Dwinelle Hall bathroom protest addresses issue of all-gender restrooms on campus

On Wednesday morning, a small group of students posted signs and occupied bathrooms in Dwinelle Hall as part of an ongoing effort to pressure the administration to provide more gender-neutral restroom options on campus.

The group behind the protest, known as the Bathroom Brigade, displayed signs and covered the male and female icons on the bathroom doors with notices encouraging “everyone, of all genders, to use this bathroom.” Additional notices, designating the bathrooms as gender-neutral spaces, were placed over stalls, mirrors and towel dispensers, while participants handed out flyers to incoming students.

In recent weeks, the Bathroom Brigade has made similar efforts to rebrand restrooms in Evans Hall and the Valley Life Sciences Building in order to pressure administration to provide at least one gender-neutral bathroom in every building.
