      Gender-Neutral Restrooms
The reason why I chose this article is because it will tie in with what we will be talking about today. I also chose this because I wanted to know more about what people where doing to makes these changes.  West Chester are trying to makes changes by changes the rest rooms  on the first floor in the dorms gender-neutral  The article talks about how men and women who are transgender are afraid to use the bathrooms in a public places because they do not want to be harassed, beaten or arrested. It talks about how transgender people get arrested because they do not know which bathroom to use and if they use the bathroom for the identity they were born they will be arrested.  This article also talks about how we need to understand the terminology associated with transgender issues and access.  It also state that heterosexually people take using the bathroom for granted.  It also talks about the Trans-friendly colleges how colleges all over are changes dorms and bathrooms to gender-neutral.
