Gender-inclusive restrooms ensure that individuals of all gender identities and expressions can access comfortable and secure restroom facilities. Here are more reasons why gender-inclusive restrooms are necessary:
Offers a secure and comfortable environment, often with privacy-enhancing features.
Enables parents, guardians, and attendants to assist individuals of a different gender, prioritizing privacy and ease.
Empowers individuals to choose the facility that aligns with their gender identity, needs, and preferences.
Symbols for the amenities in each restroom.
Symbols for restroom types on navigation signage.
Restroom facilities that are available to anyone, regardless of gender identity or expression.
Transgender and non-binary individuals, people across the gender spectrum, parents or guardians of children of a different gender, and people with disabilities who might need an assistant of another gender to accompany them to the restroom.

No, all are welcome to use the restroom with which they are most comfortable. This includes gender-exclusive restrooms (restrooms designated as men’s and women’s), which will continue to be available and accessible in all buildings, and single-occupancy/family restrooms.
Gender-inclusive restrooms at Fort Lewis College do not list a gender associated with the restroom, such as “men’s” or “women’s,” and have signage that indicates the facilities available in the restroom (urinals, stalls, etc.). Gender-exclusive restrooms will indicate the gender associated with them (men’s or women’s). See signage and wayfinding guide above.
The digital directories located in each building will be updated to include the location of available restrooms (gender-inclusive and gender-exclusive). List of gender-inclusive restrooms is included above.
