旧金山小学改建无性别厕所

The school will phase in the other restrooms used by older children over the next few years, including outside bathrooms with multiple stalls.

Ari Braverman, 6, says he too is happy about the bathroom change since he likes to dress like a girl and doesn't discriminate between boys' and girls' toys. Ari's dad, Gedalia Braverman, agreed, saying, 'As parents, you eventually realize it’s not your job to change your child’s personality. It’s not my job to identify and pigeonhole my children’s genders, and certainly it’s not the school’s.'
