How would this expose girls to boys? Because they'd be using the same sink?

Are you really that stupid? Maybe you are a man so I'll break it down for you
I come from a long line of heavy bleeders. We go through multiple pads tampons in just one day. Sometimes we can just sit on a toilet while clots and blood gushes out. We are genetically built this way. Many times we bleed through our clothes and need a safe private sink to pull down our pants and try to clean up the blood so it is not so obvious when we walk out of the bathroom.

Where are my daighters rights as a new woman to be able to learn to care for herself? Where are my daughter's rights to do the same at her school in a safe environment? How is she going to do this surrounded by boys? She won't. She will be anxious scared and mortified. But to all of you, the girls rights don't matter. We have to spend millions and pander to a handful of trans kids who are welcome to use our bathroom any time they need it.

+1 million. I cannot believe people are even thinking about this idea. How many times did I (and my daughter, I'm sure) ask a fellow woman in the common restroom area for a pad or tampon? Ask the woman in the stall next store for extra toilet paper? Stand in front of the sink trying to get blood out of pants so we could return to class? This happens all. the. time. Especially in middle and high school. Single stalls, even if the door is floor to ceiling, is not enough. I cannot believe there is even one woman who supports this idea.

People having to go to the health room to use a special bathroom is basically the opposite of the goal of this proposal.

Think of it as the restroom equivalent of the designated allergy table in the cafeteria.

Maybe you don't know how big the school buildings are, especially the middle schools and high schools.

So you oppose floor-to-ceiling walls, because then you can't ask the person in the next stall for extra toilet paper?

She can still go to one of the many single sex bathrooms that will still exist in the school.

Also, rinsing blood out in the sink is gross. I'd recommend that be done in the nurse's office where she can ask for a Lysol wipe to clean it up afterwards.

The girls would dispose of their sanitary supplies IN THE STALL, even if they were using the unisex bathroom. Also, if they want, they are free to use the many single sex bathrooms that will still be at the school.

FFS, this is not a conspiracy. It is a small gesture to kids who are either transgender or otherwise gender-nonconforming, which includes many young women.

when the boy goes into the stall and photographs the sanitary napkin? That’ll be fun

.....then he can face the consequences of his action. You think a boy is going to go into the stall, fish out a used sanitary napkin, and post a picture of it along with the name of the girl who was last in that stall?

How would he even know she was the one who changed her pad?

You are literally inventing a problem at this point.

did you actually ever go to school? You have no idea how mean kids can be

I remember when I was in high school a girl who was wearing white jeans had a period accident . Now she’ll have to stand in a coed bathroom in her panties washing her jeans in the sink. But it’s for the greater goood!

That's one of the reasons for this idea. Actual mean things actual mean kids are actually doing (vs. hypothetical mean things hypothetical (or actual) mean kids might hypothetically do).

I know that a few kids spending 4 extra minutes per trip to the bathroom raises far fewer complications than having all-gender bathrooms.

+1.

I hope this is a wake-up call to women and to parents of girls.

but the feelings of trans kids and their enablers are paramount

+1 I know exactly how mean kids can be (and are!) and therefore support the creation of a handful of gender neutral bathrooms for transgender and gender nonconforming kids.

Yep, you don't know how big the buildings are.

that won’t be good enough when liberals start pushing hard on gender fluidity. They want confirmation and you can’t do that in a unisex bathroom. If someone claims their gender changes they want to “prove” it though unisex coed bathrooms would help them that much so they’ll want separate bathrooms so they can use both

I think there's an obvious solution.

Abolish all bathrooms. Convert them into TV rooms or something.

Are those transgender and gender nonconforming kids required to ONLY go to those bathrooms?

If yes, you are CERTAINLY asking for lawsuits from their parents.
If not, why do they have more choices than other kids as far as "bathroom option" is concerned? You might get lawsuits from parents of other kids.
