The Restroom Equity Act prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in employment, housing, credit, education, jury service, transportation services, federally-funded programs (including health care), and businesses that serve the public. The act addresses to increase gender parity by ensuring that the number of toilets in the women’s restrooms equals or exceeds the number of toilets (including urinals) in men’s restrooms within a public space.  In fact, women and girls need more time in washrooms for both physiological and cultural reasons. The act affects women positively because they often have small children, maybe breastfeeding, have feminine hygiene needs, and usually have to wait in a long line.
