Yale University introduces gender-neutral bathrooms in 23 buildings
Visitors at Yale University’s 315th commencement will notice something new on campus this year — gender-neutral bathrooms in 23 buildings.
The school is promoting them on its website for Monday’s commencement, complete with a link to a map showing where they can be found.
It is one of several changes made in the past school year designed to make the university friendlier to transgender students, staff and visitors, school officials said.
Yale also has decided to change a long-standing rule and will allow transgender graduates to have on their diploma the name they use, rather than the name on their birth certificates.
“Yale aims to be a leader on this front,” said Tamar Gendler, dean of Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences. “Part of what is important about the all-gender bathroom project and about putting it at the top of our commencement site, is this is about public signaling.”
Yale’s Equal Opportunity Statement, which covers all students and employees, has since 2006 prohibited discrimination based upon gender identity or expression in admission, education and employment.
But Isaac Amend, a rising senior who is transitioning to male, said he and other members of the transgender community noticed a big difference at Yale after Caitlyn Jenner’s transition brought transgender issues into the national spotlight.

Wait, I thought college campuses are hunting grounds for feral men who rape, pillage, plunder, and prey upon the helpless women folk thereabouts.
So, colleges think it is a grand idea to allow those rapey rapists into the bathroom with their potential victims now?
I reckon one needs a college education to see the logic in that particular arrangement.
College is where we’re lead to believe approximately 100% of all women are forcibly gang raped on a daily basis. I’m sure this will help. I am utterly convinced of this.
