Not all the bathrooms being unisex, just a few for transgendered people. And I'm pretty sure anyone bent on sexually assaulting anyone won't really care if they are in the women's bathroom anyway.

No? But that might be from my thinking men aren't all inherently evil and I'm also not paranoid.

What about concerns that having just a few unisex bathrooms will just help bullies and transphobes to more readily single out and persecute transgender students?

I would have to wonder why those bullies are watching what bathroom anyone goes into.

Because that's what bullies do.

I guess they need lives.

I don't think transgender students will be the only ones using these bathrooms. My friends and I sometimes use the men's bathrooms, because they're usually empty, while the women's bathrooms usually have huge lines. A unisex bathroom would just mean more stalls for everyone.

DA

Are men inherently evil? Of course not. But are teenagers of both sexes pretty evil-inclined for awhile during their development, with boys in particular tending to be so in more physical ways than girls? Yes. Otherwise high school wouldn't drive so many to bullying-related suicide, which only escalates because adults wave it all off by saying things like "don't be paranoid, they're just kids".

That said, I agree that unisex bathrooms probably wouldn't turn into areas of concentrated teenage evil.

All I can say is that in my experience, with stuff I have seen in real life, is that teenage boys are usually physical with their friends, like roughhousing or a tamer Jackass. I have never seen anyone physically bullied when I was a teenager, but this was back before anyone took notice of bullying related suicide that didn't involve gay students, but everyone was scared of the bullied students because they thought they were going to shoot up the schools (Colombine had only happened five years prior to my graduation from high school), so this may be influencing my thinking.

I don't think men are all uniformly evil, and I don't think I'm paranoid either, but I still wouldn't like the idea of running a gauntlet of guys at the urinals while I'm on my way to the stalls.

Of course, making all school bathrooms unisex is not even remotely what the bill does, and it seems like the guy collecting signatures was deliberately misrepresenting it.

[personal profile] sachiko_san 2013-11-07 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, they would probably put the urinals in stalls.

And yes he was.
