The Bathroom Problem
Gender Binary – Cultural/Societal Construction
![Page 2: The bathroom problem 2 (1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081404/55930d8b1a28ab0b318b468a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The Bathroom Problem is a complication faced
by individuals that cannot “pass” for either male or female with conviction, when perceived by strangers in public spaces. The aforementioned individuals do not have a space in many cases, in which they can take care of their bodily functions with peace of mind when in public areas. In a binary bathroom system, where can an individual that does not undeniably pass for male or female relieve themselves with peace of mind and comfort?
What is The Bathroom Problem?

Choose your consequence
In a matter of 6 words, this photo does a good job suggesting the likely consequences faced by individuals affected by gender dysphoria - that use public restrooms. Either get yelled at by women, or get beat up by men. Anyone that fails to “pass” is likely to experience discrimination by others. However, discrimination is not limited to individuals affected by gender dysphoria.

Binary Bathroom System
![Page 5: The bathroom problem 2 (1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081404/55930d8b1a28ab0b318b468a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Is this the solution?
Perhaps this can work in public bathrooms designed to be used by one person at a time.

The future?

Gender Binary – Cultural/Societal
Construction Gender and sex are
complex subjects, that is for certain. What will the future look like in regard to gender and sex?
I identify myself as a man, that expresses himself in a androgynous manner, I was born and remain male, and my sexual orientation is heterosexual. How do you see yourself?

How many bathroom categories ought to exist?
Is three a safe number? Two is definitely NOT cutting it. Perhaps this is the answer
I believe there should be three bathroom categories, male, female, and gender-neutral.

Grant High's transgender students get unisex bathroom
option Scott Morrison, 17, a
transgendered student at Grant High School, would refrain from drinking water during his school day because using the bathroom was so stressful. He says the conversion of six bathrooms at the Northeast Portland school is a "godsend.“ Thomas Boyd/The Oregonian

Trading Places
Trading Places starring Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy is an interesting film that deals with the nature v. nurture argument.
What makes us male, female, or none of the above? Is it our decision at the end of the day? According to one of my friends, she knew someone that grew up in a traditional/conservative household, yet his sexual orientation was homosexual. Some people argue that, “they are born this way” which implies sexual orientation is influenced by genes. Clearly environment did not prevail in the case of my friend’s friend, and many people do not support the “born this way” argument. In fact, some people take offense to that manner of thinking, as if there is something wrong with being homosexual or bisexual. Choice in terms of sexual orientation comes down to gender identity and how we feel/think about ourselves. I feel like a man, thus I am one.
