Unisex Bathrooms
Ok… this post isn’t spam beacuse it’s title has the word sex in it. (might attract a lot of spam. tho’…) The fact is gender is a very important part of our lives. It’s who we are, literally. Gender is Political. How we function and live is very important. Dis-Ability is Political.
So this morning I saw this sign. It is a xeroxed peice of paper COVERING a permanent women’s bathroom sign in a university building. It reads; “UNISEX” “It Does not matter if you have a vagina, penis, or other, ALL bathrooms should be accessible to ALL people.”, and “Should be Accessible to Differently-Abled People”
Interesting awareness campaign. I’d call this protest art. (Sidenote: I took these pics with my Treo 650 camera, then uploaded them to Flickr. Capturing stuff like this is what makes a mobile camera with a network connection awesome!)

Well that’s the first time I’ve ever seen a stick figure in that position. Also, the disabled figure is drawn like a word in Arabic.
This is interesting, but I’m not clear on what injustice it is addressing.

When there’s a long line in front of the Ladies’ and no waiting for the Mens’ I *totally* understand what injustice this is addressing.

If it’s Dey Hall, I assume it’s addressing the injustice of there being only one bathroom on each floor, which each currently assigned to one sex or the other.

That’s the power of keywords and ibiblio’s high trust rating with Google. Fortunatly some other more powerful keywords put audioactivism high in the rankings. Such as “racism walmart”, “O’Reilly Rant” “San Francisco”, audio socialism, video games peace, etc. etc.
