California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law requiring K-12 schools to provide gender-neutral bathrooms by July 2026.
The new law, Senate Bill 760, was among a series of laws signed by Newsom Saturday to expand protections for the state’s LGBTQ community.
“California is proud to have some of the most robust laws in the nation when it comes to protecting and supporting our LGBTQ+ community,” Newsom said in a statement.
Under the law, “each school district, county office of education, and charter school” would be required to have at least one gender-neutral bathroom on campus on or before July 1, 2026. The bathroom must be available for use during school hours and during school functions when students are present, the law states.
My biggest reason for wanting separate bathrooms is the propensity for women to squat and spray the seat. I know guys can make a mess too but usually the women’s restroom is dirtier than men’s. Also women’s restroom is more likely to have a line.
But I’m sure building-wise it would be easier to just make one big bathroom so it should probably be that way, long as it’s big enough.
In areas with lots of people it’s also about efficiency. Single stall toilets don’t work at a train station. A better option is to have two toilets … one with urinal and one without. Use whichever one you want.
For efficiency just add a piss trough. It works great at ballparks and fairgrounds.
Yeah I love bumping elbows with the guy next to me shaking his pud…
Maybe put a funnel in the floor drain and see who’s Alpha enough to stare you in the eyes while pissing in your direction.
How do you have experience with both men and women’s restrooms?
Edit: ow the downvotes
I envy a life where you’ve never had to clean a bathroom.
I have but it was unisex lol
I used to work in a restaurant so I’ve had to clean both.
Women are utterly disgusting. Men sometimes pee on the seats but women shit on the walls.
I was stunned the first time. After having it happen once a week or so, you really start to wonder WTF is wrong with women
Maybe woman bring toddlers to the bathroom more often?
Online discussions I’ve seen on this subject make it sound like it’s very location specific when one is routinely worse than the other. I switched public restrooms when I transitioned ~4.5 years ago. My experience has been that both peak at the same level of gross, but men’s restrooms were gross more often. A busy enough restroom will inevitably have a user who doesn’t know how to manage their body in public, but men’s restrooms always seemed just a little more casually dirty. So maybe you should have been wondering who the fuck among your coworkers kept blowing up the women’s room x_x Because it’s not a gender thing. You just had a serial wall shitter who happened to be a woman.
It’s customers, not coworkers
Wherever, whoever, what matters is that you most likely had a serial wall shitter.
Not OP but the one who cleans sees all.
Idk about them, but my transition experience was the opposite. Neither is free of animals who were never taught how to operate their bodies in a public space, but my men’s room experiences were gross way more often than my women’s room experiences are. And now that I share a single toilet bathroom with men at work again, piss in weird places all the time. I understand that there are some places where the women’s room is routinely worse, but the average has been the opposite in my experience.
