[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a co-ed bathroom in one college dorm and hated it. Soon DD will start in a school with co-ed bathrooms and says she doesn't mind.

But at the end of the day, I don't really see any advantage to co-ed bathrooms. Tell me, please, why anyone would consider this a good idea?! [/quote]

I think that it's supposed to make life more comfortable for those who are trans-gender or nonbinary.[/quote]

Maybe that's why I disapprove-- I'm not really interested in challenging gender. If that's the rationale, I'd say abolishing single-sex bathrooms for everyone is kind of an extreme response.

During my co-ed bathroom experience in the 90s, the men were reasonably respectful and the shower areas included changing booths. But I was uncomfortable using the toilet around men and wasted a lot of energy planning my bathroom use for times it was likely to be empty. There were a lot of aborted pooping attempts because a guy walked in. I remember, too, there was an otherwise nice guy who would leave his stubble in the sink every morning and a lot of noisy gargling, etc. Not impossible to manage, but it was certainly uncomfortable. Very different from using a girls-only bathroom in other dorms, which were much more comfortable spaces.
