All-gender WC

These toilets know no gender

A local educational institution in Lower Austria is now proving that diversity has arrived in all areas of life. More precisely: its toilets. Unisex toilets are now available there. What this is all about and how they are received - the "Krone" was in front of "Örtchen".

All genders welcome! Gendering has now become established in many places, but it will probably take some time yet when it comes to the restroom. Because opinions are divided here. Instead of the traditional men's and women's toilets, some places now have so-called all-gender toilets. What used to be impossible in small cafés due to lack of space is now paying tribute to the new gender roles. The unisex toilets are available to both men and women as well as people who do not identify as men or women.
