Gender Neutral Norms:

If you use an all-gender restroom, avoid judging or questioning others based on their gender. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable and welcome without being stared at, questioned, or made to feel out of place.

What if I do not want to use the All Gender restroom?

If you're uncomfortable using an all-gender restroom, feel free to use any other available restroom that aligns with your gender identity.
