Northwestern University will offer “gender-open restrooms” to its students this fall.
“We are trying to be responsive to the needs of all of our students and to be inclusive,” campus spokesman Bob Rowley said in an email to The College Fix. “This is becoming a common occurrence on campuses across the U.S.”
At Northwestern, the two sex-segregated bathrooms to be changed will simply have their front door placards replaced to reflect the transition – no major renovations are planned. The bathrooms are located on the third floor of the university’s main building that serves as the campus hub.
Northwestern joins the estimated 150 campuses across the nation that now offer some sort of gender-open restrooms, also called gender-neutral, unisex, or all-gender bathrooms, according to a tally by the LGTBQ group Stonewall at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.
But while advocates convey them as mostly “single-stall, lockable restrooms available to people of all genders,” it’s clear many are also sex-segregated bathrooms converted to open-gender ones, as is the case at Northwestern.
The concern among some female students who now must share restrooms with anatomically male students is apparently not significant enough to put the brakes on these transitions.
“We received overwhelmingly positive information, and so we went with it,” Devin Moss, the director of Northwestern’s LGBTQ Resource Center, told the Daily Northwestern. “We didn’t really get any major concerns.”

Words have "genders." People are divided, functionally, into sexes--as are all advanced forms of life (mammals, birds, etc.).
Of course the compulsive egalitarians would like to trivialize the importance of sex & sex-roles, by treating it as no more important than the gender forms of words.
(I am not accusing you of that. I realize that you are making fun of the stupidity involved, also. Cheers!)
“...Start labeling the bathrooms XX and XY. Regardless of how one identifies one’s gender...”
You want an XY who thinks they are XX and likes XYs to share toilets with your grandson?
Normal heterosexuals have rights too. Let the diseased share a rainbow toilet.
Idiots. The flaming liberals are complete idiots and will stop at nothing to promote their agenda and destroy our country in the process.
Several years ago, a male employee “transgendered” to female. There was an uproar among the women employees regarding which bathroom this person was going to use. Fortunately, the tranny agreed to use a lockable unisex bathroom that was created from one of the men's restrooms. I think h/she is the only person who uses that facility.
I trust these restrooms are also open for dogs and cats. Litter boxes and pee rugs are an important part of genuine accessibility.
Science deniers!
“Since I don’t think the push is to allow biological women to stand beside them at the urinals, but then, I could be wrong and these women without a penis might be demanding to use a urinal - they are that nuts!!!”
Have you ever been to see a showing of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show?” In my younger years I decided to see what the hoopla was all about....I still have the memory of the womyn using the urinals seared into my brain....what has been seen cannot be unseen.
Guess I’ll have to check it out. (RH, that is)
loops, you forgot your first name, fruit. Titles such as faggot and dyke are common temrm that any 3d grader will know. Your PC crap is hardly friendly to my family.
