Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I wasn't reflecting my feelings on the subject, was merely trying to understand why this has all become highlighted...
I was just pointing out that whether you use women's bathrooms or men's, the same point applies: this concern about the genitals of the person in the next stall is a weird non-problem cooked up by bigots, yet the politicians scramble to appease them.
So why do we have male & female bathrooms in the first place then ...
Yes, why? A lot of spaces have unisex toilets, no problem at all
Originally they came about as a means of keeping women out of public life and in the home. Buildings would often designate toilets as "Men's" as an excuse to make them inaccessible. Its really that daft and sexist.
Urinals. Most restaurants and cafes have unisex cubicles. When you get to pubs and nightclubs you can get more pee draining space per square foot with a urinal.
As far as I understand it nothing stops an establishment just declaring all their toilets as unisex. I've certainly been in a number of drinking establishments where this has been the case.
Good question.
An important, non-rhetorical question that's worth answering.
Because men are rapists.
So instead of taking it out on everybody else, just address that actual issue.
