"Welcoming Spaces" at Colorado University

Better check the signs on the restroom doors at the home of the Colorado Buffaloes:
A transgender task force wants to bring more "all-gendered" bathrooms to the University of Colorado-Boulder campus, the Boulder Daily Camera reported in its Monday editions.

"It's about creating more welcoming spaces," Bryce Abelson told the newspaper.

Abelson identified himself as "gender queer," a person who is neither male or female. He said he doesn't feel comfortable in the men's bathroom and gets strange looks when he walks in the women's bathroom.

Task force members believe the costs of changing current male and female bathrooms will be minimal because only the signs need to be changed on existing bathrooms. One bathroom already exists outside the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Resource Center.

The sign for a transgender bathroom is half of a figure wearing a dress and the other half wearing pants.
All they want is a home where the Buffalo roam, where the queer and antelope play....
