Sad that they rather discriminate against a transgirl than find a solution LostOne4Ever Sep 2015 #1

Yeah, it's an architectural issue, not a social one jberryhill Sep 2015 #2

Co-ed bathrooms and locker rooms? oberliner Sep 2015 #3

I agree. Co-ed locker rooms and bathrooms are not the answer TexasMommaWithAHat Sep 2015 #6

Again they have private stalls LostOne4Ever Sep 2015 #9

No thanks. The camaraderie in the locker room TexasMommaWithAHat Sep 2015 #10

So camaraderie is more important than privacy and inclusion LostOne4Ever Sep 2015 #12

Do students change their clothing, shower, and go to the toilet in the halls? (No, taking off a coat WinkyDink Sep 2015 #18

They don't do that in the locker room either, but in the enclosed lockable stalls. uppityperson Sep 2015 #20

Actually, you walk around in a towel after showering TexasMommaWithAHat Sep 2015 #34

They can change in a shower stall and do those things when dressed gollygee Sep 2015 #40

We're also talking about private gyms TexasMommaWithAHat Sep 2015 #42

I don't like the idea of co-ed locker rooms gollygee Sep 2015 #43

Yeah, definitely not a good idea. smirkymonkey Sep 2015 #15

Why would it make them uncomfortable if they have private stalls? LostOne4Ever Sep 2015 #7

And the money for these renovations? WinkyDink Sep 2015 #16

Public funds and taxes if need be LostOne4Ever Sep 2015 #23

In the gyms I have belonged to we still have to walk from our lockers to the showers Tipperary Sep 2015 #21

There would be private shower stalls no men and more privacy nt LostOne4Ever Sep 2015 #29

There are private shower stalls at my gym. There is a large locker room. We walk back and Tipperary Sep 2015 #39

It probably won't happen but it would still fix the situation n/t LostOne4Ever Sep 2015 #48

I have no problem with a transgender woman in the locker room. There is a trans woman at my gym and Tipperary Sep 2015 #51

Ditto to everything you wrote! TexasMommaWithAHat Sep 2015 #55

You do know that poster is advocating for something you said you were against right? LostOne4Ever Sep 2015 #58

I am not advocating anything and I am talking about adult women, Tipperary Sep 2015 #60

So you think it is fine to discriminate against a transgirl but not a transwoman? LostOne4Ever Sep 2015 #62

I have no problem with gender neutral locker rooms if those using them Tipperary Sep 2015 #63

I got the impression we were on the same side too LostOne4Ever Sep 2015 #65

In a locker room for women, I support TexasMommaWithAHat Sep 2015 #61

That is why I am calling for gender neutral facilities LostOne4Ever Sep 2015 #67

A giant room with a sink? TexasMommaWithAHat Sep 2015 #25

Agree! At our school the guys used to compare dicks and all. It was tiring and humiliating. n/t RKP5637 Sep 2015 #54

So this kid you know would feel cool being naked in the communal girls' shower? WinkyDink Sep 2015 #14

well, when I was an older grad student at a local Dominican college I swam in the CTyankee Sep 2015 #26

Do you know how this school's showers are set up? gollygee Sep 2015 #30

I don't have a problem w/ transgender kids using the appropriate locker room, smirkymonkey Sep 2015 #17

You don't THINK?? It would be DISASTROUS FOR THE GIRLS, FOR GOD'S SAKE. Cell-phones, anyone? WinkyDink Sep 2015 #19

No, they think they've very progressive and TexasMommaWithAHat Sep 2015 #27

I agree gollygee Sep 2015 #33

How about some common sense? TexasMommaWithAHat Sep 2015 #5

A bathroom is more than just a bunch of stalls. It's fixing one's attire; maybe buying a tampon; WinkyDink Sep 2015 #13

Kids can't fix attire or buy a tampon in front of a transgender person? gollygee Sep 2015 #36

What would be wrong with fixing one's attire, buying a tampon or even farting in front of a uppityperson Sep 2015 #64

No, but there is a penis TexasMommaWithAHat Sep 2015 #31

Sounds like Lila is fine being in the girls locker, it is the others who are uncomfortable. uppityperson Sep 2015 #32

In the video they state that she was offered her own private accommodations but she didn't want Juicy_Bellows Sep 2015 #41

I don't think Lila identified as female TexasMommaWithAHat Sep 2015 #44

The vid says she has for 4+ yrs but just came out publicly last Feb. uppityperson Sep 2015 #45
