However, with multiple restroom booths open to both genders post greater potential to crime. I do not think it belongs to our rape and pornography culture especially with sex offenders, and child sex predators. I feel it also posts a greater potential risk to boundary issues. In addition, in my home state, there is a high rate of sex trafficking. With the transgender allowance in multiple booth restroom, I do not feel the new transgender restroom wouldn't help reducing the sex problem in our society.
For example, a person noted that the restroom is open to both genders and goes in taking advantage of an opportunity for a sex victim. Not many children are strong enough to say no. Also, they often find themselves helpless. So many children live in a controlling family so when the child approaches an adult with controlling behavior, the child would think it is okay to listen to that stranger because of where the child comes from.
As a mother, I have to work harder to stay with my children. The transgender restroom especially in multiple booth restroom gives less independence, privacy, security, and safety especially in restroom for children.
As much we want to make a better place for our children, an individual restroom is ideal for transgender person. Maybe companies and stores can offer an individual restroom similar to portable potty.
I propose the rules of nongender specified restroom:
- Individual use
- Family use
- Parental supervision by the restroom door
