A California university is doing away with traditional men's and women's locker rooms in an effort to support transgender students - even as the state's governor condemns transgender athletes in female sports.
The University of California, Davis announced plans last month to renovate the locker rooms at its Activities and Recreation Center, citing student feedback as the motivation for the $5 million project.
'We value inclusive, accessible environments that accommodate the diverse needs of our community,' schools officials said at the time, according to Fox News.
'We are pleased to announce that we will be remodeling the current locker room facilities to implement universal locker rooms.
'All campus and recreation members can use our universal locker rooms, regardless of who they are and how they identify,' they continued, noting the space will be 'inclusive of members with disabilities and all gender identities.'

I started college in 1963. If they tried that back in the day, there would be a riot and maybe a lynching. But you would have to explain to them that this was really happening and not a sick joke.
