I am writing she/he and girls/boys, please put the genders together when you read. Perhaps "identified gender:people of the same identified gender" would be more accurate, but it seemed clumsy to write.

I sincerely do not understand the reasoning behind not allowing a person to use the facility (restroom, locker room) that they identify with.

Also, I will be on and off DU for a couple days at random times so may not be able to answer/reply quickly.

ETA, thank you for all the replies and votes. The proper answer is they should use the facilities they identify with.

	This used to be "obigatory other" but I edited it down and this one stayed blank. Odd.
