Gender-neutral bathrooms for the win

American University is creating some gender-neutral bathrooms on its campus, much to my COMPLETE SHOCK AND SURPRISE.

Some students who seek gender-neutral bathrooms -- typically single bathrooms that lock rather than multistall facilities -- are transgendered men or women and could face questions or harassment from others in the bathroom who believe they don't belong there, said Brittney Hoffman, campus director for the Gender Public Advocacy Coalition's GenderYOUTH program. There are also students who, because of the way they look or dress, may get hostile comments in the women's or men's bathrooms and choose to avoid them.


The Chicago Tribune has the rest here, although you might have to register to read it. If you do, you should head to Bugmenot, and screw them hard. Fuck that registering to read news shit.
