In reply to the discussion: Why should someone who is transgender not use the facilities they identify with? [View all]As a gay man, I did not know about breast pimples (thanks!).
I hated lockerrooms when I was in school (and communal showers). I'm just saying from an adult prospective it should not be a big deal. Trans or not, just changing into gym shorts isn't worth having a fight over or making laws. No trans kid cares about what the person next to them looks like unless they want to emulate some aspect of their appearance.They're not even really getting naked, just changing their outer garments. I think most schools now have shower stalls where the kids get a little privacy. Communal showers are a thing of the past (thankfully).

Perhaps the state would have an Official Genital Inspector to settle this question.

Here's the thing: predators aren't going to care whether or not it's "legal".
