There are only two genders, male and female, there is no need to have another comfort room. “Even non-transgenders should be protected. What if someone enters the comfort room for girls who simply pretend to be transgender? They are just thinking about their well-being. It didn't happen no discrimination. The concierge only cares about the well-being of women.”While those in favor are willing to make a change. Just like Vice Ganda who asked the government to create gender-neutral public toilets following an incident in where transgender woman Gretchen Diez was banned from using the women's restroom at Farmers Plaza in Cubao, Quezon City. The It's Showtime host made the suggestion on Friday, August 16 during the Tawag ng Tanghalan segment of the noontime show. According to Vice, he was initially not in favor of creating a separate bathroom for the LGBTQ+ community, until the incident involving Gretchen occurred. Vice said: “Before, when people asked me if gay people, transgender people, the LGBTQ community should have a separate bathroom from men and women, I would have said no. But since it became an issue, I realized that maybe the LGBTQ+ community should have a separate bathroom. Because if we use the men's bathroom, men feel uncomfortable. If men aren't comfortable, neither are we. And when a gay person or trans woman uses the women's bathroom, women feel uncomfortable. The LGBT community doesn't feel comfortable when others feel uncomfortable. So, we comply, we don't go to the bathroom at all. So if no one feels comfortable, let's not force it. Why don't you just make us our own bathroom, for all LGBT people, so everyone has a safe space? I ask the government to create a safe place for everyone. If they don't accept us, give us our public bathroom. We just want to pee and poop. That's all." Other artists have reacted to the issue of discrimination like Bianca Gonzalez and Pia Wurtzbach. Diez finds friends with artists like Ice Seguerra, Heart Evangelista, KaladKaren, Frankie Pangilinan; and even political senator Risa Hontiveros and first district representative from Bataan Geraldine Roman, also a trans woman. Representative Roman also decided to investigate Diez's fate in the House. Calls to create a separate bathroom for the LGBTQ+ community are not a novelty, but they are also a point of disagreement, especially for advocates who push for acceptance and not simple tolerance. Conclusion Some cities and private companies already have gender-neutral bathrooms in their respective areas – but this has yet to be institutionalized in the Philippines, 15(1), 1-14.
