Activists call for gender-friendly toilets across cities

Creating gender-inclusive restrooms in existing facilities is a solution, one of them says.

Abena Katwal avoided toilets in her high school as using them would subject her to discomfort from her peers. Katwal is a transgender woman. All the toilets in her school were labelled either ‘Male’ or ‘Female’ and she didn’t feel comfortable using either of them as that would bring her unwanted scrutiny.
