While it’s hard to estimate a percentage of transsexuals, and how you define that terms makes things more ambiguous, it’s quite obvious it’s a very, very small part of the population.
So why submit an entire school to unisex toilets in hopes that you encourage some sort of tolerance for a minuscule percentage of the population?
It’s the same old liberal/communist mindset to reduce our individuality and our morality in order to herd us under one easy to control flock of sheep.
“This was just introduced from the start of term and no one told us before. There are seven-year-old girls using the same toilets as 11-year-old boys.
“My daughter has said she doesn’t feel comfortable about it. Although we are all up for equality we feel this is not allowing our children to choose.
“A lot of our children don’t want to use toilets of the opposite sex.”
Headteacher Christine Terrey said the decision to include single sex toilets in their new building had been taken by East Sussex County Council.
She has invited parents to a meeting on ‘transphobia’, which will include a discussion about the toilets.
Mrs Terrey said: “The toilets are all in cubicles and they all lock. We just want all our children to be able to use the toilets.
“We no longer have urinals because they were quite unpopular with the boys.”
And a letter to parents said: “We want all the children in our school to feel safe and be happy.
“We also want our families to feel informed about how to effectively support transgender and gender questioning by their children, preventing any transphobia at the school.”
East Sussex County Council said it chose to install unisex toilets because they are better for ‘hygiene, maintenance and pupil behaviour’.
A spokesman said: “As part of the rebuilding work a decision was taken to install toilets which could be used by boys or girls, with lockable cubicles.
“Unisex toilet blocks are considered preferable in terms of hygiene, maintenance and pupil behaviour.
“We feel this kind of toilet block, which complies with all national guidelines, is an appropriate solution for children of primary school age.
“We are not aware of any cases of children being reluctant to use the new toilets.
“On the contrary, the feedback we have received from the vast majority of parents, children and staff has been overwhelmingly positive.
“As an authority we feel it’s important to provide a safe, welcoming environment in our schools for all pupils.”
One father, who asked to remain anonymous, said: “I am disappointed that we were not consulted.
“I understand the rationale for doing it but I am disappointed with how the changes have happened.”
Marcus Clark, 36, and Greta Clark, 33, said their two children do not mind sharing.
Mrs Clark, from Newhaven, East Sussex, said: “If it doesn’t bother the kids, it doesn’t bother us. For anyone below 11, it isn’t an issue.”
Mr Clark added: “I think it’s more than reasonable for kids to share. It’s change isn’t it? Some people don’t like it but we are OK with it.”
This is for pedophile teachers!
What ? TRANSPHOBIA? “the FEAR of TRANSSEXUALs” It is about time someone recognized that All this none sense is affecting our (99% of the children) who know what the difference is between a boy or a girl.
Are these people just plain stupid or just plain crazy-what about personal pride-yes you seperate girls from boys in the bathrooms. Good grief-get a grip
It will get a lot more girls used to a lot more lewd behavior from a lot more boys at a much earlier age. Plus the increased opportunities to be bullied.
The reasons that toilets weren’t co-ed to begin with. School jerks you make me sick.
