Colorado parents of transgender 1st-grader file complaint over restroom ban

Well, yeah, that would be asinine I see that. In my minds eye I was speaking about a one bathroom unit that either sex can go into, just like at the movie theatre. My bad

Actually, it would be extremely helpful to have those.

I have a friend who was born with both male and female genitals and pretty much lives between the genders. When he was in school, the principal refused to let him use the majority of the restrooms in the school because they weren't sure whether he should use the men's room or the women's room. Instead, they told him he could go to the teacher's lounge and use the restroom there since it was the only one on the campus that was gener neutral. The only problem was that the teachers lounge was at one end of the school, far away from where his classes were and it was a pain to have to walk all the way down there when he had to go (made it really easy to be late to class). I can't help but think it would have been incredibly helpful to him if we did away with the gendered toilets; I honestly can't see any real good reasons to have them, anyway.
