Boys using girls toilets

Hi I’d just like people’s opinions on whether they think this is wrong. My granddaughter who’s 15 was upset yesterday because of the new system at school whereby the toilets are mixed. Apparently because of the way they’re all split into groups it’s the only way they can all use a toilet closer to them. My dgd knew of the changes during the holidays and worried about it, she knew the boys would cause problems, which they have.

The problem yesterday was the fact. that a group of boys were upsetting the girls by banging on the doors, shouting rude comments, and basically loitering doing their best to cause mayhem. My dgd suffers from very heavy periods and hated the fact that boys were immediately outside her cubicle whilst she sorted herself out.

My dd phoned the school to complain because there was supposed to be an undertaking that these toilets were monitored during break time and they weren’t. Do you all think this is wrong, and if so, is there any solution? Thanks in advance.

Yes a lot of people suggested I put it on here. I asked MN to move it but they didn’t.

I think OP was advised to transfer the thread to the feminism board, to benefit from the legal advice and expertise on here, when dealing with the school. Assuming it’s the same OP that I think it is!

Shame on the adults who allow this. Of course the boys are going to play up. The girls are being trained to accept the loss of their facilities and rights, because men have decided women shouldn't have them.

Didn’t you post this earlier in the week?

This is so wrong, I'm so sorry your DGD has this happen. Can she stay home?
