Asshole College Students Hold A “Shit-In” Inside Bathroom Stalls To Demand Gender Neutral Bathrooms

Students at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst are staging a week-long “shit-in,” occupying restrooms in an administration building to demand more gender-neutral facilities.

The “Shit-In at Whitmore” demonstration began Monday morning at the Whitmore Administration building (which the activists have nicknamed “Queermore”), and organizers intend to have students continue occupying stalls in the building’s male and female restrooms until their demands are met, though the Facebook event specifies a Friday afternoon ending.

Gender Liberation UMass (GLU), a student group at UMass, is responsible for organizing the event, and provides an online sign-up form for supporters to stake out specific times and locations, giving them the option of stating whether they prefer to be along in a stall or to share one with “other sitters.”

The primary goal of the protest is to convince the administration to convert additional bathrooms on campus into gender-neutral facilities by changing the signage, which the group believes will promote “trans inclusivity and safety on campus,” but GLU has also articulated two additional demands, pledging to continue obstructing toilets until all three are met.

The flyer:

Are we surprised at this? Real question. I can’t decide if this headline is even attention grabbing in 2016.

I don’t know what to say anymore about this type of thing. It’s almost a non-story when something like this pops up in the news. This isn’t as bad as the “cry-in” people who were sad over the election and decided to very literally cry their pain away for attention, or shit maybe it is. I don’t even know. If you want to publicly cry because you didn’t get your way or sit inside a smelly bathroom stall with your weird friends until gender neutral bathrooms are a thing at your school, have at it. You weird fucks.

At least these UMass kids are actually doing it for a purpose. Props to them for that. The cry-in morons were protesting after the fact. The election was over. The ballots counted. Done. There is no desired outcome other than spreading awareness that they didn’t like the results of a democratic process. Okay? And what would you like us to do about it? Boo hoo, you crybabies. Maybe vote next time.

Imagine having to take an emergency shit and clinched-cheek speed-walking down the hall to the restroom but you can’t use the shitter because each stall is filled to the brim with scarfed assholes who aren’t even in there to take shits. That’s messed up..
