The fact that we have to educate college students to use the mens bathroom if you have male parts and the womens bathroom if you have female parts makes me weep for the future of this country.
To: MikalM
more diversity and fluidity within the sex-gender continuum Sex-gender CONTINUUM??? You mean there's an infinite number of combinations between male and female? You're either a MAN, a WOMAN, or an IT.

This moment involves an act of self-labeling I never realized that deciding which restroom to use required such profound though. So the women's room image has a dress on it? Who cares? When you gotta go, ya gotta go, and I'm not going to spend any time agonizing over "self-labeling".

She pointed out that many womens restrooms have a caricature of a person in a dress on it. Going into it implies that we are willing to be associated with that image. There are only two [images] to choose from. This moment involves an act of self-labeling.The horror. The absolute horror.
To: MikalM
Does this mean that if I wear a dress I can go into the women's bathroom?
What if a woman is wearing slacks or jeans?
Maybe they should try to fit into NORMAL society instead of trying to fit society into them.

Unbelievable idiocy.

Going to the bathroom is a moment where definition is very important in choosing a door, said Mary Anne Case, one of the panelists..."
There's only one gender-neutral door the trans-genders need- the EXIT.

I suggest these people organize a panel in some third world country. They can explain to the third worlders that life in America is very difficult because we have male and female bathrooms. The reaction should be interesting.

How about 'nutbar'?

Like, amputees have to choose between caricatures of people with all four limbs intact. That is, like, so unfair, you know?

But for some, a trip to the restroom is less simple, with gay, lesbian, and transgendered students worried about the implications of which bathrooms they enter.Hmm, in the "good old days", people didn't seem to have a problem deciding on which bathroom to use.

There's an old New York Irish saying that is appropriate here.
To the confused:
Go sh%t in your hat.

So long as there not entering mine I don't give a damn.
To: MikalM
Nate Claxton, another panelist, knew people who had contracted bladder infections because choosing a gender bathroom bothered them so much that they did not go to the bathroom all day.He KNOWS people (PLURAL) who have contracted bladder infections because they can't choose a "gender" bathroom? What kind of pathetic people are these?!! I don't know a single person who has that kind of a problem and I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. But then, I don't usually hang out with the transgender crowd...

Reaction around campus to the idea of gender-neutral bathroom was mixed. Roger Simon, a second-year in the College, agreed with the idea. I believe that if all parts of the body were treated equally, and there was not so much emphasis on genitalia, than people could move beyond gender differences and grow mentally and socially, he said."Plus I could grab some tail anytime I go to the bathroom," Roger added.
