I...survived an hour-and-a-half meeting with campus administration about having more non-gendered bathrooms.  I was there along with a trans guy and three butch cis women from the LGBTQ Faculty-Staff Association.  Administration promises to put a single-user non-gendered bathroom in every new building that gets built. The bad news: because multi-stall non-gendered bathrooms are obviously impossible, administration has no plans to put any non-gendered bathrooms in the main academic core of campus in the next five years.
 
And now I feel sick to my stomach and really drained.  Administration was even fairly supportive as such things go: the Facilities people were better than my limited experience with MIT Facilities people about this.  (I gather things have gotten better there since I left?)  I just...find these things incredibly stressful and hard to survive.  I hope my body language of probably appearing progressively more sick to my stomach and spent as the meeting went on didn't hurt us.  I think I managed to be civil when talking?
