No more separate restrooms for boys and girls, with rows of feet-showing stalls. The North Kansas City school district is going fully gender neutral at two new elementary schools, opening on Wednesday, as well as in a few renovated restrooms in North Kansas City High School and the sixth-grade centers.
The bathrooms still have an open alcove area with a common trough sink, but the toilets are enclosed inside individual stalls with floor-to-ceiling walls and lockable doors.

When are there going to be "gender-neutral" locker rooms as well?
What could go wrong?
Boys have to love this..
We had a gender-neutral coat room when I was in elementary school.
A more accurate title would describe this as a gender neutral sink area, with a bunch of single stall restrooms adjacent. A somewhat clever way of circumventing the fake controversy.

“A more accurate title would describe this as a gender neutral sink area, with a bunch of single stall restrooms adjacent.”
It would be a “fake controversy” if each person had their own private restroom. There is a big difference between a wall and a partition.
I wonder how long the locks will last on those stall doors.
Boys, especially in the younger grades, pee all over the place. Teenaged girls can be gross in another way. Will there be a bathroom monitor who cleans up after each user? Perhaps it’s a plot to induce visceral revulsion of the other sex.
At best, no longer than they last on other public restroom doors. They’ll be more private for those who are smoking or using drugs, though.
Did you look at the photo in the story? The doors go from floor to top of frame. These are not partitions.
I guess that does away with urinals, unless each urinal has its own stall. This is the benefit of being a boy, doing the quick and easy on the fly. No more.
Growing up, we had full length urinals and would have distance contests to see who could span the most floor distance. That fun’s over.
Or having sex (rape.)
There was a photo at the article. These really ARE fully enclosed, individual closets, with wood doors that lock. A complete waste of money to satisfy and agenda. Probably coast 5x the cost of simple, free-standing partitions.
Maybe the queers ARE trying to put normal people into the closet now?
That, too. When I was in high school, the girls who were smoking and doing drugs wouldn’t have put up with any interruption from males. Probably not the same situation on the boys’ side, though.
There was a rarely-used toilet on the second floor, far end of the Business Skills hall, but I still learned to go an awfully long time without using the bathroom. Drives my family crazy when we go on trips.
Some young boys will. Others will be as creeped out as we are, sadly.
At least till some kid has a problem or panics for some reason and gets locked in or won’t come out.
It wasn’t too many years ago when the parents had a voice, or could voice their complaints, and would receive consideration, often causing changes to made by administrators. What happened to those strong PTA’s?
These people obviously don’t know that one of the things women hate most is a rest room where you can’t see feet under the door and don’t know if you’re in there alone or not.
Once upon a time, you might have been heard if the loony had been standing on the toilet seat and dragged you into a more open stall, but now, forget it. He doesn’t even have to stand on the toilet seat because you won’t know until you open the door. And then nobody’s going to hear you or see that anything weird is going on. Building these closed spaces is a serious mistake.
