Following the rollback of protections for transgender individuals at the federal level, New York is considering bill A805, which mandates at least one multi-occupancy gender-neutral restroom in public buildings. This bill supports restroom access aligned with personal gender identity, addressing the needs of the tens of thousands of transgender and gender non-conforming individuals in New York. Important for equal access, this bill showcases New York's commitment to LGBTQ+ rights as residents face increasing challenges under current political climates.
The bill, A805, requires that public buildings ensure at least one multiple occupancy gender-neutral restroom is available, supporting individuals to use restrooms aligned with their gender.
Tens of thousands of New Yorkers identify as transgender or gender non-conforming, and the basic human right of access to a restroom can be fraught.
