What is exciting about putting up new restroom signs converting our fellowship hall men's and women's bathrooms into "anyone" bathrooms?
At our June 6 panel on understanding the challenges faced by transgendered people, we learned that restrooms are a major challenge. Does a transperson use a men's or women's room? Does it depend on where the person is on the transition journey? Is it safe? How will people respond?
By acclamation, the CUCC folks present requested that our property ministry change these two one-person bathrooms from gender-specific to gender-welcoming. And thanks to Lena, our new signs are already in place.
