Abstract Transgender students, often defined as “others,” experience legal difficulties navigating within public spaces, specifically in terms of bathroom usage. The ultimate question is whether institutions of higher education (IHEs) are denying equal access to transgender students by creating unisex bathrooms alongside the binary system. The problems with these unisex locations harken back to what the court found in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954) that separate but equal does not ensure equality. This policy analysis explores (1) the campus climate for transgender students, (2) the evolution of the bathroom laws, (3) the suitability of unisex bathrooms alongside binary‐gendered bathrooms, and (4) transforming all bathrooms into undesignated locations.
