In recent years, the question of where transgenders 'should' go to the restroom has been more and more common place in the media.

This is a guide to find some basic information on this issue whether you're transgender, known someone who is, or just would like more information on the issue. The arguement that is currently taking place against and for transgender rights is also presented in this guide.
