OK people.  Here's what I think they are talking about.

They are talking about having one toilet bathrooms that lock for transgender individuals.  This is not about having girls and boys go into bathrooms together at the same time.

The problem is that the transgendered person does not feel comfortable going into the bathroom that matches the person's parts, yet cannot go in the bathroom for the sex that the person identifies with.  The solution is to have a "unisex" one toilet room that the person can go in, lock the door, and use the toilet.

I hope you can all stop being hysterical now.  [/quote]

It is like the Family bathrooms that were installed in the Rec centers.  I do not have a problem with them. For many schools it will involve a sign in front of a bathroom that already exists.  [/quote]

+1. We've all seen what I believe they're talking about... the single, self contained restroom with toilet and sink behind the same door. My interpretation was that they meant something similar to a mall family restroom, or the style of restroom in most gas stations. If one person goes in there at a time, why the need for assigning different ones to different genders? Just put "restroom" on the sign and then anyone of any of the infinite gender identities possible can comfortably use it. Not a big deal or inconvenience to cisgender individuals but could mean a lot to others who are different in their gender identity and could go far to help with a general feeling of acceptance and comfort. Isn't that a decent ultimate goal?[/quote]

Why is this even a "thing"? What is offensive about a generic single user restroom?![/quote]
