On Accessible Toilets

The absence of accessible toilets is a subtle yet potent tool of social control that restricts the inclusion of disabled individuals and mirrors historical tactics used to marginalize certain groups. Similar to how women were once kept from certain spaces by denying them restroom access, the lack of accessible toilets limits the participation of disabled individuals in public life, enforcing inequality. Furthermore, this issue extends to homeless individuals who lack restroom facilities, deepening their invisibility and perpetuating their hardships. Ultimately, the dearth of accessible toilets undermines societal inclusivity and hinders the potential contributions of diverse individuals, emphasizing the significance of universal accessibility for a fair and compassionate society.

Replying to @claudiaalicklove a lack of accessible toilets as a way to control public space and make it hostile to marginalized populations. Bathrooms are no longer segregated by race, but they are still segregated by gender and ability. bbathroomsaaccessibilityd#disabilityjustice
