A social media user whack-job/influencer named Morgonn McMichael, who goes by the handle MORGONN on X (formerly Twitter), was so floored by an “all-gender” restroom at the Kansas City Airport that she turned on her phone camera and started recording inside. “This is crazy! I’ve never seen an all-gender bathroom. I’m not going in here,” she says after filming inside the restroom. Continue reading “Conservative Influencer Mocked For Recording In All Gender Bathroom”

The town of Porthcawl in Wales plans to spend around $200K (£170,000) to install ‘anti-sex’ public toilets.
From The Guardian:
Violent movement sensors would automatically open the doors and sound high-pitched alarms, with fine water jets soaking the interior. Weight-sensitive floors would ensure only one user could be in a cubicle at a time, to safeguard against “inappropriate sexual activity and vandalism”.
Porthcawl town council is spending £170,000 on the futuristic toilets in Griffin Park, according to WalesOnline. The planning documents detail a range of security features to deter rough sleeping, including an audible warning, combined with lights and heating being switched off.
All toilets would be fitted with a full high-pressure floor and wall washer which could be operated after every use, or after a certain number of users per day. Each night the toilets would close for 10 minutes while the unit undertakes a deep clean.
As The Guardian notes, some folks wonder what the baseline weight would be before tripping the alarms and water jets…?
We know this will end badly.A traveller walks in with luggage and places it down.
A parent walks in with a child who kicks legs while sitting on the toilet.
A person shaking their hands dry.
Or.. the sensor will simply malfunction.This is very much part 1 of a 2 part tale.
