Gender-neutral toilet

A “gender-neutral bathroom” is when a restroom is shared by both genders since it doesn’t have a specific gender. In the article, “Who’s Afraid Of Gender-Neutral Bathrooms?”, Jeannie Suk Gerson talks about how gender neutral restrooms would help transgender be more comfortable when choosing which restroom to use. He goes on explaining that some people don't want gender neutral bathrooms because they want to have privacy for women. They don't want their lives in danger, it’s a way to keep the…

started when Rebecca (Randy) came into one’s life. They were born biologically a female yet identifies as gender fluid, thus having two names and having to use gender-neutral pronouns (they/them). Gender fluid is “referring to a gender identity that changes with time and/or situation as opposed to a fixed sex-role or gender queer expression.” (Winter, Claire R. 2010) In other words, being a gender fluid individual can be defined as a persona who can identify at any time to be male, female,…

the Philippines, as well as those bathroom stories shared to me by transwomen friends, gave me the urge to pen this reaction piece on how trans* and gender non-conforming people, through seemingly innocent, apolitical practices such as using the toilet, are 'queering' citizenship by asserting their right to access public spaces that validate their gender identity (including the uniqueness or possible lack of it). In this essay I attempt to re-examine transgender bathroom politics as a way of…

or boy. At least, to my knowledge. I am non-binary. Non-binary, also known as genderqueer, is a term under the transgender umbrella. This term means my gender identity is not exclusively “girl” or “boy”. Some more specific non-binary genders are agender and genderfluid.

There is many reasons why this is a huge issue, intersexuals being one of them. Some refer to…

In particular, ‘strong woman’ and ‘strong female character’ have undertones of the patriarchal division of gender roles. The idea of this empowering woman is not a…

From the Women’s Rights Movement, to today’s college campuses, women have been expressing their feelings towards the issue of sexism through writing. Sexism has left women feeling weak, unimportant, and worthless. However, writers have managed to use their craft to call out the sexist acts around them and bring awareness to the tough topic. Today, women continue to speak out against sexism, trying to finish the work of those that came before them. 1851, Sojourner Truth delivered a passionate…

Implementing effective approaches can help minimize discrimination during recruiting processes, leave of absences due to pregnancies or retirement and during business operations. Gender equality is important to implement in the workplace. Rewarding and providing opportunities to those regardless of their sex allows individuals to feel valued.
