In addition to saying the City Council was wrong to exclude transgender individuals when the human rights ordinance was changed to protect gays and lesbians, Kathleen Ford said “all public bathrooms should be unisex, private-stall bathrooms to accommodate everyone” according to an article in which the mayoral candidates outline where they stand on gay rights issues.

Dude, I do not want to see this happen to anyone…
