these new bathroom laws are shit. Sometimes people just can't help it

46. It would seem a reasonable courtesy

If "aesthetic priorities" is a fancy way of saying "needs to use the bathroom",

No, it's a reference to your numerous previous posts in which you've scoffed and clucked your tongue righteously at the silly, puritanical sensibilities of society. And to hell with a society that doesn't share your particular agenda.

if I need to go, I am going to join the line in the men's room regardless of whether it is composed of men, women, transgender folk, or a mixture thereof.

That's your choice, and I don't believe that anyone here has forbidden you to do so. The issue at hand, in fact, has nothing to do with you, despite your clear intent to make it so; it's about one man's courteous choice to respect the privacy of a woman who had to use the designated men's room under urgent circumstances. Rather than simply recognizing that his choice was polite and different than yours would have been, you turned it into a soap box from which to declare your enlightened superiority.

Interesting to see how many DUers seem to have significant hang-ups over this concept.

Well yes, this is the part where you congratulate yourself. Again.
