Good lord they are only 11 years old. Who cares what bathroom they use.
- Make them all unisex. If it's a large facility with a bunch of stalls or a small facility for only one person, make them all unisex.
  
  I went to a club with only one, huge, unisex bathroom once. It was.. like any other bathroom. Seeing people of the opposite gender wasn't really a concern anyways.
  Since it was a rather yuge bathroom for a yuge club, if there was any shenanigans going on there would've been plenty of witnesses to call it out.
  There was even one guy who went piss at a urinal, and started to leave without washing his hands. All the other guys started shouting at the guy to was his hands lol.
  
  I support this.

  Good bot
  
  You could go take a shit together on your first date
  
  Yes. And get rid of that creepy door gap while you're at it
  
  I hate those gaps
  
  It’s only America that has pervert friendly toilet gaps.
  
  To be fair, there is safety in numbers and consequently I also see a benefit to combining them. I'm a dude, and I would rather walk down a busy pedestrian mall than a sketchy half-empty street or an urban trail on a moonless night.
  Same thing with bathrooms. I imagine women feel better in a bathroom where other women and other people are present and aware, vs a nearly empty bathroom where a creep could walk in and isolate them at any moment. I've been to places with large unisex bathrooms (hot springs, spas, etc.) and there's enough people in there that no one is gonna try anything stupid/inappropriate without being immediately noticed. Bathroom troublemakers are a small subset of the universally large group of people who have to use the restroom anyway.
  I only support gender-segregated bathrooms because I don't want a bunch of chicks clogging up the mensroom with their slow pissing/shitting/bloody paper towels on the floor. :D I am unreasonable and self-centered, but anyone who has ever been to a concert knows which line is longer.
  
  ....so you are going to take away my urinals, my fast turnaround time, and my silence?
  
  They can put urinals in a unisex restroom.
  In fact, there are all sorts of things in public restrooms that are unused. For example, the last restroom you visited had a sink where you could have washed your hands.
  
  Oh look this site has a block feature
  
  See how easy it can be to get urinals and silence?
  If turnaround time is still a problem, get your prostate checked. Help is available, even for old geezers.
  
  In my hypothetical example, when you pictured stalls, you pictured them with only toilets inside. You didn't even consider that there could be a stall with just a urinal.
  You may enjoy sidling to the trough and gazing at your competition, but some of us appreciate not having creeps trying to size us up.
  
  I haven't seen a trough style urinal in a developed nation in my entire life.
  
  You have never been to a stadium bathroom before?
  
  I have not.
  
  You haven't been to the right bars.
  
  That is a distinct possibility.
  
  I've seen them in seven States in the US, also on a trip to Canada. I lived in Germany for a while, and used them there - and Austria.
  Maybe you should try traveling and open up that closed mind. Expand those horizons.
  
  I travel monthly for work. Last two months I have been to Germany and South East Asia. Maybe I am just not going out of my way to find the most disgusting toliet system, unlike some people I can mention.
  
  Your urinal privilege has been pissed away.
  
  Right so how do people plan to sell this? "Hey 49% of the population, we are going to make a basic need more difficult for you and you get nothing in return".
  
  You don't have to. Nobody votes on this shit. You just start building buildings with a large number of private, all-gender stalls like we've been doing in limited quantities for a long time. And most wouldn't care that strongly, or might even appreciate the added privacy.
  
  Wow tell me more about this country that has no building codes.
- Pretty much only conservatives. They're actually pretty obsessed with thinking about children being raped in bathrooms.
- We need to separate the bathrooms by function!
  Number ones on the left number twos on the right!
  
  Now the problem with that would be that then people would only use the pissing bathroom, because who would want to poop with other people? I sure wouldn't.
