Reducing Sex Discrimination -- One Toilet At a Time

Ian Ayres

Is it legal for employers to set aside single-toilet bathrooms just for men or just for women?

This piece in Slate argues the answer is no. [By the way, I formally disavow the title that Slate chose for the article -- maybe my least favorite publication title ever.]

It is another example of turning my pet peeves into publications. In one sense liberating, but it also raises important questions about institutional loyalty.

Ken-
I don't know if the incident in his counter example took place with a single-user bathroom, but clearly it could. It would just involve seeing the transgendered person coming out of that bathroom and recognizing them as transgender, rather than just a member of opposite sex who is "cheating" on which bathroom to use. Bigots who recognize that person as transgender may well still beat them upon noticing that person using a single user bathroom.
 

No matter how good you are at planning, the pressure never goes away. So I don't fight it. I feed off it. I turn pressure into motivation to do my best.
