Han Malyn (they/them) returns to discuss safety and accessibility for women and gender minorities in public space. They advocate for the use of intersectionality, empathy, and non-defensive listening for decision makers in making design and operational choices. We discuss:

-How women and gender minorities are marginalized by the way we design and operate public space;

-Why failing to ensure the safety and dignity of all people in public space can impact our own experience of inclusion;

-How the history of curb cuts reveals that we are having the wrong conversations about the design of public bathrooms;

-The specific steps we can all take to improve accessibility and safety.
