Locker rooms are stupid too, same for urinals. They are all cost cutting measures that are socially enforced.
Make individual changing rooms and individual bathrooms. Let the stall door actually reach the floor. Boom, now people get privacy and don't have to worry about intruders.
I like privacy, but keep in mind, your solution literally would cost more money than we currently spend on bathrooms and locker rooms. I don't know how much that would be, but as a lib right, I imagine you prefer cost savings when possible and don't want the government mandating the more expensive option.
And the reason the sex segregated restrooms are socially enforced is because they're reinforcing a biological reality.
I prefer to spend money where I want and for money use to be efficient. If taxes were optional, I would happily pay some but not all in the view that it would function commercially, but I digress.
It wouldn't cost more money. We have family bathrooms, men's bathrooms, women's bathrooms. That's 3 unique areas that all need plumbing and tiling. I don't know if you've noticed, but you can routinely hear someone NOT use the urinal or toilet whenever you enter. So that is time wasted because of the desire for actual privacy, not these visual-blockers. In addition to the construction of 2 poor restrooms, where you'll see lines for one sex and not the other. Inefficient.
The idea that it's socially enforced because it's reinforcing something is some weird double-reality and now people are attaching their identity to it. They don't want a bathroom with shared sexes, so they will heavily defend it from change - they aren't willing to see that they defend it so vigorously because they don't want to share it with their same sex either.
they don't want a bathroom with shared sexes
That is a level of delusion I rarely see from lib right. Let's even completely ignore the gender identity issue. Ask women of they'd be comfortable with men in their locker rooms or bathrooms. And make sure to tell them, no, not trans women, cis men.
I also love how you see urinals and sex segregated bathrooms as cost saving measures that don't reduce costs. Which is it?
