Women legislators fight for 'potty parity'

4. It doesn't have to be so hard

I recently visited the LIGO Hanford site's LExC (LIGO Experience Center). I'm sure they never know much in advance when an all male group, all female group, or group including non-binary individuals will make the trek to their remote location.

Their restroom setup has fully-enclosed toilet stalls (essentially, small rooms) with door locks and a bank of sinks (with mirrors). It was a significantly better experience than visiting a porta-potty, each stall had a garbage bin, and sanitary supplies were available for those who need them. With "first come, first served," this provides as much gender parity for restroom access as I can imagine.

The science they do there -- and the technology they've had to create to enable it -- are fascinating, and well worth the time to visit (if it's near your route). It's kid-friendly, too, and admission is free (for now, at least).
