Doors Marked Penis And Vagina [and optionally, a third with a “Question Mark”]
This was written in response to a friend’s Facebook post on #transgender rights. “Here’s a simple solution,” He prompted my story, “If a bathroom is labeled by physical organs, rather than gender, the issue at hand becomes irrelevant.”
If you liked it, please ‘recommend’ my story with the little heart. ❤ ~Filene
You meet a cute girl at a bar.
She smiles. You buy her a drink. You talk to her all night. She likes the same sports teams you do.
She is single, no kids. She eats her buffalo wings dainty, like you like. “Do you like something spicier?” you ask. She asks, “Are you offering?” and you both laugh a little, while you smirk.
She says, “I gotta go to the bathroom.” and you say, “Sure, me too.” and then she stares at you, anxious. “Can I go first?” she says. You say, “Why can’t we go together?” and she laughs.
She says she likes to go alone. You think that’s weird, because, “Of course you’ll be going alone!” you claim.
She laughs again. She says she’d rather not. You say, “Why not get it over with?” She sighs hearing your deep truth, and says sure. Then you walk to the bathrooms at the establishment with her.
You walk over to the vagina door and hold it open for her.
This bill is not solely about bathrooms. It’s about hospitals. It’s about cabs. It’s about lawyers. It’s about schools. Any service offered to the public can make an exception if they would rather discriminate against a transgender citizen.
