Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson, the Minister for the Environment and Natural Resources of Iceland, has announced a new regulation that requires toilets to be labelled based on facilities rather than gender. This change follows a query from Andrés Ingi Jónsson, a Pirate Party MP who has been advocating for the issue since 2020.
The regulation mandates that gender-neutral toilets must be provided wherever separate women’s and men’s toilets are available.
“For those of us who haven’t experienced it personally, this might seem minor, but it’s crucial for people to know whether they can access a toilet at work or school. It really matters,” says Andrés Ingi Jónsson, highlighting the importance of this change.
Just do individual bathrooms you can close. Everyone prefers them anyway, why wouldn’t you want to have an entire space you can lock down and do your business and move at your own pace?
Because that takes a lot of space. You still need to do plumbing. It’s just easier to do cubicles and have shared sink instead.
Grocery stores do it, I think its manageable. Beats the hell out of a possible voyeurism/sex-pesty lawsuit or political grandstanding it inspires
Wtf are you taking about😂 it’s just 2 bathrooms. 1 occupant each. It’s not complicated. Turn the men’s into single use and the women’s into single use. Simple. This is only a problem for venues that want to heard people into bathrooms like cattle.
