I'm personally really impacted by this but if you have the time & energy, it would be really valuable to record the location of any gender-neutral restrooms you find to add to the REFUGE Restrooms database. Particularly if they're in more rural areas, as the majority of the database's information seems to be coming from cities. Spread the word, help folks find safe restrooms.

Today at the gym a woman stopped me and my sweetie in the locker room to tell us we walked into the wrong one. 

She said something like "Even you? You're a? I'm having a Where's Waldo moment."

Was she trying to find that she couldn't quite see? My vagina?

omg okay i just found a site that you and ur followers might be interested in, its called 'safe2pee' and its for trans folks and disabled people and you type in an area and it will show you restaurants and little places with bathrooms you can use that are gender and disability friendly! I wanted to share with you because i figure if you post this itll get a lot more attention and it could be very useful!

ah peeps look at this great site that jade recc’d!! i’ve had a quick look around and WOW IS IT FAB!!! i was a bit sad bc at first it appears to be just america, but upon closer inspection it also includes cities in the uk and ireland, possibly others i haven’t had a chance to look through it all! (i am so excited bc aberdeen is there and that’s my city yo)  everyone should go and check it out and also add in any other bathrooms u know of!!!!!

Just thought I'd put this out there - safe2pee has a really nice setup where you can enter your area and they'll tell you the gender neutral bathrooms around you.

Admin note: Thank you! I think safe2pee is great and definitely helpful. I'm really hoping that I can get a system like theirs in soon where people can look up bathrooms by city, state, and country as more submissions come in. 

I'm using tumblr because I feel it's really helpful to have another tumblr user tell you where they've found bathrooms. It's more personal and personally I find it more accessible to just go on a tumblr blog than search online if you're on a smartphone and need to find a bathroom in a pinch.

Do you have gender neutral bathrooms in your town? Have you even thought about it?

There are 122 bathrooms on safe2pee.org (Now called http://www.refugerestrooms.org/) for Portland and only 55 for Seattle - dammit Seattle peeps, catch up! I've been adding the ones I know for my town,and the next one over. Help out and put ones in for yours? It's for trans safe bathrooms (i.e. gender neutral, family, single stall locking), but even knowing where regular bathroom is in a new city or one you are visiting is nice.

Safe To Pee?

For the past three days or so I have been planning a trip to Seattle.

I will have to walk after I get off the bus to my destination, there is a bus but I’m terrified I’ll miss the stop. (I did that in Portland and never DID get to the library).

In anticipation of this trip I started looking for gender neutral bathrooms, or family restrooms.

( For those of you who don’t know — and I didn’t before I had kids — a family restroom is a single room that contains a toilet, a sink and most importantly, a door that can be locked so that mom or dad can take care of their business without worrying that one of the youngsters might escape while the parent is otherwise occupied.)

In the two days I have been looking I have discovered that Safe2pee.org (Now called http://www.refugerestrooms.org/) is a great resource if you click the city over in “browse" instead of just entering it the search.

You can add restrooms to the database without having to log in, and anyone can edit them. In fact I added four I know of in my town.

It doesn’t count Seatac as in the Seattle area, also doesn’t have a to search by neighborhood.

Findfamilyrestrooms.com has ONE listing in Washington.

Sometimes people will mention a restroom on Yelp reviews.

Settle Center website has a wonderful map that marks handicapped restrooms, yet none of them say family on them. I called and the lady on the phone knew of one family restroom in center house….If I have time I will be investigating this while there. I called The Vera Project; gendered bathrooms, but downstairs. I won’t be drinking much while there.

Edit: A tweet today and further exploration on the internet says they do Indeed have gender neutral restrooms. I must have gotten a new person on the phone or something.

I wondered where this went, I didn’t mean to draft it…
