Gender Neutral Bathrooms cover

One of the places where oppression happens is in bathrooms. Many Trans people face harassment in bathrooms that can lead to anything from deep discomfort to being arrested for being in the “wrong” bathroom or even physical violence and death.

By designating gender neutral and gender-specific bathrooms, you can acknowledge the needs of trans folks without excluding those who feel more comfortable in a gender-specific bathroom. This way, everyone is able to use the facilities in comfort. This tool includes signs you can use to transform existing gender-specific bathrooms to gender-neutral.
