“Pee privilege” is a big enough concern at Northern Arizona University to warrant official signage outside restrooms.
“Lumberjacks” attending class in Flagstaff are being asked outside bathroom facilities to mull over transgender politics. Posted information discusses privileges bestowed upon those who do not question gender, along with the proper etiquette for dealing with individuals who appear out of place.
“Do you have pee privilege?” signage provided to the educational watchdog Campus Reform on Monday reads. “The ability to know which bathroom to pick is a characteristic of pee privilege.”
Another sign of “do’s and don’ts” at the public university instructs students not to question a person who seems to be using the wrong bathroom.
“Gender variant people are at high risk of verbal, sexual, and physical assault,” a notice reads.
NAU’s signs come against a political backdrop in which Obama-era guidance to schools by the departments of Education and Justice was jettisoned by President Trump.

The Republican administration’s first “Dear Colleague” letter in February rescinded guidance on transgender issues without offering a replacement.
Officials with NAU did not respond to Campus Reform’s request for comment as of Tuesday.
