I, and many I knew, would 100% identify as female just to walk into the girls bathroom at school.

Communal bathrooms are the problem not who's allowed to use them. if you're a non conforming kid PLEASE just use the disabled bathroom for your own safety.

Then you and many you knew should’ve been brought up with better manners.

well let me just get into my time machine and ... wait what was your fucking point?

maybe a school should work with what they've got instead of complaining about things that literally can't be changed and putting children in danger. or don't, I don't really care.

I think their point is that you’re the outlier here. I was a teenage boy in school. I’ve literally never seen or heard of someone doing what you described. Normal people are not sexualizing the bathroom, that’s something you’ve come to on your own and that conservatives have this weird interest in for some reason. Maybe you should stop worrying about people taking a dump and just let people do what they want? The only reason this shit is even necessary is because conservatives want to try and legislate away the existence of LGBTQ+ people.

sexualizing the bathroom

Jesus Christ it really is all just projection isn't it.

Kids are going to be drawn to forbidden things and boys are going to do stupid shit, of course you never heard of this brand new thing when you where a kid. IT'S A NEW THING. this is just a new rule to mess with and all it requires is for you to make a claim and no matter how much you think it's a matter of better education kids will will mess with it because kids are fucking awful.
