CHICAGO — Asked to call a transgender boy by a male name he has chosen for himself, teachers and administrators around the country have leaned toward a simple response: Sure. Allow a high school student who was born male but identifies as female to join the volleyball team? Fine.

But as transgender students assert themselves more, schools have hesitated at the locker room and the bathroom. Many have developed policies that require transgender students to use private changing and showering facilities, drawing opposition from these students, their parents and advocates who say the rules are discriminatory.

There shouldn't be an issue with any transgender boy or girl to enter a lockeroom or bathroom with the gender they identify as. The funny thing is is that from my experience no one gets fully naked in the locker room anyways just under garments. There are stalls in bathroom and locker room for anybody transgender/cis to change in or go to bathroom. It's as simple as that.
