No
more Gent's and Ladies' Rooms!! At least that's what the University of
Manchester in England decided to do. What have been traditionally called
Gent's-Ladies, Men-Women, Bogs-Girls are all out, replaced by Toilet
and Toilet with urinal. That's what the Daily Mail announced.
Many would ask why the change of the denomination, when in fact the toilets for either sex remain exactly the same anyway? Those toilets of the past marked on the door with Ladies, Women or just picture of a girl are now really the same as before; in fact so are the ones marked with Gents, Men or picture of a male.
Aah, but those 'in between', the transvestites who just enjoy 'looking' like the opposite sex without being one, and the transsexuals who feel in their heart they are the opposite sex but nature had given them the wrong body, had been complaining that they felt uncomfortable, or confused, that they didn't know where to 'go'!
Sounds a bit confusing, but I don't know how to make it clearer! What this all means is that those women with male genitals (read about transvestite) shouldn't feel awkward going to the toilet with urinals, while the transsexuals too can now go where it suits their needs.
In the same sense, those of us who are clear-cut male or female, would just have to learn to be tolerant seeing, for instance, a 'man' walking in - 'he' is in fact a woman but in man's clothing. While the men in the toilet shouldn't be surprised either seeing a lady next to them, lifting up her skirt to pee standing.
The supervisor in charge of the feminine section on the university says that the traditional old way of denomination is sexist, that if a person is born a woman but feels in every way a man, then she has the right to go to the men's room, not necessary having to wait until the sex change is surgically completed.
I can't help wondering, whether this supervisor is man or woman or 'not sure'? Or 'not yet decided'? Or 'not quite completed'? 'Under construction'?
