Ungendering seems like the extreme, and so, the wrong step to take in the workplace.

What Obama put forth -- using the facilities meant for the gender you identify with -- seems like a more common-sense response. Chances that someone would exploit such a policy at a work place seem pretty low.

Maybe the point is to spread awareness by taking a stand? Maybe the point is to take a more extreme step to make trans people feel more welcome? On the other hand, what about everyone else? After all, it's a workplace and there is enough politics there anyway.

To be honest, I think I would be uncomfortable if this happened at my workplace.

Anyway, I get that this is a touchy thing to comment on, but figured I would put in my 2 cents incase I learnt something from any responses.

what about non-binary people? What bathroom should they use in a workplace with binary gendered bathrooms?

Use the bathroom that has the physical accommodations you need (menstrual products, urinals, handicap accessible stalls).

They just use the one they are most comfortable with. If that is a problem it can be worked out on a case by case basis.
