How To Share the Restroom with a Trans Person

Here are four easy steps that will allow you to get on with the rest of your life.

Few topics inspire more fear and loathing than arguments over how (and whether) to accommodate trans people in public and private restrooms.

Indeed, recent legislation about LGBT issues and bathroom policies in North Carolina has provoked an economic boycott of The Tar Heel State from performers and corporations such as former Beatle Ringo Starr, General Electric, and the porn site xHamster.

In less than half a minute and by following four simple steps, Reason TV offers a quick and foolproof way to share a restroom with a trans person.

Step 1: Use the facilities.
Step 2: Flush the toilet.
Step 3: Wash your hands.
Step 4: Leave.

Remember: Just because all of us—male, female, straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or trans—have an asshole doesn't mean you have to be one.
