Susannah Kroeber '11: The fallacy of gendered bathrooms

The Brown Daily Herald
11/20/2008

Since I arrived at Brown, there has been a significant amount of discussion and debate over the need for gender-neutral housing and bathrooms. The University deserves credit for promoting gender-neutral housing, especially compared to its peer institutions.

The gender-neutral bathroom question is perhaps less clear-cut, and I submit this is because people disagree about the purpose of a gender-neutral bathroom. While some believe that gender-neutral bathrooms are open to anyone (similar in concept to the bizarrely named "unisex bathrooms" in workplaces), others think that gender-neutral bathrooms are only for those who identify as transgender.
