99% uncomfortable so 1% can be comfortable.

Why does there need to be a vote about such things? Is it not common sense?

[artturnley]

Love how they stress the feelings of trans but ignore everyone else.

[blevins]

So, these parents think that their SON’s delusions get to override the feelings of all these young ladies? Protect our girls!

[madelinemardigan]

Why don't they care about the other parents

[datasecure]

We need to re-open the asylums in America.

Meanwhile, our country is imploding. Bring back common sense and use the time and energy with real-life issues that are causing bigger problems. Also, do better with getting adequate mental health care. Our society is failing. Those in charge will have a huge problem once the Western world fails. Good luck spending your way out of the society that's being created. It's not going to go as you think. Repercussions will suck, badly! Just my observation.

Time to start home schooling people. End the indoctrination cycle. Public schooling was the worst idea ever.

[MrsHBuchner]

Those parents need parenting class, do not go along with someone’s delusions. They need to get help for those kids

[carolthorson]

Worried about your child's mental issues because they can't use their preferred toilet, time to take them to a shrink, which should have happened in the first place. Just because they feel like they are in the wrong body, the body they have still dictates what bathroom they use.

Its about time its been addressed. A decade ago a bio male dressing in a ladies lockeroom would have been arrested and charged with sexual assault. How is it there are people who think this is even remotely okay?

[OnlyLoveIsWelcome]

All toilets in every household are gender neutral but put the word public or school in front of the word bathroom and y'all make things so weird

[erinngunn]

Canadian high-schools already have 3 bathroom choices. solves a problem of having boys going into girls bathrooms and vice versa. done. I mean in most public places you have 3 choices. female, male, family.

[greghackstaff]

Rights are for everyone. When exercising your rights takes away someone else's rights, that's where the line is. My daughter has the right to use the bathroom in the traditional way. Without a stranger, with a beard, staring at her.

[Wuflu]

All that people that moved from those trashed states. Now trashing Ohio. Sad . Country going hell in a hand básquet …

[macazootie]

it's about time we stop placating & catering to the narcissists

[amandafamiano]

Easy solution make them their own bathroom you have enough money for illegal immigrants

[lucyflores]

They need to stop harassing our children, Trans need there own private schools so we can set them apart see how many kids are actually affected. But it's not funded by me, let the parent invest in there special education.

[stevehoskins]

WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE AFFIRMING PSYCHOSIS???

[TeresaFerguson-lz]

Parents are allowing their children their delusions
