Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Disabled toilets are already gender neutral, I guess they'll just stick another sign on the door?
Most of the disabled stalls I’ve encountered (at least in the US) are within the gendered bathrooms. So even if the stall is nominally gender neutral one first has to enter the men’s room or women’s room.
Ah, in the UK the disabled ones are separate and you need a key
Yeah here in the good ol (hahahaha) USA most establishments have a separate “restroom” for men and women which consist of a row of sinks for washing up and a number of stalls for toilets (and urinals in men’s rooms of course).
Sometimes the urinals are just in a row on the wall with no dividers between. But there’s usually one or two disabled stalls as well, although they’re not locked in any way.
Do you know you can just buy those keys online?
I didn't know this for years. So handy.
But be careful as people will ask staff for the key and open it on you haha
Why? It is already so invenient for people without disabilities to somewhere and ask for something, that for disabled it will be nearly-impossible.
Disabled people can buy keys for a couple of quid
Not disable also can. Kinda useless.
It's not. I have ulcerative colitis and find it very useful.
I have seen some separate restrooms that are unisex plus handicap accessible. Think they are labeled "Family Restroom." Haven't used one though.
