Addressing the Issue of Changing Room Signs

Addressing the Issue of Changing Room Signs

In recent years, there has been a growing movement towards creating more inclusive spaces for people of all genders and gender identities. One area where this movement has gained particular attention is in changing rooms, where traditional binary gender labels on signs have left many people feeling excluded and uncomfortable.

To address this issue, many businesses, schools, and public facilities are beginning to rethink the way they label their changing rooms.

The goal of changing room signage should be to create a space that is welcoming and inclusive for everyone. By rethinking the way we label these spaces and provide options for those who need them, we can help to create a more accepting and equitable world for all.

A couple of different options worth considering:- 

Offer private changing rooms: Providing private changing rooms for anyone who would like to use them can be a great option for people who do not feel comfortable using a communal space.

Have a designated family changing room: For parents or caregivers who need to assist children of a different gender, having a designated family changing room can be helpful. This can also be a great option for people with disabilities who require additional assistance.
