Thoughts on Assigning Genders to One-Toilet Bathrooms?

Hi! So I m a teenage boy at a small sailing club that has two, one-toilet bathrooms. One bathroom is the "Girls" bathroom and the other is the "Boys" bathroom. I always used to use the Boys, one person bathroom, until a couple of years ago. I realized that the "Girls" bathroom is set up way nicer: it has a stand, a nice cabinet, the floor is not always wet, and there s a nice painting in it. The only difference that makes it a "Boys" bathroom is that, unlike the "Girls", it has a toilet, and a urinal. I started to use the one made for girls for the aforementioned reasons. Recently, however, the majority of younger males in the sailing program (around ages 8-14) started following my lead in using the "Girls" bathroom. Most of the females at my club had no problem with me using "their" bathroom until there was a large influx of people using it too. Last night, the toilet was even clogged from the overuse. Now, all males are being forced to use the "Boys" bathroom again, are arent allowed to use the "Girls". I m really upset about this, and it s making me really frustrated. I don t understand why one-toilet bathrooms have to be assigned male and female. Now I m thinking about all those times I had to wait behind two people to use the male bathroom, when the female s was open. At this restaurant I visited they had two, one-person bathrooms, both signs for either male or female. Please let me know your thoughts and opinions.

    I think we need to have unisex bathrooms everywhere.
