In parts of Australia, local councils have introduced trans bathroom bans. Australia's National Construction Code only specifies male and female facilities. \n\nGender diverse and trans people are forced to share toilets meant for people with a disability or compelled to use the wrong toilets. They face gender inequality that is made worse by other forms of discrimination. Meanwhile, women are still queueing, still doing caring work in bathrooms, still going without menstrual products and still using toilets as a sanctuary from male violence. \n\nSo how do we navigate this highly sensitive issue? We rewrote the regulations so nobody loses access and everyone gains.\n\nIn this episode, you'll learn:\nWhy toilets have become a flashpoint in the global culture war (and what North Carolina's bathroom bill cost the state in lost business)\nWhat an \"all gender\" facility actually looks like, and why it doesn't take anything away from women\nWhy public toilets are civic infrastructure, and what happens when we stop investing in them\n\nGuests:\nDr Sean Mulcahy, Research Fellow, Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society, La Trobe University\nProfessor Nicole Kalms, Department of Design and Founding Director of the XYX Lab, Monash University\nHosts:\nBecky Batagol, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, Monash University\nKate Seear, Professor, Deakin Law School, Deakin University\n\nTake action today:\nThe book is free!
