University of Vermont to add Trans-Gender Restrooms on Campus
If you are a man, you use the men’s room. If you are a woman, you use the woman’s room. Simple, isn’t it? It doesn’t seem that complicated to me either. But some people don’t know what they are, or at least that is what I am told. It doesn’t seem that hard to figure out what equipment you have to me, but what do I know? Now the University of Vermont has decided if you don’t know what you are they will create a special bathroom for you.
It also has gender-neutral bathrooms, a feature added to accommodate transgendered people, as well as those with some disabilities. The four single bathrooms in the new Dudley H. Davis Center — each with a toilet, sink, shower, and lockable door — cost about $2,500 a piece to build. Their wall signs identify each as “gender neutral restroom.”
“It’s about inclusivity and accessibility and the importance of meeting all people’s needs, not just a few,” said Annie Stevens, assistant vice president for student and campus life.
“A multiuse bathroom doesn’t necessarily feel safe to transgendered students, because they have concerns about how their gender would be read by others,” said Dot Brauer, director of the school’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, and Ally Services.
A woman who identifies as a man, for example, may not feel welcome in a women’s restroom. Transgendered people have been the target of verbal and physical abuse in restrooms and been arrested, or suspected of lewd conduct, according to Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality.
The National Center for Transgender Equality? Now I have heard it all. Once again we have the all-inclusive left separating people into different groups. Why is it that all of these groups need to be separated? How are we all supposed to be equal when the left keeps fracturing us by hyphenating us into different categories? We will never be equal until we are all non-hyphenated Americans. Yet the left tries to equalize us by seperating us, does that make sense? Wasn’t it the left that originally said seperate but equal was not equal? I think it was, yet they are the ones who see everyone as some sort of group before they see people as individuals.

i think it’s good that someone is actually rrecognized the fact that transgender people have rights and shouldn’t have to be abused for using public restrooms.

Uhm… I don’t see how transgendered bathrooms are exactly comparable to “separate but equal”. Separate but equal implies some sort of a lack of choice. In this case, people have a choice about which bathroom they feel most comfortable using.
Also, gender is a societal term. Sure, sex is a reference to your specific biology, be it anatomical or genetic. But gender is simply a term, or rather concept, used to box people into roles in society. It’s first uses were to separate work between parties that were most able to do them. Men were tasked with hunting and gathering, while females were tasked with care and nurture. In this day and age, our economies have became so diverse that a division in gender is absolutely archaic. Gender is simply a tool of discrimination, prejudice and bullying.
And might I add, recognizing the fact that people choose to identify in different ways, instead of placing frivolous and political morals above the common courtesy of social acceptance, is in reality, placing the individual above the group.
But it’s obvious you live under a rock. So I totally understand why you don’t even understand modern era principles such as transgenderism.
