OMG this... 100%.... if there's an issue that must be addressed in America for bathroom privacy it is stall gaps!

I would have thought urinals themselves might be an issue, not just the fact that stalls have gaps in them.

What is up with the huge gaps in American stalls, I'll never understand.

Dude have you ever been here? The gaps here are large enough you can slide yourself through the bottom, stabd on the toilet and look over to your neighbor, or see what they're doing through the sudes of the door. It's so dumb. You got it right in the UK, no gaps at the door, and the bottom is only a gap of a few centimeters

I have been in airport toilets where there is a foot long gap at the bottom of the cubicle and if you stand on the toilet you can see in to the next cubicle, plus such toilets look as of they were just knocked up out of plywood.

Found this, some very cool toilets, perhaps this is the way forward.

Those gaps are integrated into the design to allow for settling. Anyone whose had a sticking door will understand that.

I don't get it. If a transgender man wants to use a women's restroom I assume he wants to be a woman? So why would he want to use a urinal? He can just scoot back on the seat and tuck it.

Totally makes sense to me that ladies rooms would have a urinal.....due to the fact that some "women" are packing a Johnson these days

The obese will be next, no doubt wanting specially designed reinforced toilets made from iron girders, as part of their basic human rights.
