Choosing Signs for Gender Neutral Washrooms

Here's a link to an article on the Vancouver Parks Board trying to find a universal sign for their new gender neutral washrooms in their parks. What do you guys think? Which sign would you prefer? I like the one with tthe "three genders" symbols. I would hate that inverted triangle rainbow.

How about simply "Washroom" or the "old" Male and Female on one sign.

At least VPB is showing progress which is more than I can say for most of Canada.

Huggs, :wub:

Oh shucks, just go for a crescent moon, like the doors to the old one hole outhouses used!! Those were always gender neutral, and you got to read what was left of the Sears Roebuck catalog.

So these doors will have girl stick figs, boy stick figs, and then one of the other options too? Because just the girl/boy on the door doesn't show it's gender neutral?

The Vancouver TGs get to vote to other themselves?

Visiting Stanley park could be a bit more accomodating and I think it's great they are thinking progress and all.

However I just can't really like either symbol, perhaps just use the word "family" like they do here down south, and use both male and female symbols, eh ?

I prefer male/female/wheelchair accessible signs. I may be trans in one way or another but I have no desire to tell the world that. And I rarely use a washroom that's not wheelchair accessible.

      Personally, I think the moderators here strike the perfect balance, and I'd like to thank you all for your efforts.

      Don't forget TJ Maxx for purses.  I have purchased several from there.  They offer a great variety with good prices.  You can even find high-end bags at affordable prices.   @Ladypcnj purses are one of my weaknesses as well.

      When I get stuck in androgynous mode for an extended period I have to admit that I salve the dysphoria at times through retail therapy.    And, I've been busy. I search for bargains a lot of eBay, put items on my watchlist, wait for an offer and then typically make a lower counter-offer. Most of the items I buy are new. The strategy has gotten me some amazing deals on brand name clothes.   I will also admi to being a Talbot's Girl and all these are Talbot's items. Their clothes just seem ti fit me well. New in my closet are:

      We have even had them here from time to time I am afraid.   The rights of Free Speech actually carry a weighty responsibility to take the consequences of making that speech and it is that responsibility where the persons making the FREE hateful statements break down.  They insist that the Right shields them from the consequences, but it makes them all the more liable for them in reality.

      I hope you have a wonderful day and lunch!!

      When and if a post is removed here, there is always a PM to the poster to explain the action and offer them an opportunity to amend the post to align with T&C's (if possible).     Certainly!  There are always those who will flaunt the rules.

      Good morning!! Nice day preparing hamburgers and chips for lunch today for a visiting house guest.

      Actually, Memorial Day is the day where we remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.   Veteran's Day, November 11th, is the day where we honor all who served.   Here is something I found that distinguishes among Memorial, Veteran's and Armed Forces day.

      I think Norstrom and Marshalls would be the top leading stores for both fashion and their collections of purses.

      Welcome to TGP, Amy! You'll find many like-minded people here as well as tons of information. Don't worry about trying to describe yourself. Relax, ask questions, and join in where you feel comfortable.    I started out like you, crossdressing in private, even hiding it from my wife, before coming to the realization that it was much more. I'm still only out to my wife, therapist and priest.....and, of course, everyone here. We all understand how difficult it can be to find oneself amid the emotions and challenges.    We are each unique yet share many commonalities.    We're glad you found us!

      You are more brave than I. It's only 60 here right now.

      I was doing my best to get past the fear and shame i felt whenever i went out in public so when i went to therapy and later to my doctor i presented as the woman i felt myself to be.  There was a policy that one had to live as their chosen gender for a year prior to starting HRT.  In some ways that seemed almost right to me as one of the hardest things we do is the entry into society as ourselves.     Of course the way you dress is up to you but be assured that your doctor is there to support not denigrate your decision.   Hugs,   Charlize

      You are right, there are no actual 'roos in Tassie, just their smaller cousins like wallabies and pademelons. Devils are really cute. If you got to see the adults in full noise, you can easily understand why they got portrayed that way in the Looney Tunes cartoons! Emus, or 'bush chooks', have a habit of sneaking up on you and stealing food. I was at an open range zoo a few years ago and was holding a bag of pellets behind me to hide it from the emus in front of me, when one snuck up behind me and stole it. I've never jumped so high in my life! I almost needed to change my undies! 😆
