Webcast on transgender bathrooms scheduled

Webcast includes guidance on transgender student restrooms and locker rooms, occupant complaints about transgender employees in bathrooms, and drafting – and implementing – written policies ensuring that all individuals, including transgender individuals, have prompt access to appropriate sanitary facilities


Bathroom access for transgender individuals has become a very hot issue for discussion and litigation. Many transgender individuals – people whose internal sense of their gender is different from the sex they were assigned at birth – are now suing their employer, school, or landlord so that they can use the bathroom that corresponds to their gender identity.

Complicating this issue, recent directives issued by federal agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration make clear that, in order to comply with federal law, employers cannot condition the right to use a bathroom consistent with one's gender identity by requiring transgender individuals to provide proof of surgery or some other medical procedure or by restricting a transgender individual to a single – occupant private bathroom.

This webcast provides you with guidance on transgender student restrooms and locker rooms, occupant complaints about transgender employees in bathrooms, and drafting – and implementing – written policies ensuring that all individuals, including transgender individuals, have prompt access to appropriate sanitary facilities.

Cost is $149 and the subject matter expert is Joe Paranac, who addressed the topic on FacilitiesNet in December. You can see the webcast details here
