Parents rejecting gender neutral (unisex) toilets

Schools should have a couple of mixed sex toilets

Yes, one for the (non binary) boys and one for the the (non binary) girls. So everyone.

Dd's school; have now locked all the usual toilets and the only ones open are gender neutral.

Sorry Troels, are you saying they are deliberately restricting the facilities to force compliance? How does that work? Why aren't all the loos mixed sex in that case?

Children over the age of 8 have the right to single sex toilets.

Locking some toilets to force pupils to use others is surely something the local council could look into? It comes across as punitive.

I've been encouraging her to get her friends toogether and protest this.

I think I'd be complaining about this myself. Is there a reason why you're not getting involved?

Dd's school; have now locked all the usual toilets and the only ones open are gender neutral. She and her friends refuse to go all day now. She's using a night time pad for her period so she doesn't have to go. Luckily she has light periods.
I've been encouraging her to get her friends toogether and protest this. I'm pretty sure the boys don't like it either, she says.
Bloody rediculous.

xxyzz As schools are evidently only listening to Stonewall etc and not children (whatever happened to "pupil voice"?) it's now up to parents to protect their children. Who'd have thought we would end up here.

Schools should have a couple of mixed sex toilets. It takes the pressure off a school if any bullying activist groups get involved as there are already 'gender neutral' facilities for use by gender non conforming children. It also allows schools to ensure that other children are not coerced into sharing toilets with the opposite sex.

They tried to do this at my ds's school.

They started by converting one set of toilets to gender neutral, suggestions it would be rolled out across the school. No discussion with kids or parents beforehand. But after the school had become Stonewall awarded or whatever the term is.

Cue lots of upset kids refusing to use these loos (including my ds), lots of very vocally unhappy parents making their feelings clear to the lovely but slightly woke Head.

Surprise surprise, no more gender neutral loos introduced!

Interesting, New Parks is one of Leicester's most deprived wards, and the outer estates and the west of the city, where this school is, tend to be less ethnically mixed than inner city and east Leicester. I don't know anything about the profile of this school, but it's probably not a middle class protest and less likely to be driven by religion than in other areas, if it's just locals signing the petition.

It depends on what exactly they've done, but 'redesignating' some of them nearly always means removing girls loos and leaving boys ones alone if they have urinals. (I don't know if they're the norm in school toilets nowadays)

Children aren't asking for mixed sex toilets. Women (and most men) don't want mixed sex toilets. Yet they are being imposed on all of us. Why?

Transgender Trend have a recent blog about this:

Good. Hate them.

Will it make any difference though?
