Why can't we just get rid of gendered restrooms altogether?

Just have a room with fully enclosed rooms for a toilet and then a common area for the sinks. Get rid of those stupid flimsy walls with cracks everywhere and two feet of space beneath the door and just have a bunch of individual rooms with a toilet in them. Guys can pee in a toilet, they don't need a uniral.

“She believes that referring to another person using pronouns that do not correspond with that person’s biological sex is harmful to that person because it is false and harmful to herself because it forces her to lie by denying her religious beliefs and scientific evidence,” it continues.

Do you need another strand of pearls because you clutched the first one too hard, Karen?

Can trans students sue to avoid sharing a restroom with cis classmates?

Can I sue to avoid sharing a bathroom with anyone?

There's no previous cases of assault or harassment of cis people by trans people for using the bathroom. Their fears are not valid. It's as valid as a student suing because they have a phobia of the color grey and can't be forced to use a bathroom that has any grey in it.

Cab I, a cis person, sue for being required to share a bathroom with other cis people?

I don't want to share bathrooms, thank you. That's a violation of my religious beliefs (in my religion, pooping is a sin).

Why are we letting conservatives into public restrooms? They are notorious child-rapists and are known to attack innocent people in bathrooms if they don't like the look of them.

There is no room for conservatism or other hate-based ideologies in a modern civilization.

None of this would even be a problem if bathrooms had stalls that went floor to ceiling, and so much of why that's the case boils down to people thinking it's important to police what people are doing in the bathroom. I've heard people say the bathrooms can't be private for all kinds of things including this, drug use, sex, interpersonal violence, homeless people taking sink baths, and more.

Like it's actually my job to watch people shit and piss sometimes for various reasons, even when they don't want me to, but I have to have a specific reason that applies to behavior that specific person has already done or explicitly threatened (usually suicidal behaviors, hidden weapons, or somebody just being too bull-headed to recognize that they need help walking to not smash their head into the porcelain throne) and I don't even like doing it then because of how much of a massive pain in the ass it is for everyone involved and it's just absolutely wild to me that there's people out there doing it more or less for funsies and often specifically to children. There was a gym teacher at my highschool that made it their mission to stop the saggy pants fashion trend that would go around tugging on boys pants to see if they would just fall down. Thank god our admins were smart enough to realize they couldn't just let a teacher wander around ripping kids clothes off in public (although I guess in private would be even worse) and quickly put a stop to that.

Its even a disability thing, people will police people using the disability stalls not realizing that some people who can otherwise walk need the handrails to sit and raise from the toilet without falling, among other inobvious disabilities (I've got IBS, I'm taking whatever stall is free first and if it's the handrail one so be it; I'm a human being who deserves the dignity of not shitting myself in a Walmart). This isn't to invalidate the unique struggles of the trans experience (I'm starting to look masc enough that I'm getting weird looks in the bathroom myself), but like. LET HUMANS SHIT IN PEACE 2k24!

Sounds a bit like the ol' 'gay panic' defense.

Cool, they want to return to separate but equal. Fucking weirdos.

I hate this argument. I’m conservatives and I will try to use the pronouns of choice. To me it’s just being polite. It’s like a name preference. You try to respect it. If you religion teaches you to be an asshole to everyone then it’s time to rethink your religion.

The American right: "I am so aroused by pissing and shitting and farting that I cannot pee downward if trans children are in earshot of me!"

It is amazing how few problems people have that they have the time and energy to spend on non issues like this.

Can the trans students sue for being harassed and bullied? That would be great

Okay fine, fine, the boys don't have to share a bathroom with trans girls anymore.

Just a reminder that you can sue for just about anything. That doesn't mean you have a chance in hell of winning.

Simple protest is just smash urinals or pour something like concrete into them. After a couple repairs, they will just start replacing them all with stalls... then there will be no difference between bathrooms.
