None of the public debates or discussions about gender and crime or about access to public facilities includes me or others like me. Transgender men and women who visibly conform to the gender binary have been at the center, with more and more policies allowing them to use facilities that match their gender identity. But this still leaves genderqueer individuals without much assurance of safety or protection. To ensure that I can exist in public space without risk to my physical or emotional well-being, we need to promote gender-neutral or non-gendered spaces.
