Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Urinals are purely there to increase throughput and reduce cleaning time. Just get rid.
Increasing throughput and reducing cleaning time are both good things, though.
Increased throughput means less queuing and being able to quickly relieve yourself. In a shared toilet, this would benefit men and women alike.
Making cleaning quicker and easier means it'll happen more and be less disruptive when it does happen.
But if you want to make true ungendered toilets (as was suggested) that are accessible to all, having a section where a bunch of guys all basically get their cocks out and piss in a trough kinda prevents that.
Just have one room full of urinals, one room full of stalls, both ungendered. So then anyone can use any facility they feel most comfortable with.
Sometimes gendered stuff makes sense - like urinals. As you mentioned they're efficient and I'd imagine a large part of why the gents toilets don't have big queues. I'm all for trans folk using whatever toilet they want, I'm more worried about the folk who are presumably checking everyone's genitals to make sure they're in the correct toilet.
Trans women can use urinals too if they want. Not sure where you're getting the piss trough thing from I've only ever seen one of those at boy scout camp 30 years ago. Most urinals are individual stalls and are great for not having to smell the horrendous dump someone just took in the toilet stalls.
