"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?
