Uninclusive Inclusive Bathrooms


Every time I think about it it becomes more absurd. I imagine a conversation something like this:

Why a dress?
Oh, because it’s what distinguishes men from women.
So men can’t wear dresses?
No, they can, but it’d be taboo.
So people in dresses can technically go into men’s restrooms and most people in the women’s restroom wear pants - what actually distinguishes the bathrooms from each other?
Gender, of course!
Wait, so gender, this elusive, often variable, internal concept, determines where we pee?
Well, by “gender,” I really meant “sex.” Like penis and vagina.
…Still an elusive, sometimes variable concept. Also WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU SO WORRIED ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE’S GENITALS YOU’RE NEVER GOING TO SEE OR HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH
