It’s a chance to be decent. It’s a chance to be human.

Picture yourself in a public restroom. You’re in a stall, doing your business. The next stall opens up, a stranger comes in to do their business.

Wait. Who’s in there? Do you know? Do you even care? I know that my only goal is to get in and out of that stinky, dirty room as fast as possible. I just want to go back to what I was doing in the freshly-scented outside world.

That’s exactly what transgender people want.

This recently conjured-up fear of creepy men brazenly following little girls into the restroom is not the same as transgender people choosing the restroom that’s appropriate to their gender identity. Those horrid political ads are offensive to us. Their only aim is to create a climate of fear and even worse, they are working.

Let’s get real.

Sure, I accompany our 8-yr old son to public restrooms, always. Partly because I want him to be safe and mostly because I don’t want him dropping his pants onto the pee-riddled restroom floor (yeah, that’s a thing). That has nothing to do with the typical bathroom user who just wants to mind their own business. Just like trans people want to do.

The point is that combining child molesters, violent idiots, upskirt-photo-takers and trans people into one category is wrong. No doubt you have peed in the same bathroom as both and never knew it. The difference being, trans people are not a threat to society.

Today I had to find the restroom at the Omni hotel in downtown Los Angeles. I found this:

I went into a stall and used it. I washed my hands. I left. End of story. Zero drama.

YOUR CHANCE TO BE SHOW THAT YOU’RE A HUMAN… WHO SUPPORTS HUMANS.

In an effort to put an end to the false bathroom drama and show our support for transgender people, we created this image:
