Safe access to public restrooms is an essential need for participation in civic life, in the workplace, in educational settings, and other public spaces. This is no different for transgender people. However, access to public restrooms according to gender identity has sparked controversy to the extent that transgender people face embarrassment and even expulsion from these spaces. The lack of access of the transgender population to public restrooms has a negative impact on the physical and mental health of this population. Thus, this article aims to address the main consequences that the ban on the use of bathrooms has for the transgender population, specifically the access of transgender women to the women's restroom. We covered some legal aspects of "bathroom laws" and the main arguments in this discussion. We understand that the prohibition of access to the restroom constitutes a form of gender violence and discrimination, as we conclude that the arguments that express concerns about safety are not supported.
安全使用公共卫生间是参与公民生活、工作场所、教育环境及其他公共场所活动的一项基本需求。对跨性别者来说亦是如此。然而，根据性别认同使用公共卫生间引发了争议，以至于跨性别者在这些场所面临尴尬，甚至被驱逐。跨性别群体无法使用公共卫生间对该群体的身心健康产生了负面影响。因此，本文旨在探讨禁止使用卫生间给跨性别群体带来的主要后果，特别是跨性别女性使用女卫生间的问题。我们涵盖了“卫生间法律”的一些法律方面以及此次讨论中的主要论点。我们认为，禁止使用卫生间构成了一种性别暴力和歧视形式，因为我们得出结论，那些表达对安全担忧的论点是没有依据的。
