Gender neutral bathrooms becoming topic of interest in schools

A student walks up to the door of the girls bathroom, hunching their shoulders and sighing wearily, distress clear in their features. Taking a deep breath, they open the door and walk in. This is everyday for the gender-variant students at most high schools. The lack of gender neutral bathrooms is leading to even worse dysphoria and anxiety in the growing numbers of gender-variant kids. Because of social media information is easier to get a hold of and these kids finally have terms and labels to put to how they feel, and this makes them understand themselves so much easier. But schools are still refusing to acknowledge this change, still believing in the set rules of the gender binary. Gender neutral bathrooms, and the protection of gender identity in general would help so much with school productivity and motivation, because when people feel valid and comfortable in their bodies and around other people, grades and participation and generally being a healthy happy person will improve. These bathrooms would start to lessen the epidemic of depression that is steadily rising in the majority of trans students. "I think that believing in a set gender binary is hurtful." Said freshman student Miranda Hynes. This just goes to show that despite the fact that we are teenagers and we are changing, we are still aware of the danger of the ideals the older generation is pushing onto us. It's okay to challenge people and to think these "strange' things, or to try and change to world into a better place that people can feel safe in. 

       "I can understand some teachers and administrators being concerned with boys and girls using the same bathroom, but then again, by doing that you aren't including everyone." said Hynes. How is it that kids from 14-18 can understand how hurtful this binary ideal is, but grown adults can't?  With the logic being used by some parents and teachers, they are more mature and knowledgeable about most everything that we are stilll learning about.
