Not unisex. Omnisex.

Like me, my friend Charles agrees with implementing unisex restrooms but makes an excellent point about how to name these spaces.

Shouldn’t they be called omni-sex restrooms?

“Uni” is a prefix meaning “one, or having or consisting of one.

“Omni” is a prefix meaning “all, of all things.”

He’s right.

A unisex restroom is intended for all people, and yet the name we currently use implies that it is for only one person.

All-gender restrooms work, too, but definitely not unisex.

Someone go fix this. Okay?
