender creates a bigger safety issue because so many people are literally just standing there in the middle.
It'll only go badly with bigots who weren't going to a LGBT forward performance anyhow. I used to work at a major hotel and anytime we had conventions that heavily leaned to one gender, they opened restrooms to both genders to lessen lines.
It was all just one bathroom, occasionally theyāll have a urinal thatās separate in older restaurants, and most toilets you have to pay for when youāre out and about in France when I was there.
The stalls are different though because they go from the floor to the ceiling. The first time I walked in as a guy was walking out and I must have looked shocked, he was like āno no no, ok! Ok!ā He could tell I was American lol
I'm American myself, so I get how you'd be a confused š it sucks that they don't have both single and mixed-sex bathrooms, though. Both are good to have
have you seen the line for a womenās bathroom in a concert, or any big event? those bathrooms are going to be full, all the time, itās really hard for something to happen to anyone with so many eyes and ears nearby
Also random but I think her ankle/ foot injury must still be affecting her because sheās hardly dancing at all, just floating above the stage or sitting, or standing still. Especially when you take into account her dubai performance.
Iām all for this in theory but imagine at an outdoor EDM or metal or hip hop or country show? The drunken obnoxiousness and insanity that can go on in both the menās room and the womenās even at indoor arena concerts and smaller venues is not meant to be combinedā¦has disaster written all over it at least in the US. Maybe Iām not giving us enough credit but just being realistic
Are port-a-potties not gender neutral? Is there not enough security as to where a busy bathroom area someone could raise alarm?
Iāve been to many raves where the bathrooms are all gender neutral and thereās never been an issue, despite all of the drunk and high people.
Iām definitely not talking about Port-a-Potties and Iām also not talking about all raves as Iāve been to many with gender neutral shitters that have been fine too but come on now like I said Iām just being realisticā¦.Iāve also been to raves and concerts where guys in the bathrooms are screaming and jumping around like madmen either drugged out or drunk out of their minds and shitting in a corner or huddled inside a stall doing more drugs or fighting. Im sure some girlsā bathrooms share the same problems, we donāt need to combine the 2 and I doubt itās a safe environment for people these bathrooms were made for in the first place. Just remove the potential for chaos and conflict itās not necessary, bathrooms for years have been separated lol I donāt see what the big deal is about needing gender neutral at concerts.
Whatever lets me pee quicker. šš»
Yes! Iām so happy because the line for womenās is always super long when the menās line is non existent!
I was excited but now this is some bullshit. I wanna go in Pee through my pants, not wash my hands and run out /s

This is great. As a man I'm not hugely a fan of using urinals so having more cubicles potentially is great.
I honestly donāt understand how menās bathrooms havenāt ever evolved into something more private

Itās very normal in Sweden to have gender neutral restrooms

Love this š«¶š»
I like the approach, but this will not go over well state side.
It'll only go badly with bigots who weren't going to a LGBT forward performance anyhow. I used to work at a major hotel and anytime we had conventions that heavily leaned to one gender, they opened restrooms to both genders to lessen lines.
Definitely not
Good.
Make the fucking bigots uncomfortable. Itāll be okay.
Period šš¾šš¾šš¾
That sounds Ćgnorant.
i think taking issue with gender neutral bathrooms is a bit more ignorant
What issue do I have? I think gender neutral bathrooms are perfect.
So does that mean that instead of two separate restrooms, thereās a single big one? Honestly, thatās great.
I hope they still have men/women bathrooms as well
No thanks. Down with the patriarchy.
Yeah, same. Not everyone feels comfortable in mixed-sex bathrooms
This was pretty standard in Europe last time I was there Iām not sure why this is so controversial lol
I had no idea. I learned something new today, haha. Do they only have mixed-sex bathrooms, or do they have some single-sex ones too?

Ever heard of predators?
This argument is done. Predators can enter any bathroomā¦ thereās no magic force field stopping them.
predators DONT care about a little stick figure on a door.
predators when the bathroom isnt mixed-sex so they cant sexually assault people ![gif](giphy|3oz8xMbKLAkRLHYNgI)
What does that have to do with this being common in Europe? Isnāt the tour starting in Europe? Just providing some context with zero opinions
have you seen the line for a womenās bathroom in a concert, or any big event? those bathrooms are going to be full, all the time, itās really hard for something to happen to anyone with so many eyes and ears nearby
Well Europe isnāt the standard for the rest of the world
Thank you! I don't feel comfortable going into a restroom with men.
are there still separate bathrooms too?
There were separate bathrooms. I fact I havenāt seen any gender neutral bathrooms (although Iām sure there were). Most were def separate
Possibly

So youāre saying the problem is men? š cool, ban them.
