Afternoon Bulletin: Bathroom Equality for Transgender New Yorkers

By Parker Richards • 03/07/16

Mayor Bill de Blasio signed an executive order today mandating open bathroom access for transgender individuals

Mayor Bill de Blasio signed an executive order today mandating open bathroom access for transgender individuals. The new order will make it illegal to ask people for identification or to prove their gender identity or sex as they enter a public bathroom. All public buildings in New York—including schools, city offices and recreation centers—will now let New Yorkers use the bathroom for the gender they identify with. While other cities nationwide have attempted to bar transgender individuals from using bathrooms of their choosing, Mr. de Blasio said the city’s measure will strike back against hate and promote tolerance in New York.

NYC enacts anti-discrimination rules for city facilities

By MICHAEL BALSAMO

NEW YORK (AP) - A regulation that ensures people visiting New York City facilities can use restrooms or locker rooms aligned with their gender identity was enacted Monday.

Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, signed an executive order on Monday that guarantees people access to single-sex facilities consistent with their gender identity at city facilities, including offices, pools and recreation centers, without the need to show identification or any other proof of gender. The move comes amid a continuing national debate over anti-discrimination laws.

"Access to bathrooms and other single-sex facilities is a fundamental human right that should not be restricted or denied to any individual," de Blasio said. "Every New Yorker should feel safe in our city - and this starts with our city's buildings."

"We have very clear New York values and we're going to stand up for them," said de Blasio, in a clear rebuttal to Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz's recent criticism of the city's liberal politics. "Here, we respect the rights of all."

The order says the regulations apply to all city-owned buildings, including city offices, public parks, playgrounds, pools, recreation centers and certain museums. It doesn't require agencies to build new single-stall restroom or locker room facilities, but instead enforces that all individuals, including those who are transgender or gender non-conforming, are free to use single-sex facilities consistent with their gender identity, city officials said.

The order does not apply to New York City's public schools because there already is a policy that students must be allowed to use locker rooms or restrooms consistent with their gender identity. A bill currently pending before the city council would require publicly available, single-occupancy restrooms in both public and private buildings to be designated as gender-neutral.

An estimated 25,000 transgender or gender non-conforming people live in New York City, officials said. De Blasio's executive order immediately went into effect.

"This city is the birthplace of the nation's LGBT movement," the mayor said at a news conference in Chelsea, the Manhattan neighborhood often considered at the heart of New York's gay community. "That work doesn't have an end point."

Nearly all of the nation's 20 largest cities, including New York City, have local or state nondiscrimination laws that allow transgender people to use whatever bathroom they identify with, though a debate has raged around the topic nationwide.

Houston voters defeated an ordinance in the fall that would have established nondiscrimination protections for gay and transgender people. Last week, South Dakota's governor vetoed a bill that would have made the state the first in the U.S. to approve a law requiring transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their sex at birth.

Associated Press writer Jonathan Lemire contributed to this report.

I think he is insane!
I was so tempted to include all the articles about the crime spree, (especially in Queens), & all the attacks happening in bathrooms in schools , in New York City.

But that would be offtopic



grumble

Having traveled in Europe I assure you that unisex bathrooms are not unusual and everyone has privacy as space is made for each not to be in eyesight of another. its more a perceptual thing in seeing others nearby which with experience becomes insignificant. In China I was using the urinal when a female cleaning lady came and and mopped the floor and simply ignored the men who were facing a wall and its not a big deal each did his or her assigned duty inside much to the relief of all....

I'm hoping that's one bit of American legislature which will bypass our "esteemed" president!!!!

I can't BEGIN to imagine what impact it will have in our schools where rape in the toilets is already a problem of note.

A recent scientific study (taken by my sister and I) found that at least thirty feet of toilet paper was used by women to build a "hovercraft" to navigate a porta-can or dirty public toilet.

Besides all the perv issues & people, gay & straight that will be having sex in all these multi sex spots.

There are many..religious groups /communities.
Very large Hasidic Jew & Orthodox Jewish population. And a big variety of Christians.. Not going to be happy!

And what about American Muslims? And the new influx? This will be hell!
Not only for women & children. But migrants that may never have seen open gay sexuality or any type of Tranny.
