This is not a legal issue or a political issue. It is a privacy issue. A person’s sexual orientation is a private matter. A person should not have to openly declare their sexual orientation. In public school buildings individuals should be allowed to use the locker room or bathroom of their choice. “Boys” would use the boy’s bathroom and “girls” would use the girl’s bathroom. To insure privacy urinals should be removed and bathroom stalls should be floor to ceiling with lockable doors. The entrance to hallway bathrooms should be a large opening with no door to allow the sink area to be visible and monitored from the hallway. Using a toilet is a private activity, washing one’s hands is not a private activity. In locker rooms, shower stalls should be larger with a lockable door. An area inside the shower stall should be provided to allow individuals to bring in their clothes and dress up before they leave the shower stall. There are usually several single toilet lockable bathrooms available where transgender individuals have never had a problem using. Let’s keep a person’s sexuality private. The renovation costs should not be unreasonable.
