I want to learn more about the concept of an acceptable level of blackness. Heard it mentioned in passing on my local NPR affiliate while they were talking about Larry Wilmore. Think you could recommend an article or two?

Congratulations on getting rid of your Rob Ford, London.

It's good for support for trans rights to be mainstream and for transgender people to be able to see that reflected in media that has otherwise generally marginalized them. This should not be a hard idea to grasp.

I dunno. Like if you had a tap in a video game labelled BLACKS AND WHITES BOTH ALLOWED as opposed to just WATER you would say gently caress this noise. Why not just put a picture of a toilet bowl or something on it. Seems pretty pandery to me?



Isn't the way to equality to just...treat everyone the same? Or do you have to trumpet how totes progressive and accepting you are in everything you do all the time?

TBH it seems like so many social injustices could be solved by people not giving a poo poo as much about trivial bullshit. When we're all spiralling toward a dystopian future where corporations own our organs and poo poo it hardly seems to matter what kind of dangly bits you have. Most 'social justice' causes, whilst totally valid, also seem like they're jumped on by big companies and their friends to smokescreen the enormous and constant exploitation of the environment and poor nations to the detriment of our entire species.

"Tiny Trains"

In most of the civilized world regardless of language a simple "WC" sign is pretty universal. I haven't noticed them used in north america, but I've noticed in the last 5 years or so architects have switched to labeling bathrooms "WC" fairly universally. I don't know if they're trying to be cool and european, or just like the fact that it's a nice short label you can put on a room. But previous to that I'd often see "WR" for washroom.


Also I wish female gender had a 3 letter word for it. Quite often on my signs/maps it's very easy to fit "Men's Room" or "Men's WC" in two lines, but "Women's WC" is much longer and often doesn't fit on the plan. So I either have to make the text smaller or just have the letters overlap onto the toilets or sinks or what ever's on the plan. It looks bad. This is why women's washroom's should generally be bigger, so the text fits better on building plans and wayfinding maps.

If I were an unflinching all-powerful dictator unmoved by the plight of the masses and heedless of anyone's advice but my own brutal ways, I would have unisex toilets marked, I dunno, loving T the way parking is marked as P. Or have a picture of a toilet - cause that's what's in that room, the way lightning means electricity or what have you. Handicapped toilets are already unisex so it's effectively a matter of space and funding to do the same for every bathroom. Generous stalls for everyone with mirrors/sink within for malls etc. Local law enforcement and public service directed at maintaining a high standard (I control the economy and public spending btw thanks) of facility the way it usually is with retail operations.

There will be minor social upheaval and general sweaty nervous discomfort for millions of people for a few years until everyone gets over it.

Sounds like you're just running away from another problem imo


Oddly one place where this rule does get broken is at sporting events where thousands of guys need to piss at the same time (i.e. half time during soccer, whatever silly breaks American sports have).

Serious question: would gender neutral bathrooms eliminate urinals?

Gender neutral bathrooms would be a gigantic hole that everyone shits and pisses into, and falls into every once in a while.

Alternatively we should go with full public gender neutral toilets.

It's a sponge on a stick. You'd put it in the bucket of vinegar and wipe your rear end with it.

Sponge onna stick. Bit dubious how accessible these would be in northern England imo (compared to say, moss) but they're the classical Roman bumwipe.

Edit: Probably not with vinegar though, eurgh.

Ironically those toilets now look like a 'gigantic hole that everyone shits and pisses into, and falls into every once in a while'.



Also no, it's no coincidence that the space under the toilets is big enough for a person to get into. 'Ad stercus' appears in duty rosters for Roman soldiers, and literally means 'to the poo poo'. Time to get the broom out!
