Ugh, that's horrible

I would not feel comfortable with a person of the opposite sex sharing the same restroom facilities with me. I think most people have the same view. Just saying.

I somewhat agree with it. The major saving grace of the bill for me is the unisex bathroom; but at the same time, would only trans-students be allowed to use it. would it be small enough to only allow one at a time. Maybe the disabled bathrooms could become the unisex bathroom?

This is a high school, and to me that means students between the ages of 11 and 18. If a 17 yo trans-girl was going to use the public girls bathroom, assuming she hadn't yet transitioned, would that be wise when there's young girls of age 11 there.

Not to mention, that any "way to increase bullying" argument has no base, because at the same time, while the girls would generally think its cute at there being a trans-girl, the trans-boy could still experience as much bullying (or worse), so the unisex bathroom remains the best idea.

It's a difficult subject, but I think it's for the best tbh. TBH i stayed away from all shared bathrooms and only used the disabled ones at my school.

Assaulted? That is an extreme, no one should be attacking anyone and there are punishments in place when that happens. On a regular basis, bathrooms are separated for a reason and this opens the door to anyone of any gender being able to walk into any restroom they want.

Unless they are completely transitioned, then I agree that they shouldn't use opposite sex bathrooms. Either give students a unisex bathroom or they should use the bathroom according to their sex. If not then people could just fake being trans in order to use girls/boys bathroom and locker rooms.

What are the actual chances of someone pretending to be trans just to use a bathroom

Most (cis & straight) are uneducated on trans* and don't even know that you can be trans without looking like the opposite sex. Honestly, use your ****ing brains

Same with gay men who want to creep on other men, and lesbians who want to creep on other women.

Okay, same with some trans women. Now what?

Tell me how you would feel if you walked in the men's bathroom and saw a trans woman in a skirt, heels, make up, long hair, and maybe even feminine breasts. eDo you honestly feel like that's the correct place for her to be, because of what is under her skirt? Stop being so damn simple minded.
