The toilet has become the frontline of gender neutrality, completely ignoring the interests of women. Since the signs were changed, the toilets have become dirtier, and many women are looking for a restroom intended only for women, where they don\u2019t have to sit in someone else\u2019s urine, or because they don\u2019t feel comfortable or safe with men present in the restroom.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bogus argument<\/h2><p>When discussing the necessity of gender-neutral toilets, you\u2019ll often hear: \u201cYou share the bathroom at home, don\u2019t you?\u201d That\u2019s a bogus argument. Firstly, I can remind my male housemates to put the seat up, but doing so at university would be impractical and would make me look ridiculously petty, verging on Karen-level behaviour.<br>\nFurthermore, it\u2019s not just about the toilet itself, but primarily about the space outside it. The mirror where you quickly straighten your skirt or check if there\u2019s anything in your teeth.<br>\nWhat I\u2019m wondering is: \u201cHas the female student body been asked if they\u2019re keen on having a publicly shared toilet?\u201d I certainly missed the survey or the suggestion box where I could voice my opinion. And it wouldn\u2019t be the first time that policies are made completely disregarding women\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Women feel unsafe<\/h2><p>Diversity means space for everyone, including women. So, it\u2019s no surprise to me that some female students at Erasmus have expressed objections to gender-neutral toilets, leading the university council to propose halving their number.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal wasn\u2019t immediately embraced. For instance, council member Cagla Altin (Erasmus Alliance) voted against the suggested advice: \u201cIt took months for the proposal to come to the table. I believe we shouldn\u2019t reduce the number of all-gender toilets. That decision could hurt non-binary and trans students and staff.\u201d<br>\nIt seems that Altin considers women feeling unsafe to be of secondary importance. And the fact that it took months is, of course, completely irrelevant. Good policymakers listen to the people for whom the policy is intended, they evaluate their policy, and make adjustments when necessary \u2212 that\u2019s not a shame, it\u2019s good leadership.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New toilet concept is not the solution<\/h2><p>Altin assumes that non-binary and trans students and staff will feel hurt, but aren\u2019t they precisely the group who know what it\u2019s like to feel unsafe or even threatened? Wouldn\u2019t this group be particularly willing to sacrifice a portion of the gender-neutral toilets for those who need a safe space? Altin would do well, therefore, to sit down with the people concerned and listen to what they want.<\/p>\n<p>The solution to gender inequality doesn\u2019t lie in devising a new toilet concept but in a change of mentality. It\u2019s about accepting people as they are, regardless of their gender, regardless of how they look, regardless of whom they love. Only then do we climb another rung on the equality ladder.<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/persons\" class=\"mt-6 md:mt-8 lg:mt-10\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"sr-only\">De
