Heavy-Handed Politics links to a story in the Boston Globe revealing that the University of Vermont has added gender-neutral bathrooms at its new student center. Each bathroom cost about $2,500 to put in, and are intended for people with disabilities or transgendered people.
I'm not sure what kind of a back-handed compliment that is to the 'transgendered', but I suppose the intent was noble. According to Annie Stevens, assistant vice president for student and campus life, "It's about inclusivity and accessibility and the importance of meeting all people's needs, not just a few."
Logically surmising there are very few people who actually required these expensive bathrooms, Heavy-Handed points out the fallacy: "Meeting the needs of 99.9% of the population is just a few?"
When are people going to stop tolerating this ridiculous political correctness for the most miniscule minority possible? Last I checked, most bathroom stalls had doors on them. Problem solved.
There's my two cents.
