IDBillzFan Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 There are approximately 700,000 transgender adults in the US. And they need some pooping comforts at work. So OSHA issues guidelines on transgender bathroom guidelines. I think there are also 700,000 other adults in the US who believe they are Klingons, so I'll be curious how OSHA handles that next.
keepthefaith Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 So the run of the mill restroom is not already safe and convenient? When shopping for toilets I haven't seen separate models built specifically for men, woman or those in-between.
Chef Jim Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 So for our progressive friends who feel that government isn't out of control only need to read this: In describing best practices, OSHA said many companies have implemented written policies to ensure that all employees have prompt access to appropriate sanitary facilities and are given additional options, including use of a single-occupancy gender-neutral or unisex facility or use of multiple-occupant, gender-neutral restroom facility with lockable single-occupant stalls. Do any of you work in a place that doesn't either have lockable stall or a lockable door if it's a one banger? What an absolute waste of my money.
Azalin Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I think there are also 700,000 other adults in the US who believe they are Klingons, so I'll be curious how OSHA handles that next. Qapla!

You joke...but Seattle does keep Klingon interpreters on retainer to deal with those who honestly believe they're Klingons.
unbillievable Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Contrary to what TV/Movies have shown, unisex bathrooms can only be single occupancy according to current building codes. I think this is more about shutting down gender specific restrooms. No more men's vs women's facilities. So say goodbye to large public restrooms. Men will just have to wait alongside the ladies at the Ralph.
Nanker Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Why no do like the Romans did? No walls, no stalls, just a little side modesty panel if they must. Have the ladies plunk their arses down side-by-side next to their neighbor on an open trench and do their business for #1, and let them have stalls for #2 like the gents do. That'd be equality too. They're the ones who need a water closet.
Chef Jim Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Hell when I was in high school we had no doors on the stalls. They didn't want us hiding in there smoking. Try to take a dump in those conditions.

We swam naked in Gym. Required. Anyone else do that? The transgenders weren't accommodated very well then.
Chef Jim Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 We swam naked in Gym. Required. Anyone else do that? The transgenders weren't accommodated very well then. You know there was a thread sometime ago that mentioned this. It blew me away the number of people that said that was a requirement. Our school provided us with bathing suits color coded to your size.
Azalin Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 We swam naked in Gym. Required. Anyone else do that? The transgenders weren't accommodated very well then. Ugh - unpleasant memories. That's probably why I skipped so many gym classes.

NO different that having to shower afterwards. I actually wouldn't mind going Starship Troopers. Just build one big locker room at the gym. Why no do like the Romans did?

They're the ones who need a water closet Remember when the Russians had toilets facing each other at the Olympics? It was a culturally thing. Not uncommon in Russia, but the western countries freaked out.
Chef Jim Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 You and every other guy Mike. http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/02/politics/mike-huckabee-transgender-caitlyn-jenner/index.html
/dev/null Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 We swam naked in Gym. Did you go to that school where Denny Hastert taught? Remember when the Russians had toilets facing each other at the Olympics? It was a culturally thing. Not uncommon in Russia, but the western countries freaked out. In Soviet Russia, the KGB is all into your sh*t. Literally
