Someone is starting some campaign at Brown which seems to take offense at bathrooms being labeled as Men or Women, unless I am interpreting this wrong

A person of apparently unidentifiable gender can be harrassed no matter which bathroom the choose- making all bathrooms unisex ensures that they won't be questioned, hassled or wrongfully forced to leave. However, I think teaching each other to be tolerant of transgendered people is way more productive than converting bathrooms to unisex. Also, more unisex bathrooms at a college would probably lead to more sexual harrassment.
I don't mean to be mean, but your assumption is dumb. Good day, sir.
Just put in some more unisex rooms and don't convert them over. Then if there are transgendered persons, they can use the unisex bathrooms and persons who would want to use mens nnd womens rooms seperately can use those too.
That didn't really make much sense but screw it, I'm going to play Ragnarok.
Yeah people throw this tirade every year. I want the bathrooms to be unisex blah blah blah. The only places they truly are separated are the really public facilities like in Salomon or in Freshman dorms. All of the upper class dorms have unisex bathrooms and people can decide if they want them to be coed or not. I think that this is a good system. Plus I don't really think the boys or girls care if transgendered people use my bathroom and I don't think most people here care either. THey have the two sex bathrooms for a reason in the public places, so that old people don't get freaked out by social change and so freshmen can live in their comfort bubble for one more year. That and its a safe haven if someone's going to be raped. Yeah, good to have bathrooms men (or women) can't get into, due to that whole key system in the first year dorms. So I'd say this girl's campaigning against nothing.

Personally, I think no one should use public bathrooms. So they can get rid of the "Men" and "Women" signs if they want, and then just board them up.
Nnno, that'd cause problems, too. Never mind. Maybe people should just relax.
