Why are there gendered bathrooms?
<|assistant|>
Gendered bathrooms (i.e. those designated for either males or females) have come to be seen as a way to keep people safe, provide privacy, and maintain hygiene standards in public spaces. Additionally, gendered bathrooms offer an opportunity for people to safely express the gender identity that they feel most comfortable with. However, there has been much discussion about the role of gendered bathrooms in society and whether or not they should exist. Some argue that they are a necessary evil and others are seeking to create gender neutral bathrooms as an alternative.
