Trans student told she can’t use women’s toilet at college

A transgender student in North Carolina says a campus security officer asked her for identification to verify her gender after she exited the women’s toilet.

The incident occurred on 19 March at Piedmont Community College in Charlotte.

Andraya Williams, 22, says she was escorted off campus by several guards and suspended after using the facility...

It’s alleged Ms Williams was told that as a transgender person, she has “no legal rights.”

It's also what most people had in their homes growing up.

What a bizarre perverted concept! Males and females (and any others) sitting on the same toilet.

No not at the same time.

My college dorm freshman year had them, and it wasn't a problem for anyone AFAIK.
