    With all the transgender and gender fluid issues effecting our young people, surely the best solution is to have just one unisex changing room for PE lessons ?

    If they could have enough disabled toilets first then decide on whatever your having yourself it would be a start.

    Hardly! As a kid I was so self conscious I was too embarrassed to get changed in front of people my own gender.
    I think you need to take everyone's feelings into account. A
    A lot of children aren't trans or gender fluid. A lot of teens have hang ups about their body and are self conscious infront of the opposite sex.
    Their feelings aren't any less valid than someone else

    Take down the signs that say Male and Female. Put up ones instead that say Cocks and Cunts.
    No ambiguity whatsoever. 'Problem' solved.

    Actually, the OP has a point.

    I don't agree with unisex toilets, I don't think allowing LGBT toilets is a pressing issue even if it seems right on at the moment...but on the other hand as a democrat if that's what people want let's embrace it in all its forms.

    Bad, bad idea. Teens are self conscious enough as it is. Not to mention having curious testosterone, hormonal teens sharing same room, changing, what could go wrong......

    I collect and bottle my gender fluid. Rather like Howard Hughes.

    Ho Ho Ho I like it. Imagine the potential "divide by zero" errors if this was enforced everywhere.

    So we have the gender fluid people wanting unisex and muslims wanting total segregation..how is this going to work???

    This is just unworkable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,616 ✭✭✭Fox_In_Socks


    Easy. Segregate your gender fluids. Be hygenic.

    With all of the self esteem issues young people have these days, in what universe would this be a good idea?
