Hey Starbucks! Gender-Neutral Bathroom Signage Worldwide is a MUST!!


Hey Starbucks! Gender-Neutral Bathroom Signage Worldwide is a MUST!!
The Issue
Respectfully, I am requesting Starbucks to change all their restroom signage to "gender neutral" signage worldwide. Currently, a majority of their locations have one (1) male and one (1) female restroom. Each of those restrooms consist of a private room with locking door. Starbucks locations with only one (1) restroom in total already have a "gender neutral" sign on the door.
Starbucks in the Washington DC area have already adopted "gender neutral" bathroom signage. Why can't Starbucks adopt this policy worldwide? According to a survey conducted by the DC Trans Coalition, nearly 70% of transgender and gender-nonconforming residents reported being "denied access to, verbally harassed in, and/or physically assaulted in public bathrooms.
We are an active duty Army family. We have six-children, with our eldest child being transgender. Our family is sensitive to the public bathroom needs of all transgender people worldwide... at times, it can be dangerous and/or embarrassing for them to use the restroom they actually identify with.
The power of social media is a powerful one... I am confident an online petition such as, change.org would be widely supported. Such a small, low cost gesture on Starbucks part could have so many benefits to so many... their company, their employees, their investors, their customers, my child.
