    This document calls for students to mobilize for more accessible and degendered public bathrooms on campus. It argues that current bathroom policies have marginalized transgender, genderqueer, intersex, and disabled communities by denying them safe access and subjecting them to violence. The document advocates going beyond adding accessibility features to individual stalls by fundamentally reimagining bathrooms to accommodate all bodies and biological needs in a non-discriminatory way.

    BUILD A BETTER WORLD.

    EMPOWER GENESEO STUDENTS


    FOR ACCESSIBILITY ACTIVISM!

    Lets mobilize for visible, degendered, accessible public


    bathrooms.
    We have been taught to be ashamed of discussing our
    bodies and their needs. We have been made silent
    about bathrooms as sites of discursive, social, physical,
    and sexual violence against transgender, genderqueer,
    intersex, and disabled bodies.
    Our world has delegitimized bathroom activism as crude,
    but the signs denoting who can and cannot safely
    access toilets have erased these communities from the
    public sphere and diminished their life chances. Our
    world has used gender-segregated bathrooms for the
    surveillance and harassment of people of color and poor
    people. Our world has imposed social restrictions of
    gender, ability, race, and class on safe places to pee.
    But how to build a better world?
    We must go beyond handrails, wider stall doors, sharps
    containers, tampon/pad dispensers, and diaperchanging tables in all public bathrooms. We need to
    work with trans* and disabled communities to reimagine
    the normative body, not as unimpaired and cisgender,
    but as simply having biological needs.
