[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How exactly do these work for a 'normal' girl- she is straight, not confused about her gender identity at all and conventionally modest. She isn't interested in sharing a dressing room, shower stall, or row of toilets a la Marine barracks style with random guys or lesbians.[/quote]

OP, the unfortunate reality is that many dorms at most schools are set up like this in one way or another.

I really wish the "normal" girls and their parents would push back and push back hard. It is so unfair that it is always the girls who have to compromise in this situation. [/quote]

You really lose all credibility when you complain she will need to use a toilet in a stall next to a lesbian.  That literally happens any time she uses the bathroom in any public place.  I cannot possibly imagine what the issue is there. You sound crazy and bigoted.

I have more sympathy for the issue of showing if there are males and the showers only have curtains. While that’s what I had in the 90s, I think the current dorms are better built and have actual shower stalls.  I think all schools also have single sex option forms that she could opt into. Most girls aren’t actually bothered by this, but I believe there is usually an alternative for girls that are bothered.  
While sexual assault is sadly super common on college campuses, I do not think the mixed gender bathrooms are a particular problem area.  Ironically, it may be the place she’s least likely to be assaulted.  A party or her own dorm room is probably the most likely.[/quote]

Sorry, I didn't read the part about the lesbian avoidance; that is silly and I hope OP knows it.

But I do think it is unfair that regular girls (OP calls them "normal") are the ones who have to accommodate the all gender situation in dorm bathrooms. My DC's school had a blow-up about that on the parent Facebook page last fall, and a lot of parents raised hell about it.  I suggest that OP do the same. There really are a lot of parents out there that don't like the idea of their daughters in college sharing bathrooms with biological men. At DC's school, the administration did listen and eventually made a number of the bathrooms strictly single-biological sex.

That parents "raised hell" about bathrooms in A COLLEGE DORM WHERE THE PEOPLE USING THE TOILETS ARE ADULTS is the epitome of the decline of our society. Jesus Effing Christ. Parents need to know when to stay in their lane.[/quote]
