Get rid of urinals, and have stalls with locking doors for anybody. Eliminate lines.

I feel like this has been happening for years in NYC's and other cities' restaurants/bars.

Just ones marked 'left' and 'right'.
The room is large to cater for wheelchairs, and a decent power activated lock on the doors.
Lots of grab handles.
Big red button that lights up a trouble light outside and automatically unlocks the door.

The 'left' and 'right'? Took me a while . . .
Depends on which way you lean when you wipe your backside!
And of course, wheelchair bound people may have a preference of which way they transfer out of, and back to their chair.

Well thought out really.

I love pointing out to them that they have them in their own house.

It starts with them getting their own bathrooms. Then what? Who knows?

Let the bigots use the bathroom among other bigots. A special bathroom, just for them. Problem solved.

We could even put a special sign on them so that they know those are their special bathrooms. A picture of Empty Greene's face? Maybe a swastika? A sign declaring it to be the Proud Boys and Girls room?

They’re a small sliver in terms of Feminists, and, mostly just stick to themselves. I think it’s only because of J.K. Rowling and her increasingly psychotic boomer takes on Twitter.

Most transphobes aren’t TERFs. They’re just reactionaries, or, clueless about what transgender people are and were told to hate them.
