The reading ” Transgender people And Bathroom Access” really caught my attention because I feel like this has been a debate that has been going on for a while. I personally know a person who dealt with this problem throughout high school. People in school would question this person about what exactly did they identify as, and I know now when I look back I wonder what was going through this person’s head, I would like to know more about this topic, seeing different people’s views or stories from transgender who experience any harassment based on this. It would be an interesting topic to talk about. Most people seem to have a problem when it comes to transgender using a public bathroom, Transgenders still have to deal with being rejected and harassed. I feel like people need to be more aware of what’s going on in society and talk about these problems. Transgender people are not a treat so for them to be treated like it It’s wrong, to prevent those privileges like using a public bathroom, I don’t agree that it’s okay. This also makes a big effect on transgender people because they start to feel unwanted by their own society, if we are all equal then why is that transgenders have to be considered into private bathrooms.

Hello Jarlyne,
I can relate to a similar situation while at work. One day, when a colleague and I went for lunch at a nice Diner at Fulton St. downtown area, in which she is transgender and we went to the bathroom together since it was a bathroom that ocupied 5 people. I believe that the peron in the bathroom complained about a transgender being in the bathroom with women that felt uncomfortable, and quickly was removed by manager. She did not say nothing about it knowing we were still at work and only out for lunch, but I could tell it bothered her and we never went there again. I have a big mouth and tend to not let people get away with stupidity, but she implored me not to say nothing and so i didn’t. Since then i feel compelled to speak for those who wont correct ignorance. How else will they learn respect. Thank you for your post. It is a interesting issue that must addressed.
