How are gender-neutral bathrooms discriminatory? They seem to me to be the perfect solution.
Because requiring that trans people use them instead of the bathroom of the gender they identify as is still exclusionary and transphobic; it tells them that they do not belong to the gender they identify as and/or that they are a danger to cisgender individuals of that gender.
