Hostile seating is often not accessible.
A seat that requires me to bear weight through my legs isn't a good seat for me. I'm trying to take weight OFF my legs. Something that requires balancing isn't good as my balance is poor.
@NatalyaD There's a concept in civil engineering history known as the "urinary leash". Essentially, if you can prevent people from peeing then they will self segregate. This isn't some obscure detail, this is first year landscape architecture.
In the US this has been used as far back as Jim Crowe. Today we see this in paid urinals, trans bathroom bills, and hostile design against the unhoused or inebriated.
@Stabbi I have heard of the term and yes it's very appropriate. Victorian women were tied to home or similar because there weren't public toilets or it wasn't socially acceptable for them to use them.
I am sure we could find evidence of this for any made-marginalised group, women, Black people, disabled people, trans/queer folk and so on.
We must resist it. Or have a mass piss in!
