TACOMA — As of this month, all single-occupancy public restrooms in Tacoma must be labeled with gender-neutral signage.
The News Tribune reports that includes restrooms in public schools, hotels, restaurants, bars, shops, theaters, stadiums and any other facility open to the public.
The signs will replace those that show the bathroom only can be used by a male or female. Multi-stall restrooms still can use male/female signs.
City officials say it’s intended to remove institutional and systematic barriers to accessing public spaces.
