A new study has beseeched the government to bring an end to the standard 'Ladies' and 'Gents' toilet signs so to not isolate transgender people.
The research, costing £50,000 in taxpayers' money, undertaken at Sheffield Hallam University, vouched that there should be "toilets with urinals" and "toilets without urinals."
Disabled toilets could be changed to 'larger toilet with grabs'. Sorry, but don't these sound like names a dog that has somehow been turned into a human and forced to blend in and understand their new society would come up with? Just me?

The spearheader of the study, Dr Jenny Slater, said: "Toilets may seem a frivolous subject, but they are at the heart of important discussions about how we understand our own identities."
"The starting point for us is to explore how disabled people and those identifying as trans, gender-queer or non-binary are treated in modern society."
The study, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, also suggested getting rid of hand-dryers as some people were "stressed" by the sound, arguing instead for the return of paper towels.
On a completely separate note, readers, I would appreciate if you signed my petition to get James Dawson to shave his mophead. Thank you.
