BC Ferries says it will be making all 300 of its single-stall washrooms gender neutral over the next fiscal year.
The transportation company made the announcement on Tuesday (May 14), saying the change will impact public and employee single-use bathrooms on ships and at shore facilities.
No multi-stall washrooms will be becoming gender neutral.
BC Ferries says it is also committed to introducing free menstrual products into all 300 of the washrooms as they are converted, to match supplies already available in women’s multi-stall bathrooms.
The company says it’s further hoping to increase accessibility by installing braille washroom signs that adhere to Canadian guidelines. They are expected to be fully implemented by spring 2025.
There isn’t a reason for a single-stall washroom not to be neutral, even if you hate trans people.
Would you rather be forced to wait to use a bathroom even when there are some available?
Is your single-occupant bathroom at home divided by gender?I can’t think of a less sexy place than a bathroom.
Let’s go! I love this progressive province!
