The students we talked to at Dickinson didn't really seem care that some single stall bathrooms will now be unisex. Every student we talked to didn't seem to think it was a big deal. But, others would completely disagree.   

[...]

With that in mind: consider going to the bathroom. For most of us, there's no stress involved. But, for many transgender people, this presents a huge problem. Jeanine says when a transgender man or woman goes into a bathroom they are automatically afraid that their peers won't accept them. But, if they go into the other bathroom, they are not legally allowed to be here.

"It's a big deal for transgender people," adds Jeanine. "But in the big picture it's just about people going to the bathroom."
