The article discusses accommodations for transgender students in U.S. school bathrooms and what sacrifices, if ever, are made for such measures. Topics include the "bathroom ordinance," which was rejected by voters in Houston, Texas, the issue of privacy concerns in bathroom accommodation for transgender students, the legal history of accommodation from religious accommodation in the 1960s and the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act, and the cultural creation of sex-segregation in bathrooms.
