Oh, My!

The previous post has generated a great deal of interest. Just so you know, two comments were so nasty that they have been deleted. I really didn't care what parts Sarina and Buck were born with. The larger point I wanted to make was, who really cares? Who is really that interested in the parts of the person in the next stall? Since transgender folks must live as the other sex during their transition, that includes using public restrooms. Guess what? They're already there! And you couldn't tell!  Because you weren't ogled or assaulted! Because transgender does not equal pervert! Listen to Charlie Comero, a transgender man living in Charlotte, North Carolina speaking on the reality of living in the shadow of HB2.

I have visited establishments that have only unisex restrooms available. It seemed that they were able to be used in harmony free of discrimination and gender labels. In a sense, a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy; here is where you use the restroom. Come one, come all! There are some businesses and practices that seek to unify instead of divide.
Excuse me, I am now going to go design a unisex restroom model complete with re-engineered unisex toilet so that females and males everywhere can use the same toilet without the worry of seat residue or gender. Innovate don't hate! :)
