On Women's Safety in Restrooms

This video is an indirect response to the allegations on the part of Citizens for Good Public Policy. If we are really to effectively address safety in restrooms, we ought to be advocating for single-stall, gender-neutral restrooms in which all have complete control over the space when in use.

People should be allowed to enter a restroom and feel safe. Why not construct spaces you can walk into, close, and lock behind you and share with no one?

Amendment 1 is not really about bathrooms. If it was, Citizens for Good Public Policy would be advocating for these aforementioned single-stall restrooms. Don't believe the scare tactics. Amendment 1 is really about discrimination. Vote NO on Amendment 1!

This video is an edited, shortened version of "Toilet Training" produced by the Silvia Rivera Law Project.

This video is posted on behalf of Pride Student Union at the University of Florida. We encourage you, again, to vote NO on Amendment 1 in the city of Gainesville. For more information about the amendment, head to http://www.equalitygainesville.com/ .

Just because someone says they are something, doesn't make them that. I don't want a man in my bathroom, period. It's uncomfortable.

I think femistas should be allowed to wear a Kevlar helmet and full body armor at the working place.

You want a "woman's space?" You already have one. It's called the kitchen.

Get your whiny asses back in there and make me a sammich.  Problem solved.

The part of this video that is missing is the information that the Citizens for Good Public Policy are putting forward. It seems implied, but who are they, why do they make these claims, how does it affect the rights of anyone?

Well put. We've got unisex bathrooms only at nursing school and nobody seems to have any trouble with it..

I would be able to hear the video if my dad weren't so loud.
