I'm sure there are some confused folks out there as to what restroom they need to go to but you also know there will be those who seize the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. The thing that would have been (my own opinion mind you) more rational would have been for the school to have made some special accommodation for the student in question to possibly use a single stall restroom rather than force every student to have to contend with people who may not decide they want to go to the restroom assigned to their particular body plumbing. Frankly I would think it would set the particular student involved up for far more ridiculing and abuse then they would have ever received in the first place.
I am not familiar with the case that started all this, in the first place, but sounds like to me that this was more an issue brought to light by some parent rather than the student themselves. I pity the kids and the future that they will inherit. Then again with the way society is and has become some could say that school is preparing them for the world they will soon face ahead of them.
Kind of crazy it seems to me. All this new talk about defining rape and taking extraordinary measures to protect from rape in colleges yet making moves like this which, to me, seems to foster an atmosphere where rape is far more possible and probable then ever before.
Rape is more probable and possible in a public restroom because it allows transgender people? Explain how, I'd really like to know. How have they prevented the rapes so far when anyone can walk into any restroom, anywhere, anytime? People need to get a grip. If you oppose the idea, use sane arguments. Some people would have us believe men are just chomping at the bits to get to dress like a woman and go into a public toilet so they can rape someone, when they could just walk in to them now!
