Genderless bathrooms
Sometime in the last ten years or so, it seems, the National Bathroom Association met and decided to spring the idea of genderless bathrooms on the public. Up to that point, there were always men’s bathrooms, and women’s bathrooms. If your version was occupied, you had to wait. Now you don’t. Amazing! As a kid, the idea of my using the girl’s bathroom was reprehensible. One of my friends told me with a quiver in his voice, “I went in there – and no one caught me!” Why all the decades of fuss? After all, the hardware in both is essentially the same. Must be the same folks that demanded bathrooms and water fountains had to be either for black folks, or for white ones. Pretty stupid, huh?
