Do we actually need gender-specific spaces??
"Naked Norm"16 Jan 2025

Do we actually need gender-specific spaces??

Norm and Sophie take a closer look at how naturism and social nudity may actually eliminate the need for separate gender-specific spaces like bathrooms, showers, change rooms, etc.

Naturist parks, where communal nudity is practiced, offer a unique lens through which to examine societal gender norms, particularly concerning bathroom and shower spaces. This episode explores how the normalization of nudity in these parks challenges the gender binary and promotes inclusivity by removing clothing's association with social status and gender. The principles of inclusivity demonstrated in naturist parks inspire alternative designs for non-naturist spaces, such as gender-neutral bathrooms and universally accessible facilities, to foster greater acceptance of diverse bodies and identities. While fully adopting naturist practices in mainstream society presents challenges, the underlying philosophy offers valuable insights for creating more welcoming and inclusive environments.
