After reading Trans People Bathroom Access July 2016, spoke about how opening up bathrooms to transgender people shouldn’t get in the way of anyone, that there’s no reason to not have these people choose they identify or feel most comfortable in.
I was reminded, as someone who is Non-binary, I struggle to decide which bathroom to use but also for my safety I go to the women’s bathroom, especially because I look more feminine even though I would prefer to be perceived as a guy. Also in this scary world, I happen to trust women more than men. I remember in high school that they didn’t let people use bathrooms to their gender identity, and many restrooms in the school were kept locked when students felt they should at least open one up to be at least be a gender-neutral bathroom, instead of many would go to the nurse for the gender-neutral bathroom which sometimes the nurse wouldn’t allow depending on the nurse who’s there that day.
I also know many transgender people still struggle to be able to use the bathroom, from laws or their city/town/area is unsafe, or they don’t entirely “pass” as their gender identity which people who are against them would catch on sooner, which then transphobic people will do their best to exclude them, or possible harassment or troubles.
