In theory, I would like to think I'm quite on board with the idea of public restrooms being available to those all who are gender fluid.
In reality, I'm not sure.
Saturday evening I popped into the restroom to readjust a garter belt. I hiked up my skirt, was wrestling with the stay, and looked up. There was a man standing at the other end of the restroom against the wall. He was a security guard for the facility and I must've looked like a deer in the headlights, as he said not to worry, he's seen just about everything. Ohhh, that was reassuring!

Most 'activity ' in a public bathroom takes place in private cubicles anyway, so it wouldn't particularly mind it.
Maybe they should put on loud music though, because men seem to far louder than women
If you go to somebodies house for dinner, they generally dont have 2 separate toilets, and its no big deal.
I think the general public is a different matter, teenage daughters and dirty old men are a bad mix. Easier to police separate areas, there would be no excuse for a guy to be hanging around inside a female bathroom.

I think a less experience security guard would have been so traumatised , seeing you undress, it may have sent him into therapy

Public bathrooms are almost always uncomfortable. If a public washroom wan't to be neutral then it should only occupy 1 person.

I suppose since it was posted outside the door that the public bathroom was for "Everyone", one knows before entering.
What made me uncomfortable was that the security guard was against the wall behind the door. One cannot see him/her standing there until the door is closed, and I wasn't looking in that direction until I already had my skirt hiked.
I suppose I wasn't expecting someone of any gender to be in there policing the premises, and staring....

Would the fact that you knew it was a gender-neutral bathroom not make you think twice before hiking up your skirt?

It's one thing to go into a public restroom knowing full well that it is but not knowing some security dude is there in stealth mode would be quite a surprise indeed. Privacy is becoming a thing of the past everywhere.

I think men should do their business in a men’s restroom and women should do their business in women’s restrooms.
Anyone wanting to be something different should work on congress to legislate something like ada compliance to eventually require non men and non women restrooms. Maybe more of society will be ready for co-bathrooms in the distant future like a small minority want to force on society today. I would not want most men in any private or public restroom with my daughter or any other woman in my family.

When l was a beautiful young teenager, a unsupervised poooliceman strip-searched me in the police-station, at night, the whole deal ...l guessed that there was something very wrong at the time & many years latter, l know that was not an ordinary proceeding for an unaccompanied sworn officer to undertake, with a vulnerable member of the public ...in an NZ rest-room, finding a security "dude" lurking inside is suspicious activity

Did that actually happen to you? We're never sure who to trust anymore but yeah, I'd be pretty suspicious of and dude lurking around in a rest room.
In China the mens restroom often has a woman cleaner lurking in a corner, at first it was disconcerting, especially as men's urinals are open unlike the actual toilet which is enclosed. I usually use a cubicle as can't pee when being watched by a woman
