In reply to the discussion: Why should someone who is transgender not use the facilities they identify with? [View all]Teens are very self-conscious.
They think everything that happens to them is the first time it every happened in the history of man. If Suzie has a pimple on her breast that she thinks is disgusting, guess what, Jimmy don't care about that pimple if he gets to see your breast.
I'm just saying that using a bathroom/lockerroom should not be a big deal. And you are right that supervision is necessary for the first couple weeks until everyone gets used to it. But using the bathroom being of whatever gender should not be a big deal, we all do it at home.
My mother was in a wheelchair and needed help using some public toilets. I, as a male, went into several women's bathrooms to assist and never heard one word of complaint from anyone. The women went about their business (which I could hear) but I never had one single person complain or be afraid. This is a made up problem.
