Beijing’s new all-genders toilet ruling was definitely a step forward for the city’s diverse and unrepresented masses.

The standard mops, the short handled mops, the average brooms, the hastily assembled straw brooms, the twig brooms, the Swiffers, the microfiber mops, the mops with rotating heads, the mops with string heads and the mops with rag strip heads, the feather dusters and the sponge mops, all welcomed without prejudice into any bar or cafe or government office toilet.

The rush of emotions felt following this unexpected declaration of inclusion was short lived, however.

Tang XiaoXiao had been queuing for a week now at her office’s lone toilet and was feeling desperately uncomfortable.

What was that rag doing in there?

Weirdos.
