Besides, goodluck using a urinoir with a vagina.

Bathrooms designated as "male" also have stalls. And whether or not you think something is "logical" should not force people to use one set of facilities over another.

You know.
In case you need a shit.

I don't know if you've ever used a stall in a public toilet, but they're often more resembling a shrine to Nurgle instead of an actual toilet. Wouldn't want to sit on that.

Quality isn't relevant here. That they exist is all you need.

I've had to take shits on metal stalls.

Festival shits are often pretty grotty.
I went Glastonbury once and it was literally juust a raised platform over a ditch.
The stalls were just holes in the platform with walls around it.

Gender is determined by how much Testosterone and Estrogen are in your body, therefore there can only be two.

Gender as we understand it today is a concept created by the Western world, and it was never originally based on hormones, just outward appearances. Other non-Western societies had more than two genders. Many Native Americans recognized "two-spirit" genders, the Thai people had kathoeys (sp?), at least one Polynesian people had a third gender, the Balkan nations had "sworn virgins". Saying there's only two genders is just false. Hell, when you take into account intersex individuals, some could argue that there's not even two sexes. So please, before you post something that's just objectively wrong, try to read some facts beforehand.

Intersex, as the name suggests, is a sex, something one is born with. Gender refers to either/or society's gender roles or a person's gender identity, and it does not necessarily line up with biological sex. A lot of people who claim there are only two genders are simply confusing the two terms.

No, its not. Its determined by psychology.

Also, even if gender was determined by hormone levels, that would still mean there's more than two. Haven't you ever heard of a fucking spectrum?

Not really. Intersex is a sex (as indicated by the last 3 letters of the word), not a gender.

Even if your premise were true, your conclusion does not follow from it.

Force? mm. Well, if its a public bathroom (As most gender-assigned bathrooms are) then you'll find yourself escorted out the property if you go in there with the wrong junk.

Right, so you want to force people to use one particular set of facilities for some completely arbitrary reason that makes absolutely no sense if you spend even five seconds thinking about it.

They're probably suffering from the misconception that sex = gender, then.
