Manchester University has relabelled it’s toilets to avoid offending transgender students. Now instead of Ladies and Gents they’re labelled “Toilets” and “Toilets with urinals”. Transgender people are still confused, but now it’s about whether or not they can use a urinal.
So rather than classifying people as Women or Men, they’re classifying them as Penises or Vaginas. So much less offensive. / That should make them feel included.
A uni spokeswoman said “If you were born female… but define yourself as a man, you should be able to go into the men’s toilets”. That’s why they’ve taken them away.
A uni spokeswoman said “If you were born female… but define yourself as a man, you should be able to go into the men’s toilets”. And if you were born a man, but define yourself as “a milk carton”, you should be allowed to piss in peoples’ coffee.
“If you were born female… but define yourself as a man, you should be able to go into the men’s toilets”, said an angry Jenny Killip, women’s officer of the university. But don’t take it too seriously, she was just on her rags.
A uni spokeswoman said “If you were born female… but define yourself as a man, you should be able to go into the men’s toilets”. And good luck pissing in the urinal with a vagina.
Jenny Killip, the uni’s women’s officer, said “if you were born female… but define yourself as a man, you should be able to go into the men’s toilets”. But she just wanted to watch them and laugh as they tried weeing in the urinals without a penis.
An alternate proposal was just to establish a third toilet labelled “Freaks”. / “Whatever”.
If that’s what it takes to keep the freaks out of the men’s loos, I’m all for it.
The big problem wasn’t that women were using the men’s loos, the problem was that they weren’t hot. And they were actually there to use the toilets.
Transgendered women have been using the men’s dunnies, saying they “define as a man”. Though really, they just wanted to check out those weird “urinal” thingies.
I completely understand. I often use the disabled toilets because, deep down inside, I define myself as disabled. And it’s the same with the car-parking spaces.
I completely understand. I often enter doors that are labelled “Employees only”, because, deep down inside, I define myself as an employee. / labelled “No unauthorised access” because, deep inside myself, I define myself as authorised.
So they changed the toilets to read “toilets” and “toilets with urinals”. But, according to many academics, that placed an unfair focus on the “urinal”, and automatically redefined the default “toilet” as the Marginalised Other, devaluing its beinghood and deifying “with-urinalness” as a weighted symbol of the Patriarchal “Desirable Norm”. So now they’ve got rid of the toilets altogether, and everyone has to piss in the alley out the back.
Of course, having one marked “toilets with urinals” has made the one just marked “toilets” seem a lesser choice. So it’s been updated to “toilets that don’t stink like piss”. / “toilets with seats that aren’t covered in urine”. / “toilets with somewhere you can put your non-gendered tampons and pads”.
Of course, those people who don’t identify as men or women, but instead as postgendered non-specific biological entities, are allowed to piss in the sink.
Ladies and Gents signs led transgender people to use toilets where they felt uncomfortable. Whereas now, with everything just labelled “Toilets”, people are just pissing wherever they like.
Ladies and Gents signs led transgender people to use toilets where they felt uncomfortable. Because public toilets are just so very comfortable for everyone else. / Because if there’s one place I really feel comfortable, it’s in a public toilet.
So now at last, transgender people can go to the dunnies in peace, and everyone else can perve on the opposite sex.
I’m all for women and transgendered people being allowed to use urinals. If they want to stand and piss into a trough, touching elbows with other people, getting drops of other people’s urine on their shoes, they’re more than welcome – I’ll be by myself urinating in a cubicle like a civilised person.
A number of transgender women at the Uni claimed they were uncomfortable using men’s loos. It wasn’t that they were being harassed by men, it was just that the urinals acted as a cruel reminder that they didn’t have cocks.
It’s really just replacing separation by gender with separation by genital type. It’s quite amazing that such a stupid idea could ever get past the drawing board. But then it is a University.
The idea has caused a relabelling of toilets all over Manchester, to “Toilets” and “Toilets for University Feminazis That We Really Don’t Want Near The Rest Of Us”.
Obviously at Manchester Uni you can’t move for transgendered students who haven’t had surgery and yet want to use the other toilets despite the fact they’ve got the wrong genitals and then found themselves feeling uncomfortable because they aren’t equipped to use the urinals. No wonder they had to screw up everyone’s toilets.
