Ahem, does that mean gender-free in Dutch?
Just as I retired, the headteacher at the school where I worked had a brilliant idea. The way to combat misbehaviour in the students' toilets was to make them gender-free ... and with no door between the corridor and the toilets.
This meant that only the most private business was out of sight; any adult could enter to check behaviour; and loiterers were spotted straight away.
Hit the local press and then the Daily Fail for the next week. Then it worked brilliantly: no damage, no graffiti, no misbehaviour. And in terms of gender issues, ahead of its time.
So I'm all for gender-free toilets.
