    Most toilet facilities in England have a shared washing up area so in most cases it would be prohibitively expensive to convert older ones to having a basin etc in each stall. Newer buildings tend to build in single person toilets which are then universal. I think the fear for some comes from having shared washing areas.

      Fear which is of course based on ridiculous fearmongering from transphobes and completely divorced from reality.

            Yep! I see zero problems with a woman sharing a small space with strange men.

            So yeah, you’re a man or you might have seen a woman’s point of view. Do I get to call you a misogynist?

      You’re not necessarily wrong, but also that wasn’t an argument made in the article so I don’t think it’s relevant here
