Urinary segregation refers to the separation of public restrooms into the binary gender categories of male and female. This separation results in segregation of those who do not fit into either gender category. In the United States this gender-based segregation began in the late 19th century as a response to women not having a restroom available to them in the workplace.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Biggest Obstacle to Gender Neutral Bathrooms? Building Codes. )〕 In more recent times, this segregation has been perpetuated by both city laws and building codes. Urinary segregation is the cause of anxiety for many subgroups in society, with the most obvious of these groups being transgender people. Gender-segregated bathrooms also create a number of "anxious dilemmas" even for those who do identify with a binary gender. These dilemmas include "a mother sending her young son alone into the men's room without her, the adult son waiting outside the door of the women's room for his Alzheimer's afflicted mother to emerge, and the wheelchair bound husband left to navigate the handicapped stall in the men's room without the help his wife."〔http://www.law.uchicago.edu/files/files/tperae.pdf〕 ==The origin of urinary segregation== "The first gender-segregated toilets were assembled in a Parisian restaurant for a ball held in 1739."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Unisex Toilets and the Sex-Elimination Linkage )〕 Preceding this, public restrooms were "gender neutral or marked for men only."〔 The need to establish gender-segregated bathrooms in the United States arose from a lack of women's restrooms in workplaces. It was in 1887 that Massachusetts became the first state in the United States to pass legislation requiring that any workplace with female employees be required to have a female specific restroom. In the 1920s most states had passed laws regarding gender-segregated bathrooms.〔
