Wait what if the building is a small shop that has a singular room with a toilet and sink in it? The little bookstore near my house only has 1 water closet. Those type of stores will be illegal to build from now on?
That would be a ‘universal’ toilet and thus allowed.
God these people are fucking stupid.
That's a gender neutral bathroom.
It doesn't mean there's a stripper pole and a doctor handing out hormones.
The thing they’re against is communal handwashing apparently.
Well…that’s where it starts.
/s
First comes hand washing, next comes gender recognition, next comes TRANSVESTITE BABIES in baby carriages!!!
This honestly feels like a bit at this point
Wait, your bathrooms don't have a doctor handing out shots hanging around in the corner?
Wait, your bathrooms don't have stripper poles?
It's unsanitary. Don't want nothin spreading. My kitchens though, let's just say my lasagna ain't the only thing cooking in there.
What boggles me is that the latter "universal toilet" is what most conservatives ferociously battled when it is called a "gender neutral bathroom", like disabled bathrooms and residential ones. Face=palm.
Anything less would interfere with dignity
