(Sweden) School sets up 'gender-neutral' dressing room

School sets up 'gender-neutral' dressing room

A Stockholm high school is set to open a third changing room for transsexual pupils and those who don't want to define themselves as being male or female, a move believed to be the first of its kind in the country.

"It's for people who aren't comfortable being divided into gender stereotypes," Camille Trombetti, who sits on the student council at Södra Latin gymnasium, told The Local.

She said management at the central Stockholm high school at first welcomed the idea.

"They were very positive and welcoming but we had to figure out how to do it practically," said Trombetti, who underlined that the student council has long pushed to expand the rights of LGBT students.
