Yin, Yang, what?
This restroom sign using the “yin and yang” symbol is particularly perplexing. While the designer may have thought the symbolism was self-explanatory, it lacks clarity in distinguishing between gendered restrooms.
The absence of clear indicators beyond the “yin and yang” symbol makes it difficult to determine the factors influencing the decision to use one restroom over the other. This sign exemplifies the unnecessary complexity of gendering restrooms, which can lead to confusion and misinterpretation.
