Denton (WBAP News) - The University of North Texas has announced that it will soon be offering something unique to students, faculty and visitors, unisex bathrooms.
The restrooms will be placed in the lobbies of nearly all of its dormitories, as well as in the dining rooms.
The facilities will be very similar to the so-called family bathrooms currently being used in Metroplex movie theaters and shopping malls.
The president of the Residence Hall Association says the private, single-stall unisex restrooms are designed to help transgender students feel more at ease on the Denton campus. He believes the move will help improve the sense of community at the school.

Didn’t see this posted yet.
They cannot stop appeasing...
They only have one stall, so sounds okay to me, though not the reason.
As a UNT grad, I am sad.
Hey, I’m all about the one-holers...although catering to the trannies is an odd rationale.
Great. Now guys get to stand in line along with wimmin waiting for the chick to get out of the derned stall.
I feel sorry for the young women.
Being a man with two sons, I can admit that I understand why women do not want to follow us after using the facilities.
Also, remember to wipe the seat!
...and by one-holers I mean bathrooms with only one toilet...guess I should clarify that, haha...
I have no problem with places wanting to put in unisex bathrooms as a matter of convenience and way to attract customers. What I Loathe and Hate is when some group or lawyer or person coerces and demands that an existing facility be modified to add them.
It is the whole “Government Intrusion angle” that I am against, not the bathrooms themselves.
So, having a single room, with a single toilet and sink, that is available to the general public is now news worthy? The lobbies of a great many law offices, major corporations and small bussinesses alike are decades ahead of the University of North Texas.
This is hardly new; and claiming it is for ‘transgendered’ freaks is simply a ploy to advertize your new potty. What’s next, cafeterias providing both left handed, and right handed coffee mugs?
“improve the sense of community”
by slapping around the sensibilites of the majority
Craptacular!
“that giant flushing sound you hear........”
College kids, booze and unisex bathrooms... sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Will the feminists now want men penalized for aiming poorly ?
This will have predictable consequences — all restrooms will become men’s rooms (what woman in her right mind would want to use them).
Now that's something I would never say here....or aloud anywhere.
: )
Haha...PLEASE see my clarification a couple posts down; it took me one second too long to realize how people might read that...
A sense of community?? What sophistry.
I would like to know how many transgender students there are as opposed to everyone else at that university. My guess is that it is miniscule.
A couple of years ago, my wife and I were in Washington State on a trip and stopped in a small gas station for a break. I was in the rest room using a urinal when the door flew open and a very attractive young “lady” ran in and proceeded to take a dump without a so much as “excuse me”! I noticed the California plates when they drove off.
They’ll install toilets with seats that don’t go up. That will teach us to sit.
My first experience with a unisex toilet was in France in 1965 as a 17 year old kid in the Navy. I was very embarrassed to walk in on a red haired (yes it was natural) lady using a European style commode (two foot pads and a hole in the floor). This one wasn't a one holer.
The natives had a big laugh at my expense.
That said, is there any way to get Islamic foot-washing facilities installed?
There has to be a way to tie this extra standing in line with global warming so we can kill this off fast.
The women will be happy with the guys peeing all over the seats, I imagine.
Hey, a muslim could be washing his feet in the sink while a woman was using the toilet. It's more efficient.
they’ve come a long way from the days when that big Samoan guy would guard the door so Kathy Ireland could take a shower
So true.
You are washed and cleaned..........
: )
That's going too far, too fast!! I think they should start out slow with left- and right-handed pencils and paper. People need time to get used to all these changes.
Add to that, the fact that most women I know (especially when I was in college) are completely neurotic when it comes to ‘#2’ (and others knowing about it) and if they’re sharing w/men that could be bad...
Maybe she had IBS and had moved far beyond the point of really caring anymore!
If these are larger single toilet family bathrooms, this is a good thing. Family bathrooms in malls and movie theaters are a lot better for us wheelchair users than the handicap stall in the other bathroom.
That will them to stand (or hover). Think about it.
Of course, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth, but that's the way I see it.
I prefer using the family restrooms at the airport! Shhhhhh! Don’t tell anyone else.
One of the funniest moments of my life was at a Rod Stewart concert in Chattanooga. There was a 100 woman line at the ladies restroom. I had to go REALLY bad... waiting was not an option. I asked one of my male friends to check the Mens room. He said it was clear. I hightailed it in, went potty and flushed. When I walked out of the stall - MY BOSS was using the urinal. LOL. I just went right by him and said “Good Concert!”
I don’t think the Muslims will like this!
Based on observations and experience I will guess that these will be used by mostly or all women. We can use the bushes guys.
I have cleared a male restroom more than once for mrs. jimfree or another lady.
I feel like throwing up.
Hey, we had co-ed bathrooms at Radcliffe in 1972.
Yup. I was in a graduatge program there that year, and was astonished when I learned this news.
Then there’s this: The proctor told us at a dorm meeting that if you were outside smoking dope(on the front steps), and you saw a Harvard cop car go by - no problem. But if you saw a Cambridge cop car ease by, “bogart” the joint and try to look normal. Hah!
I won't sit, if you get my meaning...
They are not realy “unisex”. They are single-user.
Thanks for clarifying. This tranny stuff is very foreign to me.
Tranny is the new gay.
Saw a gas station toilet with this sign on the door:
“We aim to please.
“You aim too, please.
;^)
There were no urinals and every stall was in fact a “floor-to-ceiling” stall with a full, and lockable, door.
All business, other than washing hands and primping in front of the mirror takes place in the stall.
It was really nothing to get excited about.
The main, occasional inconvenience was a maintenance issue, arising when the supply of tissue ran out in a stall. The occupant cannot call out to an adjoining stall on either side, to kindly pass them some tissue, because there was no access of any kind between stalls. Fortunately I never had that circumstance, and its embarrassing dilemma, happen to me.
The biggest complaint came from the women, because of how often some men would use the toilet like a urinal and do so without either raising the toilet seat or wiping the seat dry when they finished.
Although such places do not have to be a big problem, it depends on the character of the individuals involved.
Because of that fact, my knowledge and experience with college kids of today makes me think that, generally, colleges would be one of the least-likely places for them to work without many problems.
Maybe she was just from California!
Oh no, isn’t there a movement by the feminazis to require men to sit while urinating?
Tail wags dog.
Years ago there was a satire piece about NOW pressuring the Senate to make it illegal for men to urinate in the usual way.
“Number One is all right, but don’t stand for it”, said the feminists opposing one of the last remaining differences which make men dominant over women.
The bill’s cosponsors were George McGovern and Ted Kennedy, who indicated their support by introducing the bill while sitting down.
How times have changed. Now devices are available to allow women to urinate while standing up. The appalling conditions in public restrooms must be the reason.
