Where the F do gendered bathrooms come from? To literally no one’s surprise, public bathrooms only became available to people who are not cis men a couple hundred years ago. Because guess what? If you can't pee in public, you can't BE in public for very long. The lack of public restrooms for women in particular has been a central and often-overlooked foundation of the patriarchy, which demands that women stay at home. But people (read: conservatives) have also used the public restroom to attack gay men, Black people, and more recently, trans people. But bathroom policing isn't about biological difference or the threat of sexual violence. It's about the privileged few deciding who does and doesn't get to exist in public.
