Urinary Signage/Segregation

Submitted by Anne Dalke on Wed, 02/16/2011 - 9:18pm

I wanted to record a coupla' things arising from our class conversation today about "information."

First, I'd promised you some signage. I got interested in this question when I was on the Transgender Task Force a few years ago, and we were talking about (what else?) single use and gender-neutral/flexible bathrooms:

 
 

some alternatives....?









How abstract, how specific,
how evocative should/might these signs be?

More important than representation (as tangerines suggested in class)
is the question of how much effort we should put into  maintaining "urinary segregation."
(I am thinking especially here of religious strictures on gender differentiation/separation/purity....)
