Should there be transgender-only restrooms in public spaces?

Marcel Breaux

"Yes, it would relieve a lot of awkward-ness. People who identify as transgender will be more comfortable. It’s one less thing they have to deal with. I’m all for it."


Samantha Dubin

"No. People should mind their own business. It’s not their concern if a transgender person is next to them in a restroom. They should just focus on the task at hand, which is to simply use the restroom facilities."

"No, that’s discrimina-tory. It would be a throwback to the colored-only restrooms of the 1950s. And it would be too costly to build all those new restrooms. I just wish everyone would be more tolerant and this wouldn’t be an issue."


Cory Reyman
sales manager | Queen Village
"Yes, as a transitional, stop-gap measure, it’s appropriate. Ideally, transgender-only rest-rooms will be unnecessary as transgen-der people become more accepted in society. There will just be male restrooms and female restrooms. I’m sympathetic to what LGBT people go through."
