Plenty more reasons were given besides a risk of sexual assault (not just pedophiles, mind you). There are 325 replies on this topic for you to read regarding those reasons. You guys just fixate on pedophilia, which is rather disturbing in and of itself.
All the pro arguments consist of red herrings, and no proof. Anecdotal evidence is not evidence. Even when provided with proof that they do pose a risk, they are discarded as not important, which means you don't really care what the risk.
That's not having a debate, and calling foul on things that you yourself are equally guilty of is laughable.
Good show!
Basically, the pro-argument is that there is no inherent danger or risk in having a unisex bathroom.
You pulling one article from google from a 'sexual assault family bathroom' search is not proof that there is an inherent risk for sexual offence because it is in a unisex bathroom.
All reasons I've seen to be against unisex bathrooms are prude OR fearfull of sexoffense. Both of which are laughable in and of themselves.
There is nothing traumatical about nudity. There is nothing shamefull about nudity. Nudity is not the same as sexuality. On the off chance that a female child sees a penis in a unisex public restroom, there is nothing wrong with that if that child was brought up with healthy notions about human nudity/genetalia. They aren't gross or dirty or filthy or weird or ....
Nothing suggests that
just because your child (or anyone) is in a unisex bathroom it is in a greater risk of being sexually molested.
