Bravo, Tim! I learned a lot from your research. Thanks! What I already knew, however, is that “Potty Politics” is yet another nom de guerre for the policy extremists- those thumpers upon whom the concept of utilitarianism is lost entirely.

Here’s the truth … ask any dad how hard it’s been to find a changing table in the men’s room; ask a single father how uncomfortable it is when his little girl has to go, right now!; ask any mom about the profound anxiety she feels when her little boy goes into the men’s room alone to make a #2; then ask the segregationists if they would make unisex restroom exceptions in these scenarios … Because when it comes to taking care of business, what’s under the hood is truly no one else’s business.

Public restrooms serve a utilitarian function, one that shouldn’t be segregated. Let folks use the bathroom for goodness sake! It seems only fair since we let the haters keep their voter registration cards.

On behalf of all who’ve worked so diligently to reinvent the toilet, I humbly submit further evidence that this is a first-world problem (i.e. not actually a problem), found here:
