Posted by Paul (Cambs) on 12/6/2006, 7:26 pm, in reply to "Re: use of disabled toilets?" Use of disabled toilets? Well the question for me is does suffering from paruresis mean that you are disabled? To answer that question you would have to establish whether disabled toilets are meant solely for the use of physically disabled people who cannot use 'normal' public toilets? Hang on a minute.................. 'cannot use normal public tiolets'........ isn't that us? (Note that by the wording above I've already discriminated against mentally disabled people who may also choose to use the diabled toilet facility but may not 'need' to. How many people would challenge them?)I doubt very much whether you would ever find a disabled person who would mind waiting for a few minutes while you used the toilet if you explained to them why. Obviously I'm not suggesting that you do but the fact is that you could validate your use if challenged. Think of the people who are caught and fined for urinating in doorways once the pubs/clubs throw out (I'm not suggesting that this is acceptable - depending on the exact location, but)how many of these people are unable to 'go' in a packed out club toilet scenario? Would they be able to overturn an imposed fine in court? Lots of work for you to undertake in the future perhaps - lol ;-)
