My caregiver and I ran into a stall with bars missing and too small to transfer. We had been told there is more room in the women's restroom, can we use it? On another time there was no wheel chair stall in men's but women's full accessible then what?
You could approach management and they could make sure the bathroom is not occupied.
Then management could guard the entrance so no women could enter, then it isn’t a problem.This is a temporary solution.
Don’t hesitate to tell management you would very much appreciate the men’s room to be furnished with the necessary equipment to suit your needs.
NOT imposing on others rights to modesty and privacy.
Personally I don't think that it is okay for 2 grown men to go into a women's restroom. Your rights do not supercede my rights and I would definitely call the police on a man that ended up in the women's restroom with a child.
NO! it is NOT okay for you to just use the women's restroom, PERIOD.
Obviously asking an employee to clear the bathroom and stand guard changes things but, you ask like you plan on just helping yourself and that is unacceptable.
Once home, I would write to the company and tell them that if regulations/the ADA require them to provide wheelchair accessible restroom facilities, then those facilities have to be accessible to wheelchair users of any gender identity.
If I was the caregiver (female) & no unisex accessible bathroom was provided, I would enter the ladies & as a courtesy, announce I had a male friend/client that needed the accessible toilet.
If I was a male caregiver, I might ask a female staff member to enter first & stand watch to explain.
Is this a cafe or other place with staff?
Women have been used to people identifying as trans for five years now in the restroom. I'm not here to bag on them as a class or hurt their feelings, but factually a lot of them look quite male and that's just not a question anyone asks about it.
