IDBillzFan Posted June 1, 2015 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted June 1, 2015 Share 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.

You joke...but Seattle does keep Klingon interpreters on retainer to deal with those who honestly believe they're Klingons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbillievable Posted June 2, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted June 2, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted June 2, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Not uncommon in Russia, but the western countries freaked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
