A theatre in London is being criticised by the users on social media for merging the ladies' and gents' lavatories. The Playhouse Theatre is the latest to launch unisex public toilet, joining the trend to provide a gender-inclusive place to transgender population or those outside the gender binary. I avoid public toilets like the plague because they're revolting. But if I need to use one, I really don't want to be sharing it with strange men 🙅🏻♀️ #ThisMorning I couldn't care any less wether they're gender neutral toilets as long as we all have somewhere to pee. I think it's important to make facilities accessible to everyone no matter what their gender identity is. #thismorning
People visited the Playhouse to watch Eddie Redmayne and Jessie Buckley in Cabaret, and bought tickets for as high as £250. They vented out their anger on Twitter.
