Description: a toilet door with a multigender symbol and a disabled symbol. Text below the symbols reads “Inclusive| Ira tāngata katoa”.
For context, this is the disabled toilet in the main art gallery in my country’s biggest city. There are the standard male toilet and female toilet right there as well.
Edit: sorry, image upload isn’t working for me. Basically the one disabled toilet has been turned into an inclusive gender and disability toilet. I love it that there is a gender inclusive bathroom but I don’t love it that they siloed it into the disability accessible toilet instead of renovating a new one or changing one of the 4 standard ones instead or as well.
I’m sure it’s hard but the administration has made plans for new bathrooms and repeatedly made the same mistakes. In the new developments, the bathroom stalls with the infrastructure to accommodate people are always in men and women’s bathrooms so there is now actually no places for people that conform to neither.
Well, if its a new project/building then there isnt any excuse really.
Ive never understood why they are segregated in the first place, just put a bunch of toilets in a bunch of properly walled off rooms, and leave people to handle their shit.
