A project to convert restrooms to gender neutral facilities is underway at the University of California, Davis.
By month’s end, 120 of it’s single-stall bathrooms will be unisex.
It’s hard enough being a college student, worrying about grade, social life, and what to do after graduation.
Aiden Leong has even more on her plate.
"For me, I identify myself as she/her, he/him," Leong said.
Leong said changes at U.C. Davis could not come at a better time.
By March, 10 percent of the restrooms will have gender-neutral signs and locks for individual use.
"We definitely feel that somebody staring at two restrooms and deciding, ‘Do I go into this one or do I go into that one,’ isn’t something they should have to be confronted with," Grant Nejedlo, of U.C. Davis facilities, said.
Leong has dealt with that before.
"There’s always this sense of danger, like, ‘Oh what are you doing here? Are you trying to be a pervert of whatever,’ but really I just want to go to the restroom," Leong said.
Leong’s been questioned about being in specific restrooms.
"And at one point, they’ll ask me, ‘Are you sure?’ And I felt very uncomfortable, very unsafe," Leong said. "So, I got out of there like fast. So I would hate for future generations to have to go through that."
"I think when we look back at our work on this project, we’re gonna feel really good that we were so forward-thinking and removing what’s truly an unnecessary division between male and female in these single-stall spaces," Nejedlo said.
Although many students support the idea, some are not ready to use it themselves.
"If it’s there for the people feel like it’s safer for them to use those bathrooms, then I guess that’s good," said student Emily Trang. "I wouldn’t use them, no."
The school has received feedback from students, and they are actually requesting more of the gender-inclusive restrooms.
