So agree with all this! And there’s something about the “(very public)” tag line that to me just has a wink wink nudge nudge YOU HAVE TO BE CONFIDENT IN THE SIZE OF YOUR PENIS TO PISS HERE vibe as well. It’s not ridiculous for us women to not be comfortable with a man having his penis out a few metres from us, given what we contend with and how many of us have been subjected to viewing a penis without wanting to.
I’ve reached my daily limit for using the word “penis” but also to say: All the uproar about trans women using women’s toilets and yet this is fine? I’m furious too.
Quite right. I have two sons and a husband. They are often annoyed as I do ‘one last wee’ before we go out - they have no idea of the discomfort of just not being able to ‘go’, or having to take time out of your day to find a toilet you can use. And this x1000 for anyone with a disability no doubt. It’s all a bit ‘I’m alright Jack’. Loving your work as I love a rant but yours is very well worded unlike most of mine!
Absolutely agree with everything you’ve written here! It also encourages men who are so inclined to flash to have a cast iron excuse to get away with it as long as they’re in that public peeing area….. this planet has lost the plot big time x
One of the best representation of everything wrong with the city! Spending tax money on something that only benefits men - ugh - not to mention the fact that it encourages the constant public urination problem u see only in this country. In the rest of the world this get u arrested- here it’s encouraged - not to mention the hygiene and pervert side of someone peeing in front of you why u wait for a bus - disgusting and needs to be taken down asap + if you’re on a double-decker bus u can just look in so it’s just disgusting to have it - and a huge slap in the face to women- Iv left this as a Google review in case someone gets the idea to make more
I agree with all that was said in this post and I would just like to add that I discovered there are toilets in the bus area of Vauxhall, however there was a large notice on them saying they were closed and to use the urinal opposite. Luckily I had no need to go which is just as well as I'm a woman! No comments as to where we (women) where supposed to go.
Last year, in Rotterdam of all places, there was a public urinal outside a strip of bars. It was round with four or five places to stand and have a p*ss. I was amazed and grossed out. Meanwhile, I had to nip into a bar, downstairs to a very cramped loo. Where I had to pay €0.50 for the privilege …and no problem if you don’t have change, they took card!
The act of men peeing bothers me a hell of a lot less than the fact that they will not have washed their hand after and will be merrily walking around with willy fingers 🤮

HARD AGREE with everything you’ve said!!
Totally agree, I can’t believe this is a thing!!
This was an excellent read, such good points.
I couldn't agree with you more but you explain it so much more eloquently than I could have!
Yeah but have you considered that trans people might exist in non-public bathrooms?
Disgusting!!!

I thought it was an ironic art installation!
Also - the smell?! Surely it absolutely stinks.
