I wonder what world you're living in. It is not reality, and your comments reveal a very idealistic view of human nature.

Long story short, it doesn't work.

This is the danger of having people that think like this run the country. No you don't throw gasoline on a burning fire and expect it to contain itself, especially when you are talking adolescent teenagers.

Time to come down to reality.
Of course, they should be able to. Naturally, you can have societal rules regarding what is considered decent coverage (for people of all genders), but those rules should be fair.

If a woman going shirtless in public is illegal, same is true for a man.

People do walk around naked. Nudist colonies, nude beaches... these places exist.

People go to a nudist beach by choice and consent. Kids in school don't have that right/luxury.

Same anatomical genitals in a single-sex facility. How is that hard to understand?

The Principal told the parents that the BOY should use the nurses office to change if he had a problem changing with girls or just withdraw from school and be home schooled.
Anyone else think this is insane? Why shouldn't the "girl" change in the nurses office or stay home?



School orders boy to tolerate undressing with girl and make it natural | Fox News
The true answer to this dilemma is to wait until the transgender process is completed. All boys would lose their penises and all girls would lose their vaginas " problem solved " right?!?!?!?

Transgenders are trying to change society outlook on them , pretty much like the homosexual marriage crowd did when they threw Domestic Partnerships and Civil Unions under the "Bus" to pursuit Homosexual Marriage.

This is just a pit stop on the way to the Supreme Court of the United States of America.

Some of us very old women are getting damned tired of the football rape culture. And their lazy arse advocates.

Some of us raised boys who learned about their bodies and what is acceptable and what is not.

If humans think they are the highest of the animal kingdom, they need to damn well learn how to control their animal instincts.

You think adolescent teenagers are incapable of self control.

Thank goodness my grandson have competent parents. They are all in college and grad school and have never felt compelled to assault or grope any person.

One went off to a camp that encouraged group skinny dipping from early elementary age until they aged out. The kids spent all summer together skinny dipping every day. No one was ever assaulted.

Obama's Department of Injustice forced this on a school in Illinois, threatening to pull federal funding unless a boy who calls himself a girl (AKA transgender) was ordered to be allowed into a girls locker room. The girls were told to deal with it, so they now go in with clothes under their gym clothes.

High School Girls Don


I think the Left is a menace to society. They put boys in girls lockrooms and let unvetted 18, etc year old illegals to come in and register as freshmen and expect nothing to happen.

The implication here is that if a teenage boy (or girl) sees a naked person of the opposite sex, they won't be able to control their lustful urges, and they will sexually harass or rape the other student and it's the school's fault. That's complete and utter B.S.

Teenagers have control over their actions. Every good parent teaches their kid not to touch someone else without their permission and if they do, it's on them. If the teenager is going to have sex with another, they're going to do it with or without the assistance of a locker room.

BTW, some teenagers are gay, and being naked in the locker room with persons of the same sex is exactly the same for them as heterosexual teenagers being together. Also, just because you're naked in the locker room with someone doesn't mean the person will be attractive to you. Teens are the same way. Anyone who has been out on a beach and seen people in skimpy swimsuits knows this.

Lets just leave it with your point that its a bad idea and the schools shouldnt do this.

The rest is unnecessary in these cases. It shouldnt be happening, no buts or howevers.

I'm a woman. Have used a variety of restrooms over the years.

Never been in one with a special "vagina receptacle" sort of a thing that I had to pee into that made a women's room a better place for me to use than a men's room.

I mean, I go to the women's room because I am generally more comfortable in them. I feel like everyone else should be able to choose.

Unisex works fine for RRs. It doesnt for locker or dressing rooms.

The world is full of options. Ain't life grand?
Why cant the trans make the choice to change in the locker room that matches their genitalia? Why must a male in a male locker room consider leaving it because of the presence of an anatomical female that thinks she is a male in the male locker room? Or a teenage female who doesnt want to be in a dressing room with an anatomical male

The ones not acting like adults in this entire situation are the trans folks demanding that 999 people be inconvenienced because they dont want to go to the side their anatomy matches. When will THEY decide to act like adults and realize THEY are the different ones?
