This was a really informative post. However you fail to propose a new way of labeling restrooms to accommodate the trans and gender queer community.

Fascinating post. I have no idea why I enjoyed it so much. I’m going to view toilet signs in a whole new light. I’ll see if I can find some more for your collection.

Just visited a Schlotzky’s Deli where the bathroom signs read “shapely bunz” (in script) and “MANLY BUNZ.” Aside from the inherent gendered BS associated with this, my poor buns felt somewhat confused about where they belonged!

Very nice post. I am from Brazil, but I lived in Germany for a year. When the Fire and Water signs were shown I was confused by the sign and the name on it. Fire to my brazilian mind was for men but my mind was also reading “Damen” from the german Ladies. On the next paragraph you commented about that.

You were right about the Brazilian nouns. Here we say ”o fogo” (the fire, masculine) and “a flor” (the flower, feminine) so it really is a better match here to use “fire” for men and “flower” for women, instead of the other way around.

One Valentine’s day in McDonald’s, the sign on the women’s loos said “men, come on in”, and “ladies welcome” on the men’s. As I was only a little kid at the time, I was just confused, but now it really annoys me that huge companies like that can get away with these things
