“SEPARATES COMFORT ROOM FOR THE LGBTQ+”
Many of the public battles for transgender students have
centered on the bathrooms they want to use. Bathrooms are
often where transgender students are improperly called the
wrong gender or bullied.
I cannot recall an instance where trans women had harassed,
attacked, or assaulted women and children in ladies' public
toilets in the Philippines. Members of the LGBTQ+
community have varying opinions on the solution to the
bathroom problem.
Many queer people are against the creation of a third
bathroom because it encourages segregation. Therefore, I am
100% agree and acknowledge that we all share the moral
responsibility of allowing transgender people to use the public
toilet that matches their gender identity, because this is part of
protecting them from violence.
