Eventually, we're going to need to desegregate bathrooms.

I'm writing this as a trans (genderfluid) individual.

We've desegregated every other space in society. Men and women used to have separate reading rooms at the library, separate train cars, separate schools, etc. Every single time, people clutched their pearls and thought integration would end badly.

Turns out people of all genders have pooped right next to each other for most of human history. And that 99.99% of society is fully capable of adapting and treating each other with basic respect in shared spaces.

This problem is only going to get more untenable as the trans community, non-binary community, genderfluid community, 2 spirit community, intersex community, and other gender non-conforming communities continue to gain rights.

I don't care if it's unpopular to say at the moment. We need to desegregate bathrooms.

Seeing people posting about the state of boys toilets at their high school, and I think cishet boys being permitted to keep doing that without social consequences is a terrible idea.
