University of Toronto alters bathroom policy after two reports of voyeurism

The University of Toronto has decreased the number of gender-neutral bathrooms in one of its colleges after two women became victims of voyeurism when they were filmed while showering.

Toronto Police Const. Victor Kwong said Monday that two women in separate instances at the Whitney Hall residence reported that they saw a cellphone reach over the shower-stall dividers in an attempt to record them. Police have yet to find any information about the culprit, but the investigation is ongoing.

At least one gender-neutral washroom remains on each floor.

Melinda Scott, the dean of students at University College, said some bathrooms in Whitney Hall have now been designated specifically for residents who identify as men or women. However, several gender-neutral bathrooms remain.

“The purpose of this temporary measure is to provide a safe space for the women who have been directly impacted by the incidents of voyeurism and other students who may feel more comfortable in a single-gender washroom,” said Scott.

According to the Varsity campus newspaper, the two cellphone incidents occurred Sept. 15 and Sept. 19.

Scott says the college will be revaluating the designation of the bathrooms in the coming weeks. “The UC Residences continue to work in close collaboration with the Community Safety Office and Campus Police to ensure that the residences are a safe space for our students.”

Watching someone pee has never been an interest of mine.

Uhm, why is everyone jumping to the conclusion that the voyeur was a man, and the victim was a woman?

These days, there are sick little dykes, and curious little he/shes looking for some makeup and waxing tips...

Unintended consequences strikes again.

The twit RA at my daughter’s college dorm happily declared to us on move-in day: “and we’ll have a vote to see if we’ll change the bathrooms to co-ed!”

I wanted to punch her in the gob.

The solution is bathrooms that isolate each individual, or single-person bathrooms.
Never happen. The purpose of these multi-sex bathrooms is to teach us the leftist lesson, that “gender is a continuum, not a binary.”

“Uhm, why is everyone jumping to the conclusion that the voyeur was a man, and the victim was a woman?”

Uhm, sentences #1 and #2 specifically state both victims were women.

As to the first, well, lesbian voyeurs don’t typically fit into this scenario, but of course it’s possible Ms. Cell Phone really wanted to preserve that moment.

Morons are self-correcting, but until they are no longer a protected species, we’ll have to be tolerant.

If they were content merely to self-destruct, there wouldn’t be much of a problem, but unfortunately, in their deranged, malfunctioning subintellects, they are determined to drag the rest of us down that well known, well traveled Road to Hell—and that’s a BIG problem.
