A lot of bathrooms in Sweden are like this. It's so nice to be able to go to the bathroom without people peeking at you through the stall cracks and hearing your every movement.

There's at least one high school in Minneapolis that's done this. Apparently it's actually going really well.

Because the pearl clutchers won't let them.

My college dorm was like this. Every bathroom was ungendered. The stalls weren't fully floor to ceiling, but were slightly better than the average public bathroom. 99% of people got over it after a little culture shock at the very beginning (maybe 2-3 days).

There was still one women-only bathroom in my building; I believe it was for a few students who asked for religious consideration. No biggie though for almost every student.

It only led to one embarrassing moment for me: I (a guy) was singing Frank Ocean at the top of my lungs while showering. When I came out of the shower a girl was brushing her teeth and made eye contact with me and kind of snickered/giggled. Racewalked back to my room 💀

I will not give up urinals. They're so much faster and more efficient. Have you SEEN the lines for women's restrooms?

As much as I agree, that will cost money, therefore it won't happen. I feel the only way a place will do anything that I beneficial to the end user/customer is if it is profitable for them.

No, but I could use some chalk. My brain hands were slipping during that round of mental gymnastics.

Someone should send her a box of white bead necklaces lmao

Can students sue to avoid sharing a restroom with bigots if that is against my religion?

I would support this lawsuit. With an added provision that if it must be a shared public bathroom, if someone talks to you for a non-emergency reason: 10 years to life. Especially if they try to have an actual chat. That's just felonious.

This seems to have some merit.

The stupidest part to me is that cis women could also potentially assault other cis women in public restrooms but these bigots haven’t even considered that possibility.

Also, if you are a cis man and are just desperate to sexually assault a woman in a public restroom, I would think that a janitor’s uniform and a mop would be enough.

Sounds like Jim Crow era segregation

That's exactly what it is. "These children could be raped by a trans person!" Or they could be raped by a cis person. Of their own gender or another gender.

In general, it's not hard to find a time to sneak into a bathroom when no one's looking. It's not like they're usually in some prominent place.

I don't think they're interested in the "equal" part at all.

My daughter has a very close trans friend (who the school forces to use the girl's room anyway). A girl was being a bigot to him in the bathroom, so he slapped her. Guess who did not get in trouble?

Hint: not the openly queer one.
