I am so tired of this crap! What about my rights? I am so damn tired of hearing about the suffering of groups ABand C especially from the gay commmunity! What about the fact that I DON'T want to only have gender nuetral bathrooms? What about the safety of me and my kids? I don't want to stop at a rest area or go to a bathroom for which a man could be in! I am a woman and when I pull down my pants to use the restroom I want to know that the person sitting in the stall next to me is a woman!

Clearly you missed the point of the film's message, (or maybe did not make it to the end of the film) and your ignorant comment clarifies the continued need for this video and the need to advocate for Family Accessible restrooms. Your rights would be better protected and your restrooms cleaner and safer if they were family friendly. Good luck with your world!

I'm not trans or gay or anything, but I do belive gender neutral bathrooms are absolutely essential to reduce the sexuality of today's society, especially in matters that deal with nature. It's more than just making transvestites feel comfortable, more important, is the fact that people should be comfortable with who they are. Remember, we all are human, and we all need to urinate or have a bowel movement.

When I had long hair, I was told I should use the women's room. I was standing at the urinal peeing at the time. Its amazing how people see what they choose to see.

i didnt realize how much of an issue this was. i dont like really like family bathrooms but i know it made sense for if you are a single mom with a little boy or a single dad with a little girl, or something like that. but it never crossed my mind that it would be helpful to transgender people. i still rather go in an all womens bathroom though..
