Yes, that's why I still maintain that while considerations should be made, considerations for all should be made. Some people don't feel comfortable and I don't blame them, but I don't blame the transgender people for who they are either.
Still, you have a daughter don't you? Do you want a person with a penis sharing her bathroom and locker room?
I don't blame them for who they are but they should realize that they are different and if their scool or place of work makes special accomodations for them they should accept it without complaint. I don't know if any research has been done to see if trannies are physically different in maybe their DNA or something but if they aren't it's probably a mental illness.
I might have missed it, but why are all of the cases I can remember about males that identify as females needing the accommodation? I don't think many teen males would have a problem with a person born a female wanting to shower with them. I could be wrong. Sorry LaSalle, I took it as you supporting this case which demanded showers be available. I have two daughters, and if one wants to be a dude, I will hug her and tell her that is ok, but you need to use the "family" restroom in public. It is where I changed diapers, took them to pee, etc... I do think with this being an issue, new schools should have a "family" bathroom installed. For all that say it singles out the different person, then we should only have handicapped bathrooms and school should be tuned into the autistic only? Common sense needs to apply.
This is a problem that is not about blaming the Trans! It is a personal privacy issue, too. It is why new school and medical facilities are getting away from a few, large gendered communal restrooms and going to dozens of single-user unisex restrooms. That solves that problem, but locker rooms are different. It is impractical and unreasonable to make individual locker-room/shower facilities for large sports teams or even larger PE classes. There is a reasonable limit to accommodation. Moreover some accommodation must be expected of the Trans, too. Everything works better with some cooperation and concessions all around.
I understand that you are sympathetic, you don't blame anyone, you have a new personal situation related to thise etc but what would you say should happen in this situation? What specifically is the right thing to do? We're all sympathetic to upsetting people to different extents but what would you suggest here?
