BURLINGTON, Vt. -- The University of Vermont's big new student center doesn't just have women's bathrooms and men's bathrooms.
It also has gender-neutral bathrooms, a feature added to accommodate transgendered people, as well as those with some disabilities. The four single bathrooms in the new Dudley H. Davis Center -- each with a toilet, sink, shower, and lockable door -- cost about $2,500 a piece to build. Their wall signs identify each as "gender neutral restroom."
"It's about inclusivity and accessibility and the importance of meeting all people's needs, not just a few," said Annie Stevens, assistant vice president for student and campus life.

Four bathrooms, four threads.
Monuments to the insane world we now live in.
Yesterday, I was at the local airport. I went into the mens’ room and at the point of washing my hands when in walks a woman. I said “This is the mens’ room.” Well, I am not sure in what language she responded, but I think she told me to “go to hell” considering the tone. And yes, a womens’ room was no more than two feet away and working because others went into it.
Have to love that Newspeak. It appears, Ms Stevens, you are meeting only a few people's needs.
“...not just a few”
how many transgenders does UVM have ?
“How about just changing the labels: XX and XY!?”
Stop. Just stop. We wouldn’t want a matter like *genetic truth* getting in the way of our gender identity.
Sheesh... some people...!
They haven’t thought this through, they need at least one more category....... where is the special bathroom facility for....
“METROSEXUAL DOUCHEBAGS”
After all, Howard Dean and John Edwards and Jon Cary need someplace to go, too, when they are visiting UVM.
