Ivan Coyote: Why we need gender-neutral bathrooms

In this TedTalk, Ivan Coyote, who is a transexual person, explain us all about he's ordinary problems of being a transexual person i a transphobic society.

Starting from a small problem which is where to pee in public bathrooms, because they might not be identified as man or woman, Ivan arrives to a worse problem, which is the fact that the society don't accept people like him, starting from a young age in the school, he explains a true history from a girl who feels like a boy, and she is not allowed to pee in the place where he is identified and where this little girl should be peeing for her feels.

The problem is worse, they have problems in Gyms, Swimming pools... In every place where they classificate people in genders they have huge problems.

Ivan ask people to think about it, they need a solution to this people and for the future and the iguality in the society of transexual people, he think that we can't change a transphobic society from one day to another, but we must start with small things like making public bathrooms gender-neutral to prevent any kind of discrimination.

I really recomend this TedTalk which made me think a lot and i think everyone should get concience about the discrimination this people are living with, to watch this TedTalk follow this link:
