ABSTRACT
Peeing in Peace, A Resource Guide for Transgender Activists and Allies, provides basic information about how someone (or some group of someones) can protect themselves with common sense steps that can be taken to change the way in which an employer, school administrator, business owner, or government official handles bathroom access issues. It also provides basic tools one can use to affect how someone sees the issue of bathroom access and safety by questioning who should be able to access which bathroom and why the people divide most public bathrooms into Men's and Women's facilities in the first place. The Transgender Law Center receives numerous complaints each year from community members around the state about bathroom related harassment and discrimination. Police officers and security guards frequently detain, question and, in very rare cases, arrest transgender people who they believe to be in the "wrong" bathroom. "Gender-neutral" bathrooms provide a safe facility for transgender people.
