"Insane" is a woefully inadequate description

Seeing a lot of use of the phrase "rapidly changing society" lately.

I guess that's one way to consider this development:

Aiming to curb gender bias and harassment in New York City, officials are readying a plan that would require businesses to convert one-person restrooms into gender-neutral facilities. 
Legislation is being introduced that would require publicly available, single-occupancy restrooms in both public and private buildings to be designated as gender-neutral. 
It would also amend the language of some city laws, including the plumbing code, which requires separate lavatories for men and women. 
“We must look to help trans-gender individuals who quite frankly, have fears,” New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer told WCBS 880’s Ginny Kosola.
“This is a very important issue,” said New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer, whose office is releasing a report Friday recommending the changes. “It’s time to help individuals who identify as transgender to use the bathroom without fear of consequence.”
Guess I'm all done relieving myself in public accommodations when I'm in New York.

And, along with the obvious issue of the obliteration of natural sex differences, there's that word "require."   Our goose-stepping overlords love to "require" things.
