Single occupancy all-gender option

In your editorial of July 26 you mention transgender bathrooms. Once again you fail to say anything about the easiest way to solve the problem. Just like Sanicans, which both sexes use all bathrooms could be modified with all enclosed stools, like women’s bathrooms do now. They would need to have the dividers go all the way to the floor and have the overhead covered. Any one can use them without embarrassing others.

Sinks would of course be as they are now. Doors to the bathrooms would be removed.

You could of coarse have this setup as a third bathroom altogether but of course you would still have the liberal, progressive, socialist contingent saying it is still not enough.
