From Poop to Problem: America’s Struggle to Accommodate Transgendered People in Public Restrooms Why is America obsessed with bathrooms? Personally I avoid obsessing over the places that people of all kinds make a tinkle or relieve the pressure on their external anal sphincters, or even on occasion both at the same time.

Based on the summary on the back of the book, people may think the book is good and it’s going to be quite interesting. The first chapter made the book seem like it was going to be boring because it started off really slow and very descriptive with a lot of description.
