I don't understand what you don't understand.

You have all gender bathrooms in your home, don't you?

Why is this puzzling for you?

Are you slow?

How is this comparable? In your home, one person uses it at a time. Same with the all gender bathrooms at businesses, they are for one person to use. Multiple showers lined up with small plastic curtains separating does seem inappropriate to be all gender.

+1 how is this even a question? Do people not go out and about. You know like restaurants that have coed bathrooms or a shared sink?!?!

So let her CHOOSE a dorm with no coed bathrooms. The end.

Nothing wrong with that person along with anyone who doesn't want to take a dump next to ANYONE regardless of sex. And there are clearly people like that, who cannot share a bathroom at all. They just need to seek out and find the accommodations that meet their requirements, that's all.

I think problem is the use of the word “normal” by OP

Women do not walk around same sex bathrooms naked .

WTH are you talking about?

My athletic daughters have never fully changed in an open locker room. They use a stall if getting naked.

And same for when I played D1 team sport. No one was running around naked.

I don't understand why people are so worked up about communal, single-sex locker/changing rooms. What are you so worried about exactly?

I guess none of you should ever visit Iceland and try to go to any of the hot springs.

DP because I’m disabled and don’t like be stared at even surreptitiously.

2) Don’t assume that your daughter is “normal” and a gay or transgender person is not. That is offensive.

3) A lesbian is a female , the same gender as your heterosexual daughter.

Please get educated, especially if you are responsible for raising a child in this day and age. You come across like you have been imprisoned in a religious cult underground since the 1950’s.

Thank you.

I reported the OP because, the implications really tap into bigotry and hate. Such ignorance from OP. Or, a political troll advancing an agenda. Nothing sells Right wing voting platform like fear. And bathrooms. SMH

Exactly.

It’s an election year so they are going to dial up their fake hysterics.

Go back to your shthole, RWNJ.

I studied abroad in Europe and had co-ed bathrooms in my dorm. Meaning there were individual stalls for toilets and showers but all in the same larger room. It was no big deal. Seriously.

It was fine. No one changed in there anyway. Everyone wore a robe when exiting the shower/bathroom and changed in their dorm.

The co-ed bathrooms were actually much nicer than the same-sex bathrooms. My BFF was in a same-sex dorm and her bathroom was terrible. Firstly, there were only 5 shower stalls and they only had shower curtains, not doors. The curtains also got super moldy fast, yuck. My co-ed bathroom showers had actual stall doors that locked and never got moldy. My co-ed bathroom also had like 10 or 12 stalls and they were very large.

Graduated HS in 1991 and we had coed bathrooms in dorms. Not a big deal at all.

Thirty years ago, I had coed bathrooms in my SLAC dorms all four years and it was a nonissue.

All the bathroom stalls had lockable doors, so all you saw were feet. Each shower had its own separate alcove with a curtain for dressing. Sinks are not gendered (at least until Fox News tells us differently.) People wore robes/towels/clothes going to and from the bathroom.

We designated one stall where men could leave the seat up (and posted party flyers on the back wall, rather than the stall door). That was the extent of the modifications needed to live a healthy, psychologically unencumbered life.

Late 90s my Ivy had co-ed bathrooms in dorms. It was not a big deal.

I grew up sharing a bathroom with brothers and a dad and this wasn't an issue, do they lose the ability to be housetrained when they go to college?

Yes. You could say this about any dude. But clearly you've never been in a men's bathroom in a public place like a restaurant, school, bar, stadium, truck stop, etc. It is way different in public places. Men get piss all over toilet seats and the floor. Lol, I've been to some places where there is so much piss on the floor that it wears off flooring surface around the toilet or urinal. The amount of piss on toilet seats in men's bathrooms in public places is crazy and why I never play away games with #2. Ladies now have a lifetime of piss soaked toilet seats to look forward to all in the name of progress and nongendered bathrooms, ha.

And then this same guy will be all resentful that he can't get a date, when all the women absolutely know that he is the a-hole that can't be bothered to lift the seat or aim his penis to pee. I'm one of the many that had co-ed dorms in college and this was really a non-issue. None of the guys wanted to be known as the a-hole that couldn't pee straight. There were other problems with the guys, largely the fact that they left sweaty workout clothes in piles in their room and stunk up the whole floor, but that was dealt with through the appropriate peer pressure. And there were a couple of guys that would walk around the floor in just a towel, but honestly I think those guys would have done that even if the bathrooms were single sex.
I'm surprised by some PPs saying everyone dresses in the bathroom and doesn't walk around in a towel or robe. We definitely all wore robes or towels to go from bathroom to our dorm room. Getting dressed in the shower seems suboptimal.
