@zed @Mimesatwork as if public toilets in eg. europe were generally free to use 🙄 ("free to our customers" is not free. sure, public libraries usually have free toilets, but there are only so many public libraries)

@zed @Mimesatwork not necessarily, I visited several Chinese cities and they all had many free public toilets that were in pretty decent conditions. Not all of them had accessible toilets though.

@zed @Mimesatwork if it requires a fee to enter the bathroom, it isn't accessible to everyone because some people might simply not have change on them, or might not have enough money at all to pay to go to the bathroom. As far as I'm concerned, access to bathroom facilities is a human right and should be available to all, regardless of your ability to pay. Funnily enough this is an area that the United States actually does pretty well at. Almost every public space has a public restroom. I've gone to the bathroom at the freaking state capital multiple times for the simple reason that it was the nearest public building so I knew the restrooms would be available to me.
