I spent enough time living in other countries to be amused at America's fixation with where and how people pee.

Now all a perv has to do is dress up in women's clothing to legally access women's bathrooms.

Wonderful.

As to this article, it looks like an enterprising young man just found a way to get a free look at all his female classmates' goodies. Kinda brilliant, in a pervy way.

It took me about a year to get used to the public restrooms in virtually ever bar and restaurant in Korea.  There were no men's and women's bathroom.  There would be one bathroom with a urinal to the left, a dividing wall, and a toilet to the right.  It was quite disconcerting the first time I found myself taking care of business and some girl would come sit down on the other side of the wall and take care of hers.  As time passed, it become the most blase, nonsexual thing imaginable.  Those days were when I learned the horrifying truth that girls do indeed poop.  

As an aside, there was never toilet paper in the bathrooms, but there was always a roll on each table because, you know, napkins expensive.  So if you needed to go take care of some serious business, you had to announce it to God and country by taking what you hoped would be the appropriate amount of toilet paper from the table before taking the walk of shame to the restroom.

These are definitely new times taking us into uncharted waters regarding discrimination battles. I'm all about letting people be free to choose who they want to be or who they want to be with. However, the school did set something up for her to have her own changing spot. I always have that issue of comparing things like this to the civil rights battles of the past because minorities, such as myself, can't change color willfully. Now, I fully believe people are born gay or transgendered but  situations like this can be really confusing. When you're in position of authority and have to make decisions on how to handle situations such as these it's a "damned if you  damned if you don't" kind of deal.
