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.
Wtf are you taking about😂 it’s just 2 bathrooms. 1 occupant each. It’s not complicated. Turn the men’s into single use and the women’s into single use. Simple. This is only a problem for venues that want to heard people into bathrooms like cattle.
