Have you ever had to go to the bathroom while sitting in class and the teacher wouldn't let you go? If you
answered “yes“, then read on!
Using the bathroom is something that we all gotta do. In fact, it is a basic human need like eating,
breathing and sleeping that keeps us alive and healthy. Yet, how many times in school have you been forced
to "hold it"?
What about adults who go to work and school? Are they allowed to use the bathroom? The parts of the
government that deal with labor laws say yes. Labor laws state that employers must allow workers to use the
bathroom. In the past, workers have sued employers that refused to allow them to use the bathroom. The courts
ruled in their favor.
Being denied the right to use the bathroom can cause many health risks, and is an infringement of our human rights.
My body my choice, my bladder my voice.
Let us pee!

I have been reading through the comments and honestly it breaks my heart how many people have had actual medical issues just because someone in a position of power decided they were not allowed to walk out of a room. It is honestly absurd that we even have to argue about this because it feels like something that should have been settled years ago but here we are still having to fight for our basic autonomy.

It is honestly wild to see how many people felt this exact same frustration because I really thought I was just being dramatic when I started clicking around on my keyboard that first night. The momentum is growing so fast now that my phone will not stop buzzing and honestly I am so glad that other people realize how ridiculous it is to treat a basic biological function like it is some kind of luxury privilege.
