So there are co-ed washrooms now in the University of Victoria s Student Union Building. Big deal, we might say. Toilets that can be used by both, or all, sexes have existed at other European and North American universities such as the University of B.C., McGill and York for some time. This is a big deal, though, to UVic students who are transsexual and who can raise eyebrows, even abuse, if they walk into a ladies or gents where they re not expected or accepted. The wonder is, that in parts of the world where there aren t more pressing issues like war and famine, it s taking so long for societies to embrace all the diversities of those who make them up.
