Already today I’ve learned that some opinions are more equal than others.

The bathrooms I saw in Europe were much better than the US in that they did not use the same style of stalls with metal doors and big cracks that you can see through on the sides and the top and bottom exposed. I didn’t see this in Europe. Instead, their stalls were always completely private with walls to the floor and ceiling and a full door that you close, this privacy alone is a great improvement over our US bathrooms.

Not to mention the stalls that don't even have doors. I see that more and more these days. That might be more common in the male restrooms though but I wouldn't know.

People just need a hologram around their private area....vicinity

Yes.

Because one kid might notice one had something 'different' and then all sort of problems start...that's what could and can happen. Kids are innocent and curious and they don't really know what to do and not to do at certain times.

Why would I feel uncomfortable sharing the bathroom with the opposite sex?

Pervy side kicking in.. YES.

but in all seriousness, I wouldn't mind, especially for someone who is ridiculously rejected from both sides because he/she is a transgender. Hell, I'd make another restroom in the middle just for them if I could.

I really wouldn't mind. As someone who works with teeanagers, I can understand why the parents and officials are hesitant in this case. Kids start wondering and exploring about their sexuality at a very young age. That's not say little girls and boys are turning tricks in the bathrooms. From my personale experience its best not to create opportunities for things to happen, especially with the attitudes school officials have about sex and sexuality.

I don't feel comfortable sharing the bathroom with people in general, the addition of females wouldn't change anything.

then you would be good at this game:

- you have to decide where to go in the bathroom provided certain circumstances... its almost funny

Overall I think there's just too much unnecessary "ick" going around when people are thinking about what body parts someone else does or doesn't have.

Usually at airports, for example, you have a women's restroom right next to a men's restroom. What's the difference between that and just having one big restroom for everybody (ie unisex)? I don't care if the person in the stall next to me is the opposite sex or not, since the person in the restroom next to me probably is.

When I'm going to the restroom all I care about is doing my thing, washing up and continuing with my day. And there will always be peepers, ones who peep on people of the same sex and others who do it on the opposite sex. So no matter what the setup is some people choose not to just mind their own business. And when everyone does mind their own business it doesn't matter one squat who or what is in the bathroom with me.

So to answer the OP question, anyone who thinks it's wrong to let this transgendered child to use the restroom of the gender she identifies with, is just way excessively puritan and squeamish and needs a time machine to go back to the 1700's where you came from.

This would force me to confront the fact that girls poop and fart too on a daily basis, so no.

That's adorbs

I sat next to someone on the bus who was the opposite sex. All I could think about was how close this person's genitals were to mine. Very distracting.

If we need laws solely to make sure all penises and all vaginas go to the right restroom, then we need to sex-segregate our entire public transportation system.
