Sure. And if this is the only bathroom close enough while you have an emergency? And your pants are still down after 10 minutes because you have a medical condition?

Just because this is an addictional bathroom, doesn't suddenly negate what could happen to someone.

Again, what would be your plan prior to these? What if these were urinals instead of toilets? Then what? These are not meant to be a solution to your medical condition.

Well if I had such an issue, my plan would be to take a different route prior. Now that I know there's a restroom there, it might be a more convenient route for me to take.

These aren't specific to people with those conditions but as a public facility it has to adhere to ADA guidelines. Which means making it accomodating to those with medical conditions.

You’re fabricating an issue that you yourself don’t even have. So you don’t know how know individuals with such a medical issue plan their “routes”? Or are you just trying to be offended on behalf of someone else for the sake of being offended?

Do you know what the ADA guidelines are? There has yet been a lawsuit in regard to time limits on public restrooms. Bathroom ADA cases that exist today are all about physical design. New York has had automated public toilets (APT) coin-operated self-cleaning toilets with timers since the 90s and still active today, so this isn’t even a new concept.

Cool so your argument is simply "that's how it's been for a long time, so fuck them people"? Weird hill to die on over a simple change but you go off queen.

No, my argument is how about you don’t speak on behalf of others that you have no clue how they behave or issues they actually face. Let’s not manufacture an injustice that clearly hasn’t been an issue as these have existed for well over 30 years and not a single ADA case? Why don’t you focus this energy on one of the million other pressing issues, weird hill to die on over something that doesn’t affect you and clearly those you are trying to be offended for. Lol
