要求設立性別友善設施
廁所、更衣室、試身室這類設施多以性別區分,令跨性別者及家庭照顧者使用時困難重重。 增設「性別友善設施」就是照顧主流大多數的同時,為有同樣需要的少數人提供多一個有尊嚴的選擇。
跨性別者因為外貌有可能與身份證上的性別不相符,進入男或女性的設施時會遇上極大壓力;帶著年幼女孩的男性照顧者、與年邁父親外出的女兒等家庭照顧者,亦會苦惱於不能陪同家人進入男或女性的設施。「性別友善設施」就是在男/女設施以外,加設一個小小的性別中立空間,讓跨性別者或其他有需要者不用時刻在非男即女的設施選項之間,遭受不必要的生活壓力。
我支持香港政府在城市規劃當中加入性別友善的角度,在轄下公眾設施、公營及私營的康樂體育場地、公司、商場及其他公眾地方增設「性別友善」廁所、更衣室、試身室等「性別友善設施」,使之更為普及,,讓香港一步步成為性別友善城市。

Demand for All Gender Facilities
Toilets, changing rooms and even fitting rooms in shops are differentiated by male or female. Thus, transgender people or family carers face great pressure in using gender-binary facilities. Increasing ‘All-Gender Facilities’ in the community not only benefits the majority of people but also pay respect and gives a better choice for those minorities]
Transgender people face difficulties in using gender-binary facilities due to the mismatch between who they are, how they look like with the gender enlisted on their HK identity card. On the other hand, not only the LGBT+ community needed these facilities, male carers taking care of female youngsters and daughter with frail father etc are one of the many carers that also faced the challenge of not able to use accommodating facilities when taking care of them once they left home. All-Gender facilities alleviate this pressure by being gender-friendly, allowing people in need to use public facilities in a respected and equal manner.
I support Hong Kong government to incorporate the concept of gender-friendly in urban planning, and having all-gender facilities such as toilets, changing rooms, fitting rooms etc. in public facilities, public and private leisure and entertainment grounds, companies and offices, in malls and other public areas. Enhance Hong Kong in social integration and cohesion, polishing the steps in becoming a gender-friendly cosmopolitan city.
