We’ve seen schools and businesses try to deal with the controversy over transgender restroom access with humor, such as the restaurant in Texas that decorated its restroom doors with photo enlargements of Bruce Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner. But Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass., is taking the whole thing very seriously.
Lone Conservative founder Kassy Dillion shared this photos of the restroom signs on campus. There are no men’s or women’s restrooms, only restrooms with urinals and without.

That’s pretty woke.
I don’t know which one to pick!

Someone go inside and do some reconnaissance so we know just what we’re dealing with.
Can confirm, the “restroom without urinals” does not have a sanitary disposal unit for tampons or pads. How progressive!

This restroom also 100% still smells disgusting. Aim dudes- I mean people with penises.
— Kassy Dillon (@KassyDillon) November 9, 2017
Also… it’s “without” not “with out”
THIS IS A COLLEGE!

It’s a college, but how long before these signs are in pretty much every government building and school?
So a man can just follow a woman into whichever one she picks no questions asked. This is insane. #WarOnWomen

Depending on his preference for urinals, apparently so.

"Ourinals" is more inclusive than "Urinals"

This is discrimination against urinals

The sink is not off limits

Hilarious that they think the reason people choose which one to use is primarily based on what sort of hardware is inside.https://t.co/d7it63SwNf

Someone should have told them that "without" is one word. https://t.co/XiiNJtCfQB

What's an "out urinal"?

Is there SERIOUSLY A typo in a college’s restroom signs?
— JOE-verthinking™ ? (@josephkoss) November 9, 2017
Why not just use a diagram of a urinal, and a diagram of an x'd out urinal. Mark my words, someone is going to complain that you have to be able to READ to decide which bathroom to use. Better yet: multilingual signs! ?

"These signs are ableist and discriminate against those who can't read!"
You know someone said it. https://t.co/CN7POqL3fG

No braille, no Spanish/iconography. Sight impaired people, non-English speaking and illiterate people will have no idea where to go, let alone that these are bathrooms. Smh

I suppose they couldn't use the pictures of the man and the woman, because, I mean, how confusing would it be to all the men wearing dresses, and ladies wearing jeans or slacks? Chaos I tell you!
— MikeHousego (@MikeHousego) November 9, 2017
Those signs suggest that Hampshire College has noticed a difference in the 2 types of people that will use them. They are too afraid to say Men & Women.

I'm just going to pick the bathroom with the shortest line!

We’ll bet in the United Federation of Planets they have exactly the same signs. What did they have on the USS Enterprise?
When the entire world around you is stupid, but you try really hard to follow the rules anyway https://t.co/T9Bokiw80H
