If only I somehow learned to use it when not writing documents. Mea so fucking culpa.
Mostly certainly. Unisex toilets have been standard in Norway and still is, depending on establishments. Basically, the finer establishments will have male and female toilets usually, though not always. And I can remember complaints from women for half my life about having to share toilets with men for sanitary reasons. There are “finer” places with clean unisex toilets too, but you know, you have to have someone to wash them more often if used by males (that is just how it is). In general, toilets are clean though. But you know, some exceptions and so on…
But that doesn’t have much to do with gender at all. It’s just that i am a stickler for accuracy and details.
Not any of this matters and never have I have of frothing anger regarding unisex toilets, but irritation? Yes, since I was a kid. But again, it’s about sanitaton, not anything else.
If we must talk about toilets then what about those Turkish ones used on French motorway lay-bys. Shit everywhere except in the pan. You can take as much care as you like to hit the pan however as soon as you try and flush it away it shoots out to attack your feet.

Lol !
Look, I have absolutely no idea why the transgender debate continued for 34 posts after Toro made his final post, then entered toilets. But seems some people have a deep interest both in that and toilets 
When I logged on today, I had 34 posts unread on this topic. I assumed a Toro-bombardment and that was partly true. But it escapes me why our dear friend Bekloppt has not made a tiny grumble, given this is less interested and meaty, than Scandinavian nationalism 
But as long as we are having fun.

She is a woman!
You are essentially saying sorry, but she is too good at boxing to be allowed to compete.
This is fucking surreal

Everywhere becomes unisex on Carnival here. A true celebration of the diversity of all bodily excretions.

To be clear, there is no direct evidence the IBA made it up. But there is a striking lack of corroboration of the accusation and people were waiting for the IBA to drop a turd in the punchbowl because of the politics of the boxing and Russia’s involvement in the Olympics was already a mess and rife for some Kremlin ratfucking.
A year or two prior they had their Olympic affiliation removed over corruption issues and so boxing at the 2024 Olympics was being run by the IOC itself. People were expecting some form of propaganda retaliation, some way to give the Olympic event a black eye. This was more than boxing, but part of the grander plan of their Kremlin paymasters who were already in conflict with the IOC. To many people, this was the boxing version of the Hunter Biden laptop story which is a big part of the reason why the IoC played it with such a straight bat.

Haven’t the IOC responded to this mess by dropping boxing from the Olympics entirely?
It was, but they changed their mind for the LA games in 2028:

Indeed. I have been in many a crowded bar (rugby international day usually) where the facilities cannot cope with the numbers. The gents has become unisex in those instances.

The Main Stand at Anfield was like that in the 1980s, “OK lads… lady coming in.” and hoping no one accidentally exposed themselves.

Now on the jobs reports

The thing those of us who were told we were being hysterical (“they havent killed 6 million jews yet”) warned of was the elimination of truth in government/public data should Trump get back in. Truth would be whatever the government says it is…and we are here.
“We pretended to find fault with the jobs reports, and now you’ve pretended to believe that you should also pretend to believe that whatever we say about inflation is true.”
