Bathrooms, Bullies, and Bystanders: Supporting Transgender Survivors
Restrictive legislation is limiting the basic right of trans/non-binary individuals to use public bathrooms. Youth, adults, politicians, parents, teachers, people of faith, (even some victim service providers) are too often engaging in anti-trans bullying and assault. What can agencies do to both support trans communities and counter myths about sexual assault linkages to basic human rights.
Objectives
- List three statistics about transgender or non-binary people and restrooms you didn’t know before the workshop.
- Identify at least one health risk to transgender individuals who are living in a culture where the basic right to bathroom access is being restricted or denied.
- Name two bystander intervention strategies you can share with colleagues.
