Mizzou Renames ‘Unisex’ Restrooms Because Term Isn’t Inclusive Enough

The term TOILET offends me.

What about the poop-challenged? Isn’t that a presumptive and degrading concept, the toilet? I want the rooms to be named the Bfgauenbt Ahduit SWBuutkjrfkj.

Hey, Mizzou, remind us again how many students and their parents’ wallets you’ve lost since last year.

I guess “Potty” would work.

“Unisex” was the inclusive term of fifty years ago. Here’s one possible origin:

Thanks so much.

I guess I wasn’t paying attention——I spent the sixties in the kitchen.

The word, Waldman said, excludes people who identify as neither male nor female.

Oh, so they identify as nobody.
