| Flush Away Transphobia |  Many gender variant people will have had the stressful and intimidating experience of having been subject to hostile looks, abuse or even threats when using toilets in public spaces or work places. They may even experience the humiliation of being ejected from the toilet by strangers or being made to use the disabled toilet. This is despite the fact that there is no law in Scotland about which toilet people should use. Gender variant people using the toilet represent a threat to no one. They simply wish to use the toilet like anyone else. But this is further complicated by the general insistence of society on having bigendered toilets, even when there are only 2 cubicles!
