Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My students were just talking about gender neutral bathrooms. I guess USC is putting some in one of the dorms. Which made me realize that every place I lived in college had gender neutral bathrooms, but then again, I went to Berkeley, not USC.

I might need that Coach Taylor poster.

I need Life Coach Taylor. Possibly Eric and Tami taking turns motivating/inspiring/cluesticking me.

I had coed bathrooms in college.

That Tumblr is kind of awesome. Did you guys hear that Jason Katims is writing a script for an FNL movie? So excited.

Oh, hey, maybe women will have actual speaking roles in his version. That'd be cool.

I went to a women's college and my dorm had coed bathrooms (it was technically a coed dorm with cross-campus students from Haverford; in practice there were like 6 men in the whole place.)

The University where I most recently worked just sent out a memo identifying unisex bathrooms in the libraries. The building I was in has had one for as long as it's had a handicapped-accessible one - the original restrooms are too narrow for wheelchair access, so when they built an accessible bathroom it was stand-alone, and unisex because they only built the one.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have never. Seriously, never, seen unisex bathrooms as a common thing. I'm in the midwest so I don't know WTH I would encounter a unisex bathroom. Nowhere I have gone in years has been unisex.

I lived in college in a coed res hall (once in my 4 years), I preferred all women floors, but women can be REALLY nasty when they want to be.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

My office on each floor has the standard bank of men's and women's with stalls, including handicapped, and a single standalone that is unisex and also handicap accesible. So that's good at least.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Our YMCA has a family/coed changing room and bathroom. I suspect it was initially for parents who were taking their opposite gendered children into dressing rooms with them long past the age where others were comfortable with it. Still, it's there for transgendered people, too.
