      Well it took four years to get the policy in place and all the hoohaw in the Post, and then it was started by a pilot program in select dorms and not immediately operated full scale…so obviously some people were hesitant about it…

    Great to see that “the gender element doesn’t matter,” but that girls = pink and guys = blue.

      It’s kind of impossible to talk about ”gender neutral’ without talking about what gender IS, even if you don’t believe in following gender roles.

      it’s about the unity and blending of the genders, hence the gradient between the colors
