**Advocates for Trans Equality**
Transgender people have long been using public restrooms just like everyone else—without incident. In fact, most people have shared a public bathroom with a trans person, often without even realizing it. It is simply common sense for trans individuals to use the bathroom that best matches their gender identity.
Everyone deserves to take care of their bodily needs in safety and privacy. Access to public restrooms is a basic right protected by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and transgender people deserve—and need—equal access to facilities in order to safely exist and fully participate in public life.
Sadly, anti-trans extremists are spreading fear and misinformation about trans people, attacking our fundamental right to simply use the restroom. Laws in dozens of states now target the trans community’s ability to use bathrooms, causing many transgender individuals to feel nervous about meeting basic needs for fear of being targeted, harassed, or assaulted.
