Arizona voters approved a ballot measure to ban transgender students from using preferred bathrooms and locker rooms, according to a race call by the Associated Press.
I was using the bathroom at a small restaurant recently, both bathrooms were single occupancy but they were marked as male and female, and I was just thinking “why do they bother?” What is the fucking point of gender segregating single occupancy bathrooms? If two women or two men need to use the bathroom at the same time, theyre supposed to wait in line even though it wouldnt hurt anyone to just use the other empty bathroom? It just highlights how damn arbitrary segregating by gender is
I’ve not seen the inside of a girls’ bathroom in a highschool, but I have seen the inside of a boys’ bathroom and let me tell you, I would not want to inflict having to share that bathroom on the girls.
And honestly for a school it makes sense to have larger bathrooms. Time between classes can be short causing a rush for bathrooms. With limited building space, individual bathrooms would be a lot.
OR… or you could have genderless bathrooms?

Women’s bathrooms can be worse. Especially when they hover and miss. Just make genderless rooms, everyone is gross.
