Policies and Legislations for Transgender Restrooms in Schools: Based on the Current Situation of China

Abstract

In recent years, the protection of transgender rights has received more and more attention with the development of the times, but in China's education system, transgender rights are still an often overlooked content, and still lag behind in terms of legal framework and social acceptance. There is a lack of specific legislation for the needs of transgender people in educational settings, as well as the construction of facilities. For transgender students, the incomplete facilities of transgender toilets in Chinese schools have always been a problem for them. This paper explores the legislation of transgender toilet facilities for transgender students in Chinese schools, filling a critical gap in legal protection and social awareness. By highlighting the existing shortcomings in the Chinese legal system, this study highlights the urgent need for reforms to recognize and protect the rights of transgender students. In addition, the study advocates educational initiatives that promote understanding and acceptance of gender diversity. The significance of this study is to provide reference for policy changes to create a more inclusive educational environment.
