Debunks the 21 most commons myths and misperceptions about transgender issues.

From Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner to Thomas Beatie (‘the pregnant man’) and transgender youth, coverage of trans lives has been exploding-yet so much misinformation persists. Bringing together the medical, social, psychological, and political aspects of being trans in the United States today, You’re in the Wrong Bathroom! unpacks the twenty-one most common myths and misconceptions about transgender and gender-nonconforming people.
