During the seventies and eighties I did do some flying, not a whole lot, just enough that it got old. One day when I was waiting in a lobby out front of the ticket counter, I glanced over and saw these symbols. The ceilings were very high and the symbols were quite a distance away.

There were 3 of them. On the left, there was depiction of a woman. Below it was a ladies room. On the right was a depiction of a man. Below it was a men’s room. Then, right in the middle there was a question mark. Below it, well it was an information desk.

I can’t help thinking back over it and the implications. I wonder from time to time if they ever changed it. However, in this day and age, it does have new meaning doesn’t it. I mean we are now in a world where we can’t determine a gender. So, maybe in the future, those who don’t know what they are, they can go to the desk below the question mark. Maybe, after a complete exam, they can provide the info they are after. Perhaps, THEY can point them in the right direction.

Then again, besides the woke, who needs an exam at all.

As a short aside, I wonder just why it is that the US is about the only country so dumb that men and women cannot be determined, even by a Supreme Court justice.
