I work somewhere with gendered bathrooms (in a very conservative city) and customers have to ask me to the key to the washrooms. The problem is, they never overtly refer to which key they want. How do I ask without ‘offending’ cispeople?

Offer them both keys. This works particularly well if the bathroom keys have the bathroom they go to attached (like the little skirted figure or the little unskirted figure).

Alternatively you might just have to assign gender to people which is uncomfortable.

About Me

Autostraddle.com is my website. I made this tumblr in mid-2009 because we just can't get enough internet.

Autostraddle likes queers, photography, pretty girls and pure poetry. She has many talents, including jumping & tumbling. She also enjoys words, lesbians and girl-on-girl culture. She is best enjoyed with a balanced breakfast at Autostraddle.

Riese is responsible for everything here, more or less.

our favorite tumblr is fuck yeah autostraddle

We're also big fans of straddle gifs, hotties with autostraddle swag, camp autostraddle tumblr and autostraddle spam.

You used to be able to ask us questions on formspring, but formspring has been shut down as of March 31st, 2013. Sadness.
