Transgender and gender-nonbinary US teens -- those whose sexual identity falls outside the traditional male and female -- are at greater risk of sexual assault at schools that deny them access to bathrooms or locker rooms that match their sexual identity, according to a new study.
Researchers analyzed data from 3,673 adolescents in the LGBTQ Teen Study, an anonymous web-based survey of US kids ages 13 to 17. Students who reported being told by teachers or staff that they could not use restrooms or locker rooms consistent with their sexual identity at school were classified as having"restrictive access."Just over 1 out of every 4 students in the study, or 25.9%, reported being a victim of sexual assault in the past 12 months.
Some schools have designated all-gender restrooms that can be used by any student. Although this can be useful, Murchison warns that it should not be the only option available for trans and gender-nonbinary students. CNN's Ralph Ellis, Holly Yan and Nick Valencia contributed to this report.
JDoeJustice So sick of this nonsense.
That would only be a surprise to anyone who never went to a school. Kids are mean and pick on anyone who is different.
Wtf is gender non-binary?
There are only two sexes. If you have a penis use the men’s bathroom, if you have a vagina use the woman’s bathroom.
in other news, the sky is blue
You're talking about a bunch of completely imaginary made up BS.
They get attacked by the other kids because it's stupid. You can't be gender fluid and jump into the girls locker room one day and the boys the next. You're going to get punched in the face because no sane person is going to put up with that nonsense.
Back in my day there was a kid who hung out in the bathroom at school a lot. He was called the bathroom lizard. He was also into lizards.
Genderqueer also known as non-binary is a catch-all category for gender identities that are not exclusively masculine or feminine that are outside the gender binary and cisnormativity people may express a combination of masculinity and femininity or neither in their gender world
So by bathroom restrictions u mean, if u have a penis use the boys room? This should never be complicated.

How about a clear get to the point sign on the door, not a sign a person would rather sigh before. A strong sign, one that says freedom, one that makes LIFE not so hard one that says no people matters here but feces & urine. Wash your face, wash your hands even etc... Restroom
And what about the normal people who use the correct bathroom based on their real sex?
😆😆😆
So 99% of the country has to bend backwards for 1% of criips ?
What about those of us who have special companion dogs? You certainly cannot expect me and my dog to use those bathroons. I need my own bathroom too.
People who have a penis should use the boys bathroom. People who have a vagina should use the girls bathroom!! Problem solved!!
And DeVos says she knows this and still decides to force transgender students to use bathroom of their sec at birth. DeVos= cunt
So nonbinary ones can go one day to men's locker room and one day to women's? Or just change in the hallway as they are non?
“I only believe in statistics that I doctored myself” ― Winston S. Churchill And no one can believe anything what comes out from gender studies.
Just have unisex bathrooms and crack down strongly on any reported harassment!
I can easily see that restrooms would be a huge danger zone for intolerant thugs to beat-up the innocent. Schools cannot ignore this threat!

....мы жизнеспособней...
Oh stop it.
Like always, cnn pushing their political correctness agenda...🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮poisoning peoples mind.
This..... is CNN.
The simple solution is to make all bathrooms (restrooms) unisex or generic, no male, no female, no other, and no decisions just go and please wash your hands.
People are who they are and I have no issue with it, but I think this is going too far. You can't honestly expect the entire country to start having specific bathrooms for all the various alternative life styles... it's ludacris.
when did CNN turn into The Onion?
It’s terrible illness to have.
The problem is not the bathrooms, is it? So, why should girls and women pay for the illness of some? I speak of opening this door in society where females pay the consequences of the evils that accompany gender neutrality
Boys (penis). Girls (vagina). The end. All the rest is mental illness & dress up.
“Researchers analyzed data from 3,673 adolescents in the LGBTQ Teen Study, an anonymous web-based survey of US kids ages 13 to 17.” This is not a study, this is a survey. It sounds more like these participants were talking about bullying rather than “Sexual Assault”.
This wouldn’t be happening if they had a place dedicated for them 🤷🏽♀️ it wouldn’t be that hard to make a unisex bathroom/locker room
Thanks in part to the identity driven MSM.
Good for them. They want to change their natural gender. Thank God Nigeria doesn't tolerate this useless transgender nonsense
