I heard awhile back about this app. It's supposed to be a guide where trans people can find "safe" restroom facilities when in a given location. Unfortunately, this app seems to have been discontinued. Does anybody know where I can find this or something like it?
I always thought that this would be a logical solution for the restroom question. Trans people would know where they could use a restroom safely. Additionally, people who didn't wish to mix with trans people in this situation could be aware in advance of the restroom policy of a given business. An example: I have four good friends who are "out" lesbian couples. We often go out to lesbian-freindly bars when I'm in guy mode. When I have to go, I know that there will be butch women in the "men's" room because they're more comfortable in there. It doesn't bother me in the least. When in drag, I use the "ladies" room, and nobody cares. It would be great for everybody, gay, straight, and/or trans, to have this information before running the restroom gauntlet.
As a side benefit, an app like this would be helpful for parents/grandparents or babysitters. I have two (now grown) daughters. WhenI was out in public with them when they were children, I frequently had to look for a restroom facility where I could take them and feel that they were safe. Usually, this involved a "single-seat" restroom with a lock on the entrance door. I didn't want to take them into a restroom that other men might be using at the time, but I didn't feel comfortable sending them into the women's room by themselves when they were very young. It would have been great to have a smart phone app with this information.
If anybody can tell me where this, or a similar, smart phone app is available, I'd be eternally grateful!
