At Last, Bathroom Signs That Put an End to the Absurd Debate

Introducing the “We Don’t Care” bathroom signs – the ultimate solution for gender inclusivity! These signs are here to send a clear message about the restroom controversy spurred by North Carolina: your gender should have no bearing on which bathroom you use.
Crafted by Kansas City artist Avery Lane, the sign features a half-man, half-woman figure with the bold words “We Don’t Care” below. Originally conceived as a response to the bathroom debate, these gender-inclusive signs gained immense popularity when Canada showcased a slew of them at the Canadian National Exhibition, the country’s largest fair. “It perfectly encapsulates what we wanted to convey: it doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman; everyone is welcome to use this restroom,” shared CNE General Manager, Mark Anderson, with Mashable.
The online reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, with people sharing photos across all social media platforms. “As an event, we strive to ensure fairness for everyone. If we can design restrooms that provide more privacy and comfort for our attendees, it’s a win-win,” Anderson noted. Imagine if more states could adopt this level of consideration instead of pushing forward with discriminatory legislation.
The controversy ignited when North Carolina passed a law requiring transgender individuals to use the restroom corresponding to the gender listed on their birth certificate. Most of the nation stood in disbelief, realizing that North Carolina had lost its way.
Many voices rose against this absurdity. Transgender activist Jenna Carter’s poignant selfie highlighted the ridiculousness of expecting her to use a men’s restroom. Retailer Target took a stand by allowing transgender individuals to choose the bathroom that aligns with their gender identity. Numerous artists canceled performances in the state, and a single father wrote a heartfelt piece emphasizing the foolishness of the entire bathroom debate.
While we await a shift in perspective from elected officials, it’s refreshing to witness others forging ahead in the right direction. CNE organizers believe that the movement toward more inclusive bathroom signage is long overdue. Anderson added, “We need facilities that reflect the diverse makeup of our community today.” Couldn’t agree more!
