Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

That would be a ‘universal’ toilet and thus allowed.

According to ministers, 81% agreed with the intention for separate single-sex toilet facilities in a consultation on the proposals, while 82% also agreed with the intention to provide “universal” toilets – a self-contained, and a fully enclosed toilet room with a wash hand basin for individual use – where space allows.

God these people are fucking stupid.

That's a gender neutral bathroom.

It doesn't mean there's a stripper pole and a doctor handing out hormones.

The thing they’re against is communal handwashing apparently.

Wait, your bathrooms don't have a doctor handing out shots hanging around in the corner?

It's unsanitary. Don't want nothin spreading. My kitchens though, let's just say my lasagna ain't the only thing cooking in there.

What boggles me is that the latter "universal toilet" is what most conservatives ferociously battled when it is called a "gender neutral bathroom", like disabled bathrooms and residential ones. Face=palm.
