Good! Republicans need to get over their obsession with trans children's genitals.
Good lord they are only 11 years old. Who cares what bathroom they use.
Make them all unisex. If it's a large facility with a bunch of stalls or a small facility for only one person, make them all unisex.
Pretty much only conservatives. They're actually pretty obsessed with thinking about children being raped in bathrooms.
We need to separate the bathrooms by function!
Number ones on the left number twos on the right!
gender neutral bathrooms are the answer here.
most public places have them now, don't get why you can't have one in a school.
In places with large crowds, gender neutral bathrooms (assuming you also mean single-use) don't really work. It causes massive lines.
Not to mention, there's no need. It's a bathroom. Why does anyone care who they pee or poop next to? It seems so silly and arbitrary to me. Just get in, do your thing, wash your hands, and get out. haha
We can have gender neutral bathrooms where we have a shared hand-washing area, and individual stalls. Heck, you can even have cameras pointed towards the sink area if people are so afraid of getting harassed in the bathroom. Gender should not matter when you have individual stalls.
Right? I've been using public restrooms for a long time and I don't recall ever seeing anyone's naughty bits.
..and for me the most ridiculous part of this discussion is that bathrooms have never been a secure space. If some creep wanted to go into a bathroom to harass people, there is literally nothing stopping them. It's not like bathrooms have guarded entrances and now people have a sneaky way to get into a bathroom by pretending to be transgender or something insane like that.
It's literally a manufactured issue to get the GOP electorate terrified, as everything they do is designed to do.
I've never understood why I should care where someone else goes to the bathroom anyways.
Imagine holding in a shit for months as a court determines where you can poop.
While this is welcome news, it's also depressing that we live in a timeline stupid enough that bathroom panics are enough of a thing that there are laws on the books like this to be struck down by judges (and of course, the fact that other judges are likely to reverse this ruling).
