Why does Yale have All Gender Restrooms?

Yale University is dedicated to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for all students, faculty, staff, and community members, regardless of their gender identity or expression. Adding more gender-inclusive restrooms will make Yale safer and more accessible for transgender, genderqueer, and gender variant students.

According to the National LGBTQ Task Force, more than 50 percent of all transgender people have faced discrimination, harassment, arrest, or violence in gendered public restrooms. 

Because transgender, genderqueer, and gender variant people face bias in restrooms so often, some opt to not use public restrooms entirely, resulting in significant medical health concerns. Gender-inclusive restrooms provide a safe space where transgender individuals can use the restroom without fear of discrimination or harm. 

Yale is committed to making our campus safe and accessible for all students of all gender identities, and expanding gender-inclusive restrooms is integral to that commitment. 

Yale policy prohibits discrimination based on gender identity and gender expression, underscoring our dedication to equality and respect for all.
