USS Gerald R Ford, the newest aircraft carrier, only has gender neutral toilets

[MicroBrew]

I can just picture a lot of rustled triggered jimmies when people read this.

"Every bathroom on the Ford is, for the first time, gender-neutral, equipped with flush toilets and stalls, according to Navy Times."

No reason to assume the design was influenced by the current social climate, rather it is just a better design but since it is being phrased as "gender neutral" , people are going to be rustled. The restroom facilities in the clinic I go to are gender neutral, and the clinic was built more than 15 years ago.

"This is designed to give the ship flexibility because there aren’t any berthing areas that are dedicated to one sex or the other," Operations Specialist 1st Class Kaylea Motsenbocker told Navy Times. "So if this space was needed for males, we could shift the females to other berthing areas and make this all male without any modification being necessary."

Does this mean females will still get their own restrooms, or am I reading that part wrong?

The females would get moved to other areas.

There's no women in the navy that's why all the sailors are gay

I have a family member who retired as a high ranking officer in the military. He always said that an aircraft carrier was never a good environment for a woman! He said the extreme ratio of men to women created many problems!

This reads like a Trump tweet lol

Dear women in the navy, welcome to the world of piss covered seats.

The Navy is spinning this pretty hard to cover up a stupid decision. Urinals are way better on a ship where plumbing is a huge issue keeping up, people piss way more often than shit and toilets waste more water and break more frequently.

Lol...That wasn't what I was trying to do. But great minds think alike!

I guess these are the things people get upset about these days, you'd think there are no important issues to deal with.

You know? I'm getting sick of trannies and queers. Just stop talking about em. Move the frickin' subject, America.

The navy is actually co-ed and one of the only branches you can get laid on the regular.

 

[BVG]

does it also come with safe spaces and cry zones?

 

[Stoic1]

Gonna be a lot of fucking going on in there.

 

[ShadowRun]

so they will waste more water without the urinals? Thanks for adding to the climate change and world pollution jerks !

I sensed LatFlare was dropping some sarcasm there.

I don't really see a big issue with this. Never been on a Navy carrier but I think this policy is most unfair to females who have to deal with men dropping deuces that are much more pungent.

Being nucler powered it won't make any difference as far as emissions are concerned.

All the big decisions today are made with trannies and queers in mind.

Hyperbole.
In every aspect. "All", "big decisions" and "mind".

I'm just sick of it being so much a part of the national convo that I gotta hear about it every goddamned day.
I don't see trannies and queers as much as I hear about em.

But I don't live in a big city anymore, either

 

[jrams]

Just come up with some military sounding term for them and people will be fine with them. "Military grade tactical bathrooms".

Cheers to those that can fuck in a few inches of sewage, ship shitters back up all the time...why you want urinals
