In a pioneering move, the Cooper Union administration is taking steps to remove the designations across campus, following student action last year.
Last fall, the oldest building here on the Cooper Union campus underwent a sudden renovation. A group of students, agitating for their transgender classmates, stripped the words “men” and “women” off the doors of the Foundation Building’s restrooms.
The act expressed years of pent-up frustration that here in lower Manhattan, at one of the most liberal colleges in the country, students who failed to conform to gender norms nevertheless risked harassment whenever they went to the bathroom.
But then, the unexpected happened. The signs were never replaced. And in an apparent first for a US college, the Cooper Union administration this month moved to remove the gender designations from all the bathrooms on campus by taking down the rest of the men’s and women’s signage from bathrooms.
To the students involved, it was victory.
“A public facility shouldn’t have to ask if you’re a man or a woman,” said Rio Sofia, one of the students who put pressure on the administration. “It should just ask, do you need to pee or poop?”
North Carolina blocks local laws on transgender use of bathrooms Read more In less scatalogical terms, the interim president of Cooper Union recently made clear that he agrees. “From a practical standpoint, very little will actually change in our day-to-day use of restrooms,” the president, Bill Mea, wrote in an 18 March email to the campus announcing the change. “But it reflects where I believe Cooper Union needs to stand.
“I cannot change the outside world and how it treats transgender and gender non-conforming people,” he continued. “But I can change the Cooper Union environment to help everyone feel safe when they are inside our buildings.”

The Muzzies will win. The lgbt doofuses just cry and stage sit ins. Meanwhile part of the Peace promised by the Muzzies involves killing everyone that disagrees with them while the world pretends it’s not really them doing the killing.
“Saint”??
Supposed to be “Wait,” of course.
I thought you were breaking into prayer there for minute...
The Lawyers will love this.
Sue for having signs.
Sue for not having signs
Sue for gender being in wrong bathroom
Sue for gender not being in wrong bathroom
Sue for being raped in wrong bathroom

In some alternative universe, this is all wrong.
If a man (even if he is pretending to be a woman) “exposes” himself to a child and a parent files a complaint, he can be labeled as a sex offender.
It’s not a pioneering move. It’s a stupid move.
This is not about equality. It’s all about forcing students to give up the value systems that they acquired from their parents and to adopt the new, marxist worldview.

They really know how to whine and wail and publicly make a huge, huge weeping wailing FUSS.
Are they really going to just sit down and shut up when the hooded ones tell them to GTFO of the female bathrooms?
I think there is going to be a bigger clash then you give them credit for.
Just say no to urinals guys they are sexist.
Organized perversion
I pass over every NE university graduate.
No, they have fine arts majors too who sit around and stare and talk about stupid paintings all day.
Lots of morons there, believe me.
Only recent ones, I hope. I’m a SUNY Brockport guy, and I turned out okay, but I graduated in the 1980’s.
"Who, in their right mind, Kevin, could possibly deny the 20th century was entirely mine? All of it, Kevin! All of it. Mine. I'm peaking, Kevin. It's my time now. It's our time."
1979, East Carolina University. I was taking an art class so I spent a little time running around the art building. A typical core layout, the restrooms were to either side of the elevators which is somewhat normal, however, depending on the floor, the restrooms flipped sides. On the first floor, the Men’s Room to the left, Women’s to the right as you emerged from the elevator, Second Floor, vice-versa. And the third floor set up same as the first floor.
Long story, short. I was in a hurry one day and had to go really bad and didn’t think about what floor I was on. Busted in the door, no urinals? Odd... but didn’t matter, I hit the first stall, locked the door, dropped trough and eased back in blessed relief.
Just then, someone else walks in and past my stall and I look and see really tiny shoes. The old chukka style boots but a little too cute and small to belong on a college guy’s feet... Hmm... then I started thinking about the urinals... wait a minute.... Holy crap! I’m in the Women’s restroom and there’s a girl in the stall next to me with cute little chukka boots, pinching a loaf!
Well, I had to sit back and laugh to myself. But now, timing was crucial. I had to get out. I got myself all set to go and when at the next grunt from next door, I pulled open my stall door and headed for the exit only briefly glancing to confirm my suspicions that there were, in fact, no urinals but there was some funny box on the wall... huh?... Nevemind, I gotta scoot!
I exited the bathroom and turned to see another young lady pause to check the sign on the door as she headed in. I gave her a sheepish smile but I didn’t break stride as I headed for the stairway. Wasn’t going to wait for an elevator, I was gone.
The next class, I recounted my goof up and everybody got a little enjoyment out of it. Apparently I was not the only one to make that error. Checked the feet of all the girls in my class as well but alas, no cute little chukka boots...
Liberals are such freaks!
