loo interventions

here are some ideas and concrete examples how to intervene into binary genderings in public spaces like bathrooms and changing rooms. binary genderings in these spaces are very often as well de-conceptualizing interdependencies of ableism and genderism, when toilets are differentiated for women and men and for disableised people. are disableised people not gendered or does it not play any role for them? and does it mean that women and men are ableised? some of the ideas and interventions we want to present here, will take these dimensions activistically_artistically into account. bathroom changes is a very concrete topic and place to intervene into interdependent norms of binary genderings.
