As long as there's a basic level of privacy, I really don't see what the difference is. I'm from Belgium, and there, it never really seems a problem.Are there a lot of unisex toilets in Belgium?
No, but you would just go to the men's toilet when the queues are too long for the ladies' and you really have to go. No one really minds. But here I feel a certain vibe if I do that.

Well, I work in a music venue. I often have to walk inside the toilets to put posters u I would walk in the toilet when someone is using the urinalsHave you ever seen really confusing toilet signs?
Yeah, I went to a very overrated restaurant in Mile End that was trying to be super cool, but it was just crap. It was just like two triangles and they'd positioned them in a certain position, that seriously could have been either or.Should Britain introduce unisex toilet?
I just don't care. I just want to go to the loo.

Kevin: Completely fine with it. I see no issue at all.Do you think it would bother women if men were in the toilet?
I mean, we live in the 21st century, right? Now we have gender fluidity, people have different sexes; we've just reached a point where it shouldn't really matter.Have you ever used a unisex toilet?
I've been to Goldsmiths University's student union building, which is completely unisex. I was a bit shocked. It's just unexpected.
Peter: A lot of the unisex toilets you see in restaurants are not concerned about dividing genders, but commercial constraints and space constraints.Why do you think there is still a gender divide in Britain's public toilets?
Kevin: Tradition, I guess. At the Pentagon, for instance, they have double the number of toilets because it was segregated according to race. So until about the 1960s, I think, you had a special toilet for black people. So maybe in the future we'll move past this divide as it's becoming more and more acceptable to be of the third gender. I think it's the way forward.

It depends on so many factors, but I like the idea of the ones in Fabric [nightclub] – one where everyone sort of congregates around the central wash. So yes to Unisex toilets in Britain?
Yeah, sure. Whatever people want, really.
Axel, 28, app developer.
Axel: Yes. The women's is usually cleaner than the guys'. A lot of guys stand up urinating, whereas girls don't have much of a choice. I usually sit down. I never use urinals.Do you have anything against urinals?
Yeah… I'm shy. Sometimes, in unisex toilets, women have become a little aggressive. They think I should use the urinals and not the cubicles because I'm a guy. I tell them I'm shy and close the door.Seeing as you don't use urinals, what's the dirtiest thing you've seen in a cubicle?
I've seen blood a few times. Blood and shit on the seat. Combined, it's like someone had a really bad experience in there.What do you think would happen if a cheap British nightclub introduced unisex urinals?
I think it could be a fun experience. There would be a lot of interesting conversations going on in there. But queues might be longer.

Marina: It wouldn't matter. The important thing is the cleanliness of the place. Men's toilets are always in a worse condition to the women's.

Yes. I have no problem with sharing a toilet in a student hall of residence. But in a pub, I don't know if it would work well for women to share a toilet with wasted men who have different tendencies. Maybe partygoers should not have unisex toilets.Have you seen some pretty disturbing things in the women's, or something?
Yeah, I've seen some really bad things in McDonald's toilets. They were splashed in blood. I know it's a chain, but come on now.
Andrea: I've seen pretty much everything. If people have a problem, they find a place. And that tends to be the public toilet.More on VICE:The Five Times I've Literally Shit My Pants Brown Death: A History of Poop as a WeaponAnus Horribilis: A Year Ago Today, Someone Did a Shit So Bad it Grounded a Plane
