Federal wildlife refuges have been ordered to create “all-gender” bathrooms for employees at facilities that do not have single stalls.
Current single stalls will be made into an “all-gender” bathroom for the purpose of considering “gender nonbinary employees.”
The new order does not include facilities for public use.
Reporting from The Washington Times:
Employees who spoke with The Washington Times cited the existing backlog of maintenance projects. The agency said its total maintenance backlog is $2 billion, with $1.4 billion of that in the nation’s wildlife refuges. Staffers have also said that they find it odd that an agency staffed with wildlife biologists, who have to identify animals’ sex as a regular part of their job, are being told to ignore that biology to accommodate diversity, equity and inclusion policies.
