I would have literally NOT applied to that school based solely on that fact. There is NO way I'd do that. My mom and I once went into a clothing store we'd never been to and it turned out there was a communal dressing room. I noped out of there so fast it made my mother's head spin. She tried to be all "it's no big deal" and I told her to go ahead and change in front of strangers.

I guess you weren't an athlete. Not sure why you are capitalizing your NOT and NO...you realize you are the outlier (bathing/changing in a communal single-sex room) on this one, right?

What’s wrong with being an outlier?

Not the Malcolm Gladwell definition…the loser outlier.

Women do not walk around same sex bathrooms naked .

WTH are you talking about?

+1

My athletic daughters have never fully changed in an open locker room. They use a stall if getting naked.

And same for when I played D1 team sport. No one was running around naked.

I don't understand why people are so worked up about communal, single-sex locker/changing rooms. What are you so worried about exactly?

I guess none of you should ever visit Iceland and try to go to any of the hot springs.

The locker rooms there are single sex.

Yes, but if you don’t shower naked in a communal shower area they aren’t letting you in the hot springs.

2) Don’t assume that your daughter is “normal” and a gay or transgender person is not. That is offensive.

3) A lesbian is a female , the same gender as your heterosexual daughter.

Please get educated, especially if you are responsible for raising a child in this day and age. You come across like you have been imprisoned in a religious cult underground since the 1950’s.

Thank you.

I reported the OP because, the implications really tap into bigotry and hate. Such ignorance from OP. Or, a political troll advancing an agenda. Nothing sells Right wing voting platform like fear. And bathrooms. SMH

OP- call the school. I am hopeful there are some schools that will still allow girls in female only spaces. Optimally, they would have non- gendered areas also.
The fact that girls want this should not be met by bigotry. It is fine that others don’t.

Thousands upon thousands of straight, cis college women, including my daughter, seem to cope with this just fine. I managed it just fine back in the late 80s myself.

Sounds like your daughter might have some maturity or anxiety issues and may not be ready to go away to college. Don’t feel bad OP, college isn’t for everyone.

Just wait until DC is no longer a freshman. Many schools allow mixed gender sharing of dorm rooms and campus apartments.

Lots of posters here would probably lay down their life to protect the right for the most extreme LGBTQ…XYZ person to have their preferences respected. But some 17 year old girl isn’t wild about taking a dump next 3 feet from a guy she might have a crush on & people act like she’s from Pluto. You’re all about individuality & choice, but Heaven forbid someone is an outlier on the topic of shared bathrooms.

This is easily solved.

Live at home, go to community college, hold it all day while at classes, and come home to go pee pee and poo poo.

If she can schedule classes far apart like Monday and Wednesday 9-10am and 4-6pm and Tuesday Thursday 10-11am and 2-4pm then she can basically always make it home to go wee wee and doo doo without seeing ding dongs and avoiding lesbian looky-loos.

If she is a good student she can consider a local four-year college and apply the same strategy as a commuter.

Best of luck to your daughter and her commendable purity crusade!!!

Allow, none of them require.

I haven’t yet toured a school that doesn’t have a variety of options. OP seems to want to control every bathroom on campus.

[Anonymous]

I understand the embarrassment/modesty issue. But the OP sprinkled in bigoted nonsense and lost credibility.

Maybe the kid finds a single toilet with a door for the toilet problem. But, otherwise, short of requesting a single sex dorm or getting her own place, she’s just going to have to learn to roll with it.

I did too and was just thinking about that. I think we voted as a floor as to which bathroom would be co-ed. And there was a sign you could slide to indicate if there were men or women in there. Not a big deal.

Bryn Mawr as well, because there could always be men spending the night in a dorm, we were all adults.

We used to crack up when anyone spotted four feet in a shower. (Could be two pairs of the same or opposite genders, of course.)

Hope the ladies enjoy all of the piss all over the seats and floors from the dudes urinating in the same bathroom.

Welcome to progress in action.

I grew up sharing a bathroom with brothers and a dad and this wasn't an issue, do they lose the ability to be housetrained when they go to college?
