The University of Minnesota-Duluth administration ceded to student Blair Moses's demand for gender neutral bathrooms on campus after he threatened and began an extended hunger strike.
In late April, Moses sent a letter to the administration with two demands. First, he insisted they "take immediate action to begin the process of designating more gender neutral bathrooms." Second, he demanded an "announcement stating the said day of change."
In the letter, Moses threatened that if his demands were not met by April 26, he would begin a hunger strike for three weeks or more.

Should let him starve. Who cares about attention whore do what I say or I’ll starve myself idiots.
Seriously. I’d put a huge food cart in front of him everyday.
Ah, the ole Tyranny of Ignorance ploy.
Let him starve.
I used one gender neutral bathroom once in Japan - it’s a bit unnerving, to say the least.
At least it was for this westerner who wasn’t accustomed to the mores of the east.
A university caving in to some kook's “demands” simply because he goes on a “hunger strike”.
Ridiculous!
I think that third sign should be “Too PERVERTED To Know the Difference”.
Should have let him dine on his own feces !
I take it this bathroom will have a Numi, too.

And the idiot was only one day into it. I just hope this display of utter spinelessness adversely affects their alumni donations.
Ridiculous!
This guy is the campus shit-stirrer and he is at least part black. Of COURSE the university is going to cave.
I think I see the fellow's problem with regard to gender-neutral restrooms, though: He's got a woman's first name. There's no way he's involved with the BPP, not without changing *that* name to something that sounds African and/or Muslim.

So what. Let him starve. Give him a week and he’ll be back to eating Big Macs in one form or another.
The way to deal with such nonsense is through sarcasm. Flood the campus with threats to go on hunger strikes unless:
1) Students and faculty can attend class naked.
2) The school must give free ice cream cones on request.
3) The school mascot is changed to “The Fighting Pink Bunnies”.
4) All female students must wear fake mustaches on Wednesdays.
etc. It would bury this control freak’s message under a pile of silliness. Where it deserves to be.
Let him starve.
I suppose if it were set up so that nobody disrobed/unzipped except in closed stalls, or it was a single toilet room with a door that locked, it might not be so horrible. But still. It’s a temptation to weirdos.
In my experience, there was a long line of urinals and several stalls. The urinals were all open to anyone in the bathroom.
While I was taking care of busines at one of the urinals, a young Japanese lady came out of one of the stalls and walked behind me to get out.
We westerners just aren’t accustomed to this and I’m definitely not a fan.
