How the fuck is that in any way safe?

It’s supposed to prevent “bullying and harassment”. I wonder if this is how they’re dealing with the danger of letting males into female locker rooms; since they’re unwilling to just keep them out, they’re monitoring safety via see through walls.

The thing about these walls is that, depending on how they're made and how the monitoring is set up, there's still a horrid potential for abuse, but now the people being perved on won't even know for certain that it's happening. All of these dumbass hoops and workarounds, and nobody is willing to just grow a fucking spine, stand up on their hind legs like an actual person, and say in no uncertain terms "biological males do not belong in locker rooms with biological females."

It's more like the logic of "prison toilets" in the sense that no privacy means that people can't hide things without notice I think. You see the same logic in public parks and other areas.

On the one hand it does mean that people can't shoot up or have sex as easily without getting caught.

As you mention people can just perv easily but I think the pervert hanging around is also likely to get caught.

Personally I'm of the cynical mind that these design choices are done because the establishment wants to clear their own liability when bad things happen so they make a change like this which ostensibly has some reasoning in safety, but the actual effect is that women won't change somewhere there is a view, so way less people will use it, meaning less problems and less work for staff cleaning and otherwise.

Same with park restrooms, you can open up the stalls and have zero privacy. Women will refuse to use them 99% of the time, so you have less to clean.
