Story by Brad Brooks (28 Jan 2025)

(Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Education said on Tuesday it is investigating the Denver schools system for allegedly discriminating against women and girls by converting a female bathroom to all-gender.

The department said in a written statement that "as a result, East High School now has an exclusive restroom for male students and no restroom for female students on its second floor."

The department also said it had received reports of all-gender restrooms in at least two other Denver schools.

Scott Pribble, a spokesperson for the school district, told NBC affiliate 9News earlier this month that the change was aimed at allowing more kids to use the same bathroom for the sake of convenience.

The Department of Education's Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor said in the statement: "Let me be clear: it is a new day in America, and under President Trump, (the Education Department's Office of Civil Rights) will not tolerate discrimination of any kind."

In a Tuesday letter sent to Denver Public Schools Superintendent Alex Marrero, Trainor cited Title IX as the basis for the investigation, saying it prohibits "discrimination on the basis of sex in any education program or activity operated by a recipient of federal financial assistance from the Department."

I am concerned that the Department of Education lacks the reasoning skills necessary to understand that "all-genders" includes female students. That no one is being discriminated against when everyone is included.

I think there is an all gender bathroom with many stalls in the Seattle (SeaTac) airport,
D gate wing, although there is a separate room for urinals.  It has been there for a while.



Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.
