Florida State University moves toward gender-neutral bathrooms

Student legislators at Florida States University are working to make their campus more gender neutral, passing a resolution that removes the male and female labels from restrooms on campus in an effort to better accommodate transgender students.

Senate Resolution 74 designates two bathrooms on campus as gender neutral, allowing “any person regardless of their gender identity and/or gender expression” to use the facilities, the resolution states. The provision went before Florida State’s student Senate last week and was passed by an overwhelming majority, with 37 student senators approving the measure and one voting against it.

“The Student Body believes in the importance of protecting and providing inclusive facilities for all Florida State students regardless of their gender identity and/or their gender expression,” the resolution states.

It goes on to detail the university’s non-discrimination policy, which the bill’s sponsor, Leah Montenegro, cited as precedent for deeming the two restrooms — located in the student union — as gender neutral.

“We took the bathrooms in the SGA offices that are noted handicap and boy/girl and we changed them so it wouldn’t just be [male or female] to gender-neutral, so that includes people who are transgender and people who don’t identify their gender through biology but by their own individuality and expression,” Montenegro told fsunews.com.
