discriminatory acts against transgendered people, it would be proactive for the responsibility of
providing a third gender option in the design of public restrooms. Due to the harassment, assault,
or even arrest that occur as a result of the third-gender persons using restrooms that do not
correspond to their gender identity or their birth sex, many in the LGBTQ community are calling
for the provision of third gender option restroom in the public place.
Once the people see our research output, they can see a sign that represent the LGBTQ
community. They can see a toilet for those lesbian or transgender people, also a toilet for gays.
This restroom will be located at Barangay Hall of the Brgy. Bocohan Lucena City, for the third-
gender.
