It gets worse.

I volunteer at a local tourist venue, and (IANMTU) the scariest unflushed (and nearly unflushable) turd turned up in the ladies room handicap stall . . .

A Simple Solution To The Bathroom Wars

(April 14, 2016 at 3:30 pm)Jenny A Wrote: Unisex bathrooms are the simple solution.

If all restrooms were unisex, no one would have to declare their sex in order to pee. It would also curb the hysteria over transgenders who merely wish to releive theselves. Simple.

Unisex restrooms would also solve a number of other social difficulties including: adults who need physical help in the restroom, but whose primary caretaker, or companion for the day, is of the opposite sex; parents or other persons looking after children of the opposite sex; and people looking after retarded people or people with dementia who are of the opposite sex; persons cleaning restrooms used by the opposite sex.

Unisex restrooms would also even out the line between the mens and the womens rooms. Urinals could be partitioned off from the main room to allow men (anyone with a functioning penis in this case) to do their business with the usual speed.

It would be considerably cheaper in buildings where more than 60 or 70 percent of the people using the building are of the same sex.

Many college dorms already have unisex restrooms without incident. Many business have made single stall restrooms unisex already. Portland business are building with single sex multi stall restrooms already. So far the sky hasn't fallen. There is no sudden uptick in sexual assault.

Why not go unisex?


I may be progressive, but I don't think I'm quite THAT progressive! [emoji13]

True. Story.

I live in terror of the possibility of finding FR in the women's room.

FR=France right?

Don't worry, I don't think you will find France -- or any other countries for that matter -- in a ladies room, Vorlon.

Why don't transgender men just use men's rest room and transgender women just use women's rest room? I don't understand why that is not possible?

The real solution put an end to this ridiculous explosion of so-called gender identities - 52 and counting on Facebook.

Use the San Francisco solution.  Put one of these up on every block.
