Hello from Canada,

This is quite a bit lighter as a topic than guns or burnt-out committee
members, but our development permit is requiring that we have male and
female washrooms in our common house, meaning we must have two accessible
washrooms rather than the one we planned and think adequate.  This will
cut into the space in a children's room that doesn't seem very large
already.  Our project is in the early stages of being built and we are
appealing this decision.  Just thought it might help to find out if this
has come up in other projects.  If we can say, "no other cohousing common
houses have gendered washrooms", it may strengthen our appeal. 

Thanks.
