Gender-neutral bathrooms….
Posted by ABF on November 5, 2006Posters stoking support for gender-neutral bathrooms at the University of Alberta are getting a lukewarm reception from students walking the halls.
“I don’t think it’s necessarily a misdirected notion,” said history major Joe Nusse, 22. “I just don’t know if retrofitting buildings is really an option.”
The poster the Sun snagged from a bathroom in the U’s English department reads: “Infinite genders … two washrooms?
“Going to the washroom is often dangerous and stressful for transgendered, transsexual, intersexed, androgynous, and gender-ambiguous people.
“Would you like to have more gender-neutral, accessible, and single-stall washrooms at the U of A?”
I guess these … ahem .. so called people had to ram this agenda down everyones throat at some point. I fully agree with one of the students comments further down in the article.
She said it seems the people pushing for it are imposing their will on others.
“If I choose to be a vegetarian, I’m not going to expect everyone I’m hanging out with to be a vegetarian. It’s a choice if you practice (transgenderism) or not.
However, all that being said, gender-neutral bathrooms are not a new idea. We’ve had them around for decades. Maybe it’s time to re-visit the concept.

It Makes You Wonder How Our Education $$ Go
This is one of those campaigns that I could get wrapped up in....the last one I was personally involved in was the discussion about installing auto-flush equipment on urinals and much of the discussion involved ensuring that that angle of the dangle would serve all users.

Actually- your gender identity ISN'T a choice. It's not something you practice, it's something you're born. People try to repress it, and end up suicidal as a result. And when they DO act it out, they get killed by intolerant people. I don't think something to make the world safer for everyone is that awful to ask.
And they mentioned Intersexed. That's something you're physically born- there's no way to deny a person is intersexed. some people are born with genitalia that aren't clearly male or female- or with chromosomes that don't match their body. How could anyone call that a choice?
Are you in a time warp Ri? 2006?
