It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am.
If you're making it gender non-specific, why does that involving disabling the urinals? Clearly it's to make a statement, but can't people use whichever they prefer.

I piss on the sign while standing up, then add another sign that penes are gender non-specific too.

Probably more annoyed since half the time the shared bathroom stalls on campus were disgusting and as a previous poster mentioned everyone can pee standing up with the proper tools.

If the bathroom is supposed to gender neutral why make it less convient for men to use it? After all neutral does not mean female-only.
I would have peed on the plastic covering if i was there alone.

Serious guess? Someone was concerned that a woman might walk in on a guy using a urinal and see something they shouldn't.

What about the victims of the person who takes the middle urinal with 3 urinals? Or the poor sods who get stuck next to a guy who tries to talk to them while they pee?

Won't someone think of the suffering from the bathroom etiquette oppressors?

I would want more information - has it been made unisex because the women's bathroom on that floor is unavailable for the day due to maintenance? If so, OK, whatever, these things happen. If it's some dumb gender issues awareness stunt, I would be quietly annoyed for a bit and lower my opinion of the idiot responsible.

through thousands of posts in D&D over a decade, I now believe I know what I'm talking about. if I post forcefully and confidently, I can convince others that is true. no one sees through my facade.

Agreed. Personally I'm completely in favor of making gender-neutral bathrooms the norm (particularly when it comes to single user bathrooms), but this kind of militant advocacy doesn't make any sense. It raises the topic, sure, but it just alienates anyone that might support you. Walking into women's restrooms and removing all the mirrors doesn't strike a blow for gender equality - it just pisses people off.

gender neutral bathrooms should have a urinal anyway cause you don't want ppl with male genitals urinating on the thing other people sit on

SET PHASERS TO "GRINDING TEDIUM"
Is it so unreasonable for toilets to be sex-specific (not gender-specific, because gender is stupid), though? I mean, the only argument against desegregated toilets that isn't bigoted or stupid comes from women who don't want to pee in the same room as men. It just so happens to be a pretty good argument. Is it actually that big a problem for women not to want a man and his penis in the bathroom stall next to them, given how many loving horrific things happen in bathrooms to women at the hands of men anyway? What is it with this small minority of (almost exclusively) young transwomen and overzealous allies who make this their pet issue and will make absolutely no concessions to the large number of women who would really rather not pee while sitting three feet away from a dude for quite obvious reasons?

Shall we be trotting home again?
If I walked into a bathroom and saw that, I would rip it all down, pee in the urinal, and flush it.

Your right to express your disdain for contemporary norms around bathrooms, does not trump my right to pee without sitting down if I so choose.

It would be funny to see an angry anti-SJW tear off the cover and piss in the urinal only to discover they were unavailable due to a technical fault and their piss backs up and overflows onto their shoes haha

If the urinals were broken, the sign would probably say that rather than waffling on about the bathroom being "gender non-specific" (seriously, why not use the much less clunky "unisex" ?)

And just why, exactly, aren't the signs language non-specific too? Seems oddly regionalist of them to leave out the esperanto. We deserve to not be discriminated against too, drat it! :argh:

I wouldn't be offended, but I do think it's dumb. And I might tear off the plastic and piss there anyhow if the stalls were occupied. All they've managed to do there is reduce the capacity of that particular restroom. You want to make it all non-binary, just rip the signs off and tell everyone to piss in whichever they want.
