In New York, from Jan.1 next year, all single-occupant restrooms will become gender neutral. The reason for this is that the council has approved the ordinance that prohibits “men” and “women” signs on single-occupant restrooms. It will apply to bars, restaurants and many other buildings throughout the city. One of the member of the municipal assembly said that this is the method of making desirable environment for transgender people. But some people point out that this is just a further example of troublesome regulation.
I agree to this rule because it is kind for transgender people. They have had problems that which restroom they should use. And non-transgender people have not understood them. I believe that this ordinance will change such circumstances, and transgender people will be able to live a better life. In addition, it doesn’t cost so much. I think non-transgender people will have no disadvantage by carrying out this regulation. I hope that everyone understand sexual minorities much more with this opportunity.
