Comment on English schools to segregate Trans+ kids from toilets – including those who've already transitioned – from September

  While I do hold the opinion that gender neutral, individually lockable toilet rooms with a mirror and a washbasin etc are the ideal future proof approach for bathrooms pretty much everywhere, I must acknowledge that it is a pretty big undertaking to retrofit existing bathroom facilities into that design.

  Though why everyone seems so eager to just throw trans folks to the dogs instead is beyond me.

    As a society, we so often want our solutions to be completely elegant and perfect. Life isn’t perfect, situations are messy, details get missed.

    every washroom doesn’t need to be perfectly gendered neutral and retrofitted to be “compliant”. We can just build a couple of stalls where anyone can go and use the stall for whatever reason. Public washrooms are already the worst most uncomfortable place in the world.

    The larger issue imo is that we are wasting way too much time and energy talking about where people should take a shit. It’s a fucking washroom. Can we please move on?

    You don’t have to like or be friends with trans people, just leave them alone.
