It’s now a topic of political debate in many places, but while some are questioning whether schools should have gender-neutral bathrooms, Johnson Senior High School has had them long enough to have answers on the impact they have on students.
My conservative parents were sketched out by the concept of all gender washrooms, until I took them to a cafe that had them. It was just a small hallway with like 6 mini, private bathrooms with a sink and everything. It’s so much better, and I can poop in peace.
Conservative media makes all gender washrooms sound like a back alley full of rapists. It rots boomer brains.
Personally, I’ve always thought it was insane we design our public bathrooms to put our pooping and peeing on display to anyone who walks by. I guess the puritanical were worried about what sins we might get up to if we had some actual privacy. Take away the banks of urinals and stalls with half inch gaps between the panels, and wouldn’t you know it, all the issues about who gets to use which bathroom disappear. And, as an added bonus, you don’t have to be embarrassed by a loud fart, smelly shit, or shy bladder.
