I have a number of friends who are Trans. I went ahead a forwarded your question to them since their POV might be useful. Hope you don't mind.

In light of the controversy surrounding so-called "bathroom bills" in various states, I'm curious if any libraries currently have signage regarding the availability of gender neutral bathrooms, or are considering such signage?
My library has the usual multi-stall men's and women's restrooms, but we also have a single occupancy family restroom at the other end of the building in the children's area. I'm trying to decide if it would make sense to post something informing folks who would be more comfortable using a gender neutral single-occupancy restroom that one is available. I'm thinking it could also include information about the availability of a changing table in that bathroom, since the main restrooms do not have a changing area.
Any thoughts? Any particularly good wording you've used or seen?
