Solution to public toilet issue; individual cubicles. I've noticed many universities have only one type of facility which incorporate cubicles only. Takes up more space because stand up toilets don't take up as much space as cubicles and cubicles use more more water even with low water use toilet bowls but it addresses the issue effectively because a cubicle guarantees total privacy. In any case, separate stand up toilets can still be made available; just put a label on the door which says something like "stand up facility" instead of "gents/male/men".

Interesting solution.

"They wanna be referred to as a boy or a girl - you do that". That makes it sound like trans* people can only be boys or girls and nothing inbetween or outside the binary. Plus you didn't mention non-binary people or issues at any point, which is a little disappointing because we need your and everyone elses support! But besides that, great talk :-)

Yes it’s kinda sad that he didn’t mention non-binary people. Y’all are as valid as the rest of us. I plan on being an activist for everyone on the gender spectrum. It’s 4 years later that I’m watching this. And people are becoming more aware.
