12 MYTHS/MISCONCEPTIONS #1: Gender inclusive bathrooms are unsafe for women and children #2: Gender inclusive bathrooms are a special privilege for transgender or gender nonconforming people. Spaces should not be required to go out of their way or spend money on creating a space for such a small population

13 MYTHS/MISCONCEPTIONS #3: If only gender segregated bathroom options exist, which bathroom should we let transgender people use? What if they do not present in a gender normative way? #4: Men are messier and stinkier than women, so women shouldn’t be forced to share a bathroom with them

14 MYTHS/MISCONCEPTIONS #5: Gender inclusive bathrooms will make cisgender people (non-transgender people) uncomfortable. Also, sharing the bathroom with the “opposite” sex will be embarrassing. #6: I understand that gender inclusive bathrooms increase safety and health of trans and gender nonconforming people, but we just don’t have the money or space to build more bathrooms. I also don’t have the power to change the bathrooms we have into gender neutral options.
