I didn't see any mention of that in the article.

It looks like you are conflating this issue with another.

Where are these gender neutral bathrooms?
Apparently in the UK, since this is a re-write of a Daily Mail tabloid article.

When I was a kid, we had gender neutral outhouses. Everybody used the same one. If it was a two-hole, you could hold hands.

Well, left wing women are responsible for this through their votes. Let them deal with it.

If they have stalls like here in the US then they're not completely enclosed and you can peek in the stall.

To me, they look just like what we have in this country. You mean you can peek under the door? So you're not going to see much unless you lie on the floor and look up.

I think the Daily Mail was just exaggerating to make a story about nothing. And I may be in the minority but I think boys should go to the boys room and girls should go to the girls room. And if there is ever a person who isn't sure what they are, then they are not going to feel comfortable going to a gender neutral bathroom so that the others can make fun of them for obviously not knowing what they are. Also, the SJW that some conservatives talk about are extremists who should mostly be ignored.

I remember as a teen being shamed for my period because a stupid boy went in my bag and pulled out a pad. Guys have been stupid a long time. Seems way over blown to me. Probably some hyper snowflake mother having a fit when she heard there was a bathroom for all. No dang biggie. Get over it. Kids likely won’t have up An issue unless their parents teach them to.

I'm talking about the inch to two inch gap in the areas where the walls and doors come together.
