In Hanover, Pennsylvania, a far right takeover of the school district led to the creation of 5 separate restroom types and now windows cut into the LGBT+ restrooms for "oversight."

Bathrooms with a view: Cutting windows into student restrooms is a new level of weird

These adults want to make it easier for other people to watch your children while they’re in the bathroom. It’s absolutely mind-boggling.

I went to an open evening just now for my kid’s prospective secondary school (UK). The toilet block was mixed (cubicles identified by gender) but wide open for the washing facilities which were entirely visible from corridor. I think the intention was inclusivity with everyone accepting each other, because it was a completely shared space. A couple of months ago I was at my old uni and the toilets there were the same. Maybe it’s workplaces that need to catch up?

Now I admit perhaps they could have also had some non-binary cubicles, and it’s possible they did and I just didn’t see them…but making the majority of the space shared but open seemed less threatening and closed off than what I remember my high school girls toilets to be like.

I think the floor to ceiling doors with no ridiculous gap when closed still allowed for complete privacy in the cubicles too.
