Campaign
Look for our new posters in the bathrooms and on bulletin boards in the hallways!
Check out the original Free to Pee @ GBC campaign posters! These went up around three George Brown campuses in January 2013.
-
- “Just Because You Fit Doesn’t Mean I Do.”
-
- “Neither is Me… But I Still Gotta Pee!”
-
- “I Know Who I Am. Assume I Belong.”
-
- “Don’t Tell Me Who I Am. I Am a Woman.”
-
- “Don’t Tell Me Who I Am. I Am a Man.”
The campaign also included postcards, for GBC students to take away the message of washroom safety at their school. The postcards can be found below:

The text reads: Safe bathroom access is not a luxury or a special right. Without safe access to public bathrooms, trans & genderqueer people and people who don’t fit gender stereotypes are denied full participation in public life. For many of us, finding a safe place to use the bathroom is a daily struggle.
Trans & genderqueer people and people who don’t fit gender stereotypes report being harassed, attacked, or questioned by authorities while trying to use the bathroom; many avoid using public washrooms altogether, leading some to develop health problems. This is not equity. Everyone should be able to use a safe public bathroom so that they can pee in peace.
Making public washrooms safe for trans & genderqueer people and people who don’t fit gender stereotypes is not a separate problem from making washrooms safe and dignified for all people. We stand in solidarity with all those who experience barriers to accessing public washrooms — together, we can push for solutions that meet the needs of our community as a whole.
What would it take for all of us to be Free to Pee at GBC? For more information about the Free to Pee @ GBC campaign, including upcoming events, check out our website! freetopeegbc.com
