I believe it is unfortunate that this ad trivialises the issue and demonstrates the low quality of American political advertising. Perhaps a better solution is to be like many of the toilets I saw in Korea some years ago which were all unisex though I can't see that idea taking off as if you were a woman you walked past the urinals to reach a cubicle.
 
I think that Transgender people should be allowed to use the bathroom that matches with their gender identity. And I think politicians should stop using scare tactics like this to get votes.

its a simple thought process to consider the motivation of using minorities to whip up bigotry and fear for their own selfish ends

fairly insulting to people's intelligence really

Yeh probably not so much. Although if there weren't urinals may be less of a problem. Always amuses me in small workplaces I've seen one women's toilet, one men's toilet (no urinal) and a shared sink - why bother? If there's no urinal and a shared sink area, then what's the difference? I guess the dribbling on the floor ... :evil:
 
I think the insanity lies in why we still need to worry about this. Everyone uses a toilet, so let everyone use a toilet. We have bigger things to worry about in the world (including terrorism, starvation and disease, just like he says) so lets just make all toilets unisex. This is a Frequent Flyer community after all - wouldn't it be absurd (and annoying) if you could only use certain toilets on a plane based on whatever sex you were deemed at birth? Ridiculous!

I feel the same way about same-sex marriage. Just make it legal already so we can actually spend more time thinking about what's important and how to solve real problems.
 
I recall using the facilities at CDG and having to raise one foot, then the other, while the female cleaner mopped the floor around me.
 
Why not Unisex toilets and then a separate Family toilet to be used for younger kids and parents if needed?
 
I believe it's because the religious right has lost the gay marriage debate, so they are moving on to vilify another group.

VA J has a female only toilet (though the male pilots do use it). Has a larger sink and more lighting around the mirror.

just a thought.put the urinals furthest away from the entry/exit, and the cubicles closest...so then those who feel 'uncomfortable' seeing a guy pee dont have to walk passed them..simple!! :D

An intelligent person would think this. However given this type of advertising clearly works quite well in America I'm not so convinced this is insulting to the average American's intelligence, if people were so insulted it wouldn't work.
 
you haven't lived til you have been to nightclubs, dance parties, pubs etc, where the male/female symbols on the door are merely a 'suggestion' :D ..yep you guessed it..im treating this thread with the 'seriousness' it deserves:D
I actually dont care who uses the loo...just DONT MAKE A MESS:evil:
 
James Woods is bat**** crazy IMO

Major addiction problems doesn't he? Anyway, plenty of times I've taken a pee while a female lounge staff member has been in the toilets (ususually VA lounge MEL). Doesn't bother me at all. I've got a transex bathroom in my house actually - it's a bathroom with a door, whats the problem?
