    My mother: I would never use a unisex bathroom.

    Me: the bathroom in your house is unisex

    Mother: that’s different that’s family

    Me: so you wouldn’t let the plumber or electrician use the bathroom?

    Mother: confused stare

        Depends how badly you gotta go while your sibling is in the shower. And spouses often walk in on each other, with a knock and permission of course

      I understand where this point comes from, but it always comes across as vapid to me. Obviously when people express concern about gender-neutral bathrooms, they’re talking about multi-user gender-neutral bathrooms.

        So don’t have multiple people share a seat?

        Seriously though, it’s not hard to have an open space with multiple stalls.
