Latest White House feature: Gender-neutral restroom
Politico ^ | 4-8-15 | Sarah Wheaton

President Barack Obama’s staff and visitors now have the option of using a gender-neutral restroom, a White House spokesman said Wednesday — the latest in a series of symbolic steps the Obama administration has taken to work the priorities of the LGBT community into its broader themes of inclusiveness and tolerance.

The newly designated restroom is an example of how the administration has been advancing the discussion by raising the profile of transgender issues, an area of debate that is especially hotly contested right now. The restroom will be located in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, where much of the White House staff works.

“An all-gender restroom is also available in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which provides guests and staff an additional option,” said White House spokesman Jeff Tiller.

It’s a follow-up on Obama’s executive order, which went into effect Wednesday, banning discrimination against gay and transgender employees of companies that contract with the federal government.

“The White House allows staff and guests to use restrooms consistent with their gender identity, which is in keeping with the administration’s existing legal guidance on this issue and consistent with what is required by the executive order that took effect today for federal contractors,” Tiller also noted.

A room with a throne and a sink. They’re making it sound like the most common form of toilet facility in the country is some sort of political revelation.

Once there was a man who came in dressed as a woman and walked around with a stupid grin and a hard-on. Several people complained and I haven’t seen him since


I moved.

Does the Wookie has her or his own...

When the urge surfaces, Wookies just lift their tails. Due to the high status of this Wookie, attendants remove the royal debris.

Ok, here’s my question, How would a blind person know where the sign is to read the Braille on the bottom?

This is a single-toilet restroom that they started calling “gender neutral” to score some PC points. What a joke.

Based on this criteria, my home has three "gender neutral" restrooms. Shouldn't I be getting some kind of subsidy or tax credits?
