Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson, the Minister for the Environment and Natural Resources of Iceland, has announced a new regulation that requires toilets to be labelled based on facilities rather than gender. This change follows a query from Andrés Ingi Jónsson, a Pirate Party MP who has been advocating for the issue since 2020.
The regulation mandates that gender-neutral toilets must be provided wherever separate women’s and men’s toilets are available.
“For those of us who haven’t experienced it personally, this might seem minor, but it’s crucial for people to know whether they can access a toilet at work or school. It really matters,” says Andrés Ingi Jónsson, highlighting the importance of this change.
Or have education about how much piss goes everywhere when you pee. In Germany most men sit to pee most of the time, it is a cultural issue and can be changed. That said, if you do urinals, make them stalls too, I don’t want to chat with my pee neighbour.

[x] doubt.
I don’t even think that is true for the majority of men in their own home and it certainly is not for public toilets.

“62% of German men sit down “every time” or “most times” when they go pee. That’s more than men in 12 other countries surveyed worldwide.”
Of all 13 countries, Germany was the one where most men sat down “every time” to urinate (40%).
See, not most men.
