A podcast discussion by Ori and content creator Kavya Karnataka on gender-neutral bathrooms has gone viral on social media. Clip, from an episode of Learn by KK Createhas sparked debate on gender-neutral spaces, women’s safety and personal comfort.

During the talks, Karnataka argued in favor of gender-neutral spaces. The debate escalated when Ori asked if she would be comfortable if a man used the same bathroom as her daughter. Ory’s supporters said the question highlights the difference between public positions and private comfort levels, while critics said the issue is more complex than a simple yes-or-no answer.

In the clip, Ori opposed the idea of ​​”genderless spaces” and said separate facilities were important for women’s safety and to avoid confusion, especially in India.

Many others posted messages of “respect” for Orie. One user wrote, “How come Ori is so decent despite being such a weird character that he portrays online. This is the second time his statement made me happy. Nice guy.”

Another comment said, “Much respect for Ori. Brutally exposed the delusional mind of a fake liberal. Laughing at embarrassment or don’t care attitude.”

A different user said, “Now I understand why he moves in celebrity circles. He’s not a newbie or a fool. He’s a erudite, logical person whose company many enjoy,” while another said, “Who would have thought Ori is more of a man than many men.”

Singer Sona Mahapatra also weighed in on the debate around gender-neutral spaces. She reacted to the video in the comments section and argued that discussions about inclusivity cannot ignore the safety concerns faced by women in public spaces.

“Gender-neutral spaces’? Dear lady, the woke kingdom you live in sounds lovely. But have you traveled as a young woman in India in a Delhi bus or unreserved train compartment? I have. The harassment was constant. Until safety is equal, can we really pretend to be vulnerable? Dear India, has this changed and I am out of sync with the times? Feel free to correct me.
Dear gentleman, good luck to you,” he wrote.
