It was Cal Poly San Luis Obispo last week, and this week it’s George Washington University staging its own “shit-in,” with the aim of ensuring that everyone feels “safe” in a campus bathroom by giving them more gender-neutral options.
“Everyone” primarily meaning trans or genderqueer students.
The GW Hatchet reports:
For GW’s Gender Inclusive Bathroom Week, which starts Monday, “Toilet Trainers” will be stationed across campus to spread awareness of issues like gender inclusion. Several student organizations on campus – including the Student Association, the Association of Queer Women and Allies and Allied in Pride – helped organize the program.
The week will include events like a “Square 80 ‘Shit In,’” where students can join Bathroom Week representatives to ask questions and address concerns about gender inclusivity on campus.
The District of Columbia has already decided to recognize the right to pee in solitude as a “human right”:
Facilities Services began working with the D.C. Office of Human Rights in early February, and will label an additional 82 single-occupancy bathrooms on campus as simply “restroom,” rather than “men” or “women” starting with the Marvin Center on Monday. The move follows a citywide Safe Bathrooms campaign to make more public bathrooms universally accessible.
