Ensure Bathrooms are Welcome for All
All-Gender washrooms are toilet facilities
that can be used by anyone.
Just like the bathroom in your own house!
Why do we need them?
To provide accessibility for support workers and caregivers assisting an individual of another gender.
As a safe and welcoming space for Transgender & Non-binary people.
For parents & guardians who need to accompany a child of another gender to the washroom.
All-gender washrooms are safe spaces where anyone, regardless of gender identity or presentation, can use the toilet, wash their hands and use the mirror. These spaces decrease anxiety and fear for trans and gender diverse people. These facilities reduce the chance of physical and verbal harassment or assault — a real and ongoing risk in gender segregated spaces.
Everyone has a right to choose the washroom that is appropriate for them and inclusive signage is an important part of making our healthcare environments safe, accessible and welcoming.
TransHealthTO has designed these universal washroom signs to help transform your workplace into a welcoming environment. We recognize that you may not have the capacity to turn all washrooms into all-gender spaces, so we have also included signs to be used on gender specific doors to better embrace this communities’ needs and promote inclusivity.
