Wheelchair Users Have a Right to Pee

It's time to express myself. I am so frustrated at finding it's becoming more and more difficult to get into the accessible washroom to pee.
First of all, the number of accessible washrooms are few and far between.
Second of all, many of the stalls/washrooms that were once designed as washrooms for people with disabilities to use, are now being converted to Family washrooms and/or gender-neutral washrooms.
Most are being fitted with baby change tables as well.
I have no problem with the need to accommodate families or creating gender-neutral washrooms - but PLEASE - ADD MORE WASHROOMS - DON'T TAKE AWAY the large accessible stalls.
People who use a wheelchair can't just choose to go somewhere else.
Take you.

This is getting serious. I've had 3 accidents because of it. For all those who say, "hold it" I say some people with disabilities must rely on a different form of bladder management and it's not possible to hold it.
