<p>At one point it was policy that if a single person on a hall was uncomfortable with all-gender bathrooms, the bathroom there had to be gendered. I’m pretty sure that’s changed, but it may still be the case.</p>
<p>If you end up with a bathroom situation that you’re really not comfortable with - whether the hall voted for all-gender and you’re only comfortable in gendered, or vice versa - there are a few things you can do:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Use the E-system for the bathroom, so that people can gender or ungender it depending on their preference. That’s a solution that accommodates everyone.</p></li>
<li><p>Have another hall meeting about it and ask people to reconsider their decision. You can ask the RA to advocate for you anonymously if you’re worried about speaking up yourself.</p></li>
<li><p>Use a comfortable bathroom on another hall. (And since most halls have one bathroom, if the bathrooms were gendered there’s a 50% chance that you’d have to walk to another hall anyway.)</p></li>
</ul>
<p>You can also ask to live on a single-sex hall, where the bathrooms are more likely to be gendered. (Conversely, someone who needed an all-gender bathroom could apply for the co-ops, where the bathrooms are virtually always “just bathrooms”.)</p>
