You're fourteen, at school and you need to go for a pee. You leave your science lesson and rush to the toilet. Then you stop. You're confused. In front of you are three separate toilets. One with a symbol for boys, another for girls, and there's another with a symbol you've never seen before. It's half blue and half pink Oh yes of course, it's the transgender toilet. A toilet for those boys who feel like girls.

I don't like that ending, it's... offensive. but I DO think that it's GENIUS for them to do that.
So... perfect. I wish every school in every country had a bathroom like that. A gender neutral bathroom.
I think EVERY WHERE should have one, at least.

Yeah like they have to have Disabled toliets everywhere. Or instead of Man & Female toliets Unisex!

Unisex toilets would just be awesome everywhere, they would save a lot of time and BS on our part, and less lines.

I'll use a gender neutral bathroom no problem. A trans bathroom? Hell no. I refuse to out myself every time I need to take a piss.

Yeah, Ally McBeal Bathroom please!
I use the mens room.. I just get In, Done, Out (always been that way anyway) but i find that if i'm "in a hurry" people seem to leave me alone

I would love gender neutral bathrooms. They would give us in-betweens a place to pee. But I would not be thrilled with trans bathrooms, although I guess they're okay for kids at school.
I'm not using the men's room again until I've lost more weight. And maybe have a deeper voice in case someone challenges me. (I imagine that the proper response to such a challenge is probably "F*** off!!!")
