Public Health Issue
For Transgender, Non-Binary, and Gender Expansive (TNBGE) people using public restrooms can be a source of stress and anxiety because of very real psychological and physical safety concerns. People whose appearance does not conform to what is commonly expected for men or women experience stares, questions, comments, verbal harassment, and physical violence when they try to use public restrooms. Due to these possibilities,TNBGE people sometimes avoid using public bathrooms altogether, which has the potential for health complications, such as dehydration, urinary tract infections, kidney infections, and other kidney problems.
As part of our efforts to provide a safer and more inclusive campus, the GSC provides recommendations and consulting related to all-gender bathrooms.
