Denton (WBAP News) - The University of North Texas has announced that it will soon be offering something unique to students, faculty and visitors, unisex bathrooms.

The restrooms will be placed in the lobbies of nearly all of its dormitories, as well as in the dining rooms.

The facilities will be very similar to the so-called family bathrooms currently being used in Metroplex movie theaters and shopping malls.

The president of the Residence Hall Association says the private, single-stall unisex restrooms are designed to help transgender students feel more at ease on the Denton campus. He believes the move will help improve the sense of community at the school.

They only have one stall, so sounds okay to me, though not the reason.

Hey, I’m all about the one-holers...although catering to the trannies is an odd rationale.

I feel sorry for the young women.

Being a man with two sons, I can admit that I understand why women do not want to follow us after using the facilities.

Also, remember to wipe the seat!

So, having a single room, with a single toilet and sink, that is available to the general public is now news worthy? The lobbies of a great many law offices, major corporations and small bussinesses alike are decades ahead of the University of North Texas.

This is hardly new; and claiming it is for ‘transgendered’ freaks is simply a ploy to advertize your new potty. What’s next, cafeterias providing both left handed, and right handed coffee mugs?

This will have predictable consequences — all restrooms will become men’s rooms (what woman in her right mind would want to use them).

A sense of community?? What sophistry.

I would like to know how many transgender students there are as opposed to everyone else at that university. My guess is that it is miniscule.

A couple of years ago, my wife and I were in Washington State on a trip and stopped in a small gas station for a break. I was in the rest room using a urinal when the door flew open and a very attractive young “lady” ran in and proceeded to take a dump without a so much as “excuse me”! I noticed the California plates when they drove off.

My guess is that this will quickly return to a practical if unofficial gender-specific situation the first time a guy pees on the seat.

That said, is there any way to get Islamic foot-washing facilities installed?

they’ve come a long way from the days when that big Samoan guy would guard the door so Kathy Ireland could take a shower

If these are larger single toilet family bathrooms, this is a good thing. Family bathrooms in malls and movie theaters are a lot better for us wheelchair users than the handicap stall in the other bathroom.

Based on observations and experience I will guess that these will be used by mostly or all women. We can use the bushes guys.
