...bathroom accessibility is a major issue for those of us whom it does affect here. Opponents of gender-non-specific single-stall bathrooms have argued that desegregating these bathrooms by gender would decrease cleanliness.

If I want to concern myself with depths of literal meaning, I’ll sooner read a novel than search for the same kind of voice in music, which hits ears first and mind second.
