Why not let anyone use any toilet regardless of identity?
If it's unjust to segregate public facilities on the basis of sex, it's certainly unjust to segregate said facilities on the basis of gender identity.
- s73ver_ 9y ago"Why not let anyone use any toilet regardless of identity?" That's the idea behind single person restroom facilities, and it's a pretty good one. Unfortunately, in many places it just isn't feasible to renovate the existing facilities. And having a multi user restroom not be set up like that exposes people to the same dangers as if a trans woman was forced to use the men's room.
- empthought 9y agoWhat does a single-person facility have to do with it? Why is it legitimate to segregate multi-person facilities based on gender identity but not on sex? If men’s restrooms are dangerous for trans women then certainly they are dangerous for gay or gender-nonconforming men as well. These men certainly have as much right to avoid a dangerous situation as trans women do, no?
