The number of all-gender toilets will not be halved, urinals will not be removed and there will be mirrors in the toilet cubicles. Furthermore, the university will look at better distribution of gender-neutral toilets in the educational buildings. So says the Executive Board in a written response to the University Council’s proposal<\/a> on the distribution and number of the toilets.<\/p>\n

In the proposal, the University Council informed that women in particular feel uncomfortable sharing the toilet with people of a different gender identity. \u201cThis unease is exactly what non-binary people also experience when they have to choose between the gender-segregated toilets,\u201d the board responded. \u201cMultiple groups of people share these concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adding a third, non-binary toilet area is not feasible and not necessarily the intention, the board explains. Therefore, from the perspective of inclusion, the board has converted existing gender-segregated toilet groups into all-gender toilets: \u201cNo toilets are taken from anyone, they can just be used by everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t
