Transgender Students Should Reside in Their Gender's Hall

"I don't think that many people are desperate enough to go through all that trouble just to perv on people. " Well the idea of it is that if they tried, they would be found out by the professional.I know. That's why I said that was a good idea. I was agreeing with your point on that one, but I thought of something else. Are school therapists trained to determine GID? Are there extra costs involved? If there are, who would cover these expenses? "This has to do with how gyms, changing rooms, fitting rooms, public bathroom are separated[sic] by sex." And why is that?Right after that comment, I have a whole paragraph explaining why it's like that. That's why it's all in one paragraph. That statement was the main idea of the paragraph. "The majority of people are hetereosexual[sic], and the majority of people are cisgendered." Oh I see, because if people aren't the majority, then they don't matter.I never said they don't matter. After I talked about the majority, I made sure to say "Nevertheless, that does not mean accommodations cannot be made for transgenderd people" in the very same paragraph. Then I proposed the gender neutral option. I'll talk about this more when I give the source for universities providing gender neutral bathrooms when transgendered students complained about harassment. "Many transgendered people complained about harassment so universities provide the gender neutal[sic] option to hinder these issues." Could you provide your sources?"Many of the universities that have created gender-neutral bathrooms did so in response to transgender students’ complaints of harassment or discrimination." Transgendered people were being harassed and discriminated against so many schools provided the gender neutral option to prevent discrimination and harassment. Brandeis is one university that has opted for the gender neutral option: "...to provide options for 'students who may identify as transgender or are questioning their gender identity or do not wish to prescribe to gender classifications,' to 'decrease heteronormative assumptions regarding housing assignments,' and to supply options for 'students who are uncomfortable with a same-sex roommate or do not wish to have a same-sex roommate.'" http://www.brandeis.edu...Creating a separate option is not acceptance, it is still discrimination. African Americans were provided with their own facilities, and yet they were not happy. This was because that separate is not equal, no matter how nice it is.Blacks being segregated is a different story. Their facilities did not have as good quality as the facilities for white people. Also, everything was separated: schools, drinking fountains, etc. This was based on racism. The gender neutral option is not based on racism or negative discrimination. It's based on preventing harassment and for safety reasons. The following quotes from the previous link can explain this. For example, "The Transgender Law and Policy Institute states that more than 150 colleges and universities have gender-neutral bathrooms on-campus currently, and the numbers keep growing." This Institute works to help transgendered people. It doesn't promote discrimination. This institution seems to be for giving the gender neural option. As I cited before, this option helps to prevent discrimination and harassment. Transgendered people were being harassed and discriminated against when they used bathrooms with the gender they identify with. Thus, the gender neutral option came to prevent harassment. This, of course, extends to living situations like dormitories. This is a reason why the gender neutral option is better than the idea you suggest.
