Gender Inclusive Restrooms

All-gender public restrooms can be used by anyone. In the U.S., all-gender restroom ordinances require a city, state, or municipality to designate single-stall public restrooms as all-gender. These public restrooms are commonly referred as “gender-inclusive,” “gender-neutral,” “mixed-sex,” or “unisex.” In addition to benefiting the transgender community, these laws can also benefit others, including people with disabilities, older adults, and parents of small children (American Psychological Association, 2019).

What do these look like?

There are no open urinals or shorty doors. Individual stalls have full length locking doors and they are equipped for any gender. They share a communal hand-washing station.

Inclusive facilities assure equity for transgender and gender nonbinary individuals, as well as those who identify as cisgender. Many men find open urinals uncomfortable.

They are safe, sanitary & private All gender restrooms are also family friendly!
