Watch: TED Talk nails why we need neutral bathrooms — and the scary reality trans people face right now.

[Images: Fourteen gifs of writer Ivan E. Coyote, a non-binary transgender person, speaking in front of a crowd. The captions read: “There are a few things that all of us need. We all need air to breathe. We need clean water to drink. We need food to eat. We need shelter and love. You know. Love is great, too.  And we all need a safe place to pee. As a trans person who doesn’t fit neatly into the gender binary, if I could change the world tomorrow to make it easier for me to navigate…The very first thing i would do is blink and create single stall, gender neutral bathrooms in all public places. I know a little girl. She’s the daughter of a friend of mine. She’s a self-identified tomboy. I’m talking about cowboy boots and Caterpillar yellow toy trucks and bug jars, the whole nine yards. One time I asked her what her favorite color was. She told me, “Camouflage.” So that awesome little kid, she came home from school last October from her half day of preschool with soggy pants on. Because the other kids at school were harassing her when she tried to use the girls’ bathroom. And the teacher had already instructed her to stay out of the boys’ bathroom. And she had drank two glasses of that red juice at the Halloween party, and I mean, who can resist that red juice, right? It’s so good. And she couldn’t hold her pee any longer. Her and her classmates were four years old. They already felt empowered enough to police her use of the so-called public bathrooms. She was four years old. She had already been taught the brutal lesson that there was no bathroom door at preschool with a sign on it that welcomed people like her. She’d already learn that bathrooms were going to be a problem, and that problem started with her and was hers alone. So let’s just build some single stall, gender-neutral bathrooms with a little bench for getting changed into your gym clothes. We can’t change the world overnight for our children, but we can give them a safe and private place to escape that world, if only for just a minute. We can do it. So let’s just do it.“]
