I recently went out to a bar in Brunswick, Melbourne. Since the last time I was there all the toilets have been made unisex. Whilst I was in line, a male person wearing female clothing joined the line and tried to make small talk with me. I have not experienced this behaviour from other women during previous visits to this venue. I also saw unattended drinks left on the sink.

What really made me angry was a sign inside the formerly-female toilet doors saying there has been an increase in drink spiking, and could patrons please let management know what could be done to make the venue safer. Having a female-only toilet would be something that would make women safer.
