Local Opinion Writer Will Sutton, Overgrown ManChild, WEEPS When Mixed-Use Bathroom Designations Are Torn Down
I challenge you to believe a grown man wrote this piece, or do you have a problem with ever-expanding gumbo?
Why hasn’t Will Sutton come clean?
Why won’t Willy reveal if he pees standing up or sitting down?
Some wept.
Life in America in 2023. All happening right in front of your very eyes, if you can even believe them anymore.
Some are lucky enough to have three of them…
From Nola.com’s BoyManChildDeviantFreakWeirdo Will Sutton, who, you surely remember, demanded Martial Law during Covid and who boasted that he’d huddle in the corners of his house out of fear over the virus (I’m not indulging in that description, by the way):
You would think we'd all be accustomed to the idea of different types of bathrooms by now. But noooooo.
I don't know of a single person or family who has home bathrooms labeled only for men, women, children or families. Or for gay, lesbian, nonbinary or transgender people who might visit them.
Most of us make do with one or two bathrooms at home, or even partial bathrooms. Some are lucky enough to have three of them — and a few can afford four, five, six or more bathrooms.
But I doubt anyone labels them.
These days, bathrooms come with all manner of labels. Men. Men's. Women. Women's. Family. Unisex. All gender. And some with no labels.
At this year's National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in Higher Education annual gathering, held in New Orleans earlier this month, some 5,000 administrators, faculty, staff and others discussed ways to make the college experience more inclusive.
That means deep dives into critical race theory attacks and organized anti-CRT efforts, how to help transgender students feel safe on campuses, diversity and what it means beyond Black and White, and how we all can work to be more equitable.
NCORE, started at the University of Oklahoma, became "the nation's leading forum on race and ethnicity in higher education" before transforming into a conference intentionally inclusive of anyone and everyone interested in an ever-changing, ever-expanding gumbo of people who need acceptance, appreciation and support in higher education.
According to staff at the Riverside Hilton, the host hotel opened some bathrooms to all genders while others remained exclusively for men or women during the conference. Urinals were covered in at least one all-gender bathroom. All gender signs and explanatory notices were posted outside. Anyone could use the all-gender bathrooms.
Someone tore the signs down.
Hilton staff put up more signs.
I don't know if the perpetrator intended emotional injury, but that's what happened. It was painful to watch.
I saw conference attendees walk by, gasping in shock, hugging each other. Some wept.
NCORE sent an email to conference attendees: "Trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive communities have been and continue to be a key part of liberatory work. We at NCORE denounce and want to name clearly that these actions are unacceptable and not in alignment with NCORE's call to fostering inclusion," it read in part.
An NCORE representative read the official statement in front of hundreds and before a scheduled major keynote address. "This place is a refuge for all of us. If we want a new world and a new place, we have to find it here first," he continued to wild, supportive applause as he choked up with emotion. There was such warmth in the huge ballroom, even among strangers.
I attended enough of the NCORE conference that I had occasion to use several men's bathrooms. I also used one of the all-gender bathrooms — twice.
Once I locked the door behind myself, as anyone would have done. Another time I forgot to lock the door. As bad luck would have it, a woman entered a moment or two later. I gasped because I realized I had made a mistake. Fortunately, she was only putting something in the trash.
It was my mistake. I should have locked the door to spare the woman — and myself — the embarrassment.
Or I could've gone to a men's bathroom.
It was a choice — and a lesson.
If you've got to go, go where you're comfortable — and let others go where they're comfortable, too.
Or, just don't go to places where YOU might be uncomfortable or make others feel the same way.
First — I know how you’re feeling inside right now after reading Will’s piece — you feel like a fortified human being for knowing Mr. Sutton’s bathroom schedule at a conference of insufferably obnoxious Leftists. You’re grateful for him revealing this about himself to you.
Of course you are. What else would you be but grateful and fortified?
I get it. I feel much better about myself too having experienced Will’s courage to pee sitting down. And writing about it. (He could have kept it to himself but didn’t because that’s not what courageous men do!)
Like me, are you humbled by the part where he admits his mistake in not locking the stall door behind himself?

I’m very humbled by that part. Big time.
Humbled.

But what tugs at me the most — this is emotional so if you feel the trembling in my finger tips as I type it’s the empathy in you at work, to your credit, and if you need Kleenex now’s the time to get them - what tugs at me is the admission of “weeping” over the bathroom designations pulled down.
And those hotel workers who risked their black and brown bodies to put the signs back up - and not knowing what kind of white supremacist person it was that ripped the signs down to start with!
Battle-hardened men of courage put those signs back up. I didn’t think America made men as courageous as that anymore. Renews my faith in Country and Constitution.
Terrorists do that… pull down bathroom signs. In fact, they shoot dogs, torture cats, and pull down bathroom signs as a way to harden themselves to atrocity-doing, it’s part of their ISIS training that they don’t reveal to their mothers when they visit her one last time before they go on suicidal bathroom missions in America.
NCORE - what can I possibly say about NCORE - sounds like a group of upright, inspirational, strong people who love the Founding Fathers and the principles of hard work, integrity, honesty, and traditions.
Gosh. I know you’re feeling a movement, too.
Some wept.
You know I posted this article because I love you, right? Because I only want what’s best for YOU. I sacrifice and struggle and suffer to make your lives better. And I knew the risk. I had faced my Maker before hitting the “Publish” button on this piece.
Yeah, I know. I know. You’re in awe of me. (I’d be too if roles were reversed.)
My commitment humbles you just like the humbling I felt when learning Will didn’t lock the stall door - and admitted it!
I’d tremble but for the invigorated faith I have in humankind now.
Or I could've gone to a men's bathroom.
It was a choice — and a lesson.
Want to know the real truth though? I’m nothing compared to Will Sutton, I cannot lie to you. I’m nothing.
Wise up! Don’t be like me: Go make something of yourself and be, each and every day, just a little bit more like Will Sutton. Pee sitting down.
And lock the stall door.
Love this piece ✌️
