I teach at a middle school, and we can't effectively police the rest rooms (fear of sexual harassment complaints, for real), but we had lots of complaints of harassment against TG students. So we opened the faculty restrooms to them (only room for one each), took down the men/women signs, and replaced them with "Whichever" signs. I am very proud of my school, not so much for this action (it came too late, and we do need to police the restrooms somehow) but for our huge LGBTQ program, which makes it truly ok to be out, but we let he TG kids down for too long. We addressed it in the end though with a very assertive new principal who would not tolerate bigotry of any kind.

Beena Plumber My school has a lot of issues with transgender students. The teachers and faculty are amazing and are very supportive, but students, not so much. I’ve been sexually harassed and bullied for being trans, which is why I never use public restrooms. Many other trans people often have the same experience. Sexual harassment and verbal bullying is unfortunately very common and I was unaware that the way many treated trans people, especially trans women, was very inappropriate because I thought it was common.

Just imagine if all the money spent on political influence was instead invested into the country. We would ALL be in such better shape. We'd probably have high speed rails where needed, a fixed power grid, a large middle-class again, affordable electric cars, affordable and quality healthcare, and SO much more! I don't know how other people feel, but in my lifetime population has doubled, and quality of life has gone down. I do not want to live in the US with 500 million people. To me, it's already too crowded here and rents are way too high. In the 70's, a 2-bed, 1-bath bungalow style home cost $21k, but it's as if when women started working more, a bunch of men got together and put an end to an affordable life in the US, out of spite! Back then men could afford to buy a house alone, now, a home is barely affordable for two people with NO KIDS.
