Advocates call it a rollback of hard-won rights.

An accessible bathroom with a wall-mounted toilet and handrails on both sides, plus space to transfer from either side. The sink has clear leg space underneath. Issues noted include a raised flusher that may be difficult to press, a mirror that may be too high for seated users, a dryer that may be hard to reach, and the absence of a visible soap dispenser. Text overlaid on the image, with both white and red backgrounds, depicts each of the access features, or lack thereof.
