Behind The Scenes

• Cartman’s new “transginger” bathroom is actually modeled after Matt and Trey's shared bathroom at work.
• From the writers: "It was fun to pick up a small storyline and push it into the next episode."
• From the writers: "While talking about this episode, Trey's dad, Randy, was in the Writer's Room for a day. He's a fluvial geomorphologist."

Even something as small as Cartman's comic books must be mocked up & approved prior to animation:

Pop Culture References

• "He's not a woman, he's not a man. He is something that you'll never understand. But he would die for me." - Butters' line here is actually an homage to the Prince song "I Would Die 4 U".

Bonus Factoids

• There's always been more men than woman at #SouthPark, and Matt & Trey have always talked about being frustrated waiting to use the bathroom.
• From the writers: "EVERYONE knows girl's bathrooms are nicer than boys' bathrooms."
• For the first time, we now know the full name of Randy's coworker "Nelson"... Peter Nelson.
• Trey claims there is one South Park employee in particular that destroys the Men’s room on a regular basis.
• Trey wrote the "Lorde" song... And he was not in the bathroom when he wrote it.

Easter Egg: Gluten Free Beer

Randy is also drinking Gluten Free beer in this scene.
