woman is angry after finding a man using a urinal in a male bathroom that had been incorrectly labelled as gender-neutral.

Associate professor Sarahjane Jones, 35, attended a Health Research Authority (HRA) conference at the Science and Industry Museum, in Manchester, on Wednesday.

When she went to use the bathroom, she chose the one labelled inclusive with a sign depicting a male, a female and a mix of the two.

She claims to have walked in on a man using a urinal, who she would have had to pass to get to a cubicle.

Sarahjane, who researches patient safety at Staffordshire University, later tweeted about her bathroom experience saying: This is not an example of inclusively! And is wholly unacceptable.

More than 1,000 people have since commented on the post, with one commentator calling it insane and another writing: Funny how this inclusion always excludes women.

The museum has since confirmed it accidentally labelled this gender-neutral toilet as inclusive when it was supposed to be just for men. While the museum does indeed offer gender-neutral facilities, these bathrooms are typically made up of cubicles for privacy and no urinals.

But workers had to adapt the space used for the HRA event and a male bathroom was incorrectly labelled as gender-neutral, a spokesperson said.

The HRA said it has apologised to Sarahjane for the distress caused and explained that it had requested for the museum to be made inclusive of all genders.

A spokesperson for the public body said: The signs were replaced as soon as we became aware of the issue.

We have discussed with the venue. Both the HRA and the museum will learn from this to ensure the same mistakes are not made in the future.

They added: We regret any distress caused by this incident, which occurred at a private event at the museums conference centre, where there are male, female and accessible toilet facilities.

Some clients request all-gender facilities, which we offer by changing the signage on the toilets which only have cubicles.

However, in this isolated instance, a facility which included a urinal was mistakenly signposted as an all-gender toilet, in addition to the spaces which have private cubicles only.

Our organisational position is that toilets which include urinals will not be used as an all-gender facility. As a museum group that aims to be open for all we believe that being able to use the toilet of your choice is your right. In the public-facing spaces of the museum we offer male, female and all-gender toilets, in addition to accessible toilets and a changing places facility.

They should've had Gender Neutral Urinals:

Problem would've been solved.

And instead of having Male/Female/Gender Neutral bathrooms.

We should have Pee / Poo stalls that are all individually enclosed from ground to ceiling so that nobody can disturb you while you're on your bio break.

We can have shared sinks and that would solve most issues.

Unisex toilets are supposed to be entirely cubicles like womens toilets.

Women as a generalization aren't comfortable watching guys piss or knowing there's a guy pissing outside of their cubicle.

The Museum fucked up and put that sign on the mens toilet so when you walk in you're greeted with guys with their cock out peeing everywhere.

You can install stall walls on anything, it's just a manner of design / $$$.

& Gender Neutral Urinals can have stall walls / grating around them

If I'm understanding, the issue isn't that there was a man in there but rather that there was an open urinal instead of all closed stalls like one would typically see in a gender neutral bathroom. Like if you walk into a gender neutral bathroom you're not supposed to see anyone just out in the open peeing like you do in a men's room

Mens rooms would be a lot more efficient if instead of urinals, they just had the entire floor slant downwards to a singular drain in the center of the room. Sure, keep the stalls for people who gotta take a dump, but time is precious for the rest of us.

Tbh if a neutral bathroom -must- be only stalls, I'd like if we kept men's rooms with urinals, too.

How does that work in buildings with multiple floors? Do the people downstairs just get peed on regularly?

The same way regular toilets and urinals work in buildings with multiple floors. It just all falls down a hole to the floor below.

The trick is to put a drain in the center of each of those rooms, so it all eventually finds its way to the ocean. Or Arbys.

You realize bathrooms are regularly on different floors, right? Same thing. The drain would go to a pipe that gets led to a treatment plant and then to the water supply.

This could work for women too, since its not on a wall they can just squat down.

I will give you a riddle!

I have to pee.

But first, answer my clever riddle!

Get outta my way I'm going to pee my pants!

Start riddleing, The riddle starts now.

I'm Going to riddle my foot up your ass!

Close! Try again! Riddle your way to relief.

Come to think of it, all public bathrooms should make you have to solve a riddle before potty time. It would be hilarious.
Put it on a loudspeaker to so others in line can hear the riddles.

I could see it being real. As much as people roll their eyes at the claim, there is a school of 'inclusion' that seeks to nullify or eliminate things identified as 'male'.
