[quote=Anonymous]Well, the board is only voting on "non discrimination" statement. They don't know what it means for the bathrooms yet (will hire consultant, will Cost more $).

I don't think extra unisex bathrooms are viewed as the "answer" for transgender students. The argument is that other students will see the person using "special bathroom" and that is already discrimination. In another county a lawsuit is filed, and unisex bathrooms are specifically called out as "non solution".

In California, transgender students can use bathrooms of the sex they identify with... I'm not sure we are as liberal in FC, but the county has been leaning liberal for a long long time.

The biggest issue I see are more with the locker rooms than bathrooms -- no really stalls there. I'm worried about piping Toms going to girls bathroom/locker room and claiming that "today I identify with a girl and go ahead and prove otherwise"...  [/quote]
