<p>I never understand why this worries parents. Students are quite likely to experiment and do things that their parents may not approve of, whether that is in relation to sexuality, substances, or simply lifestyles. Bathrooms being gender neutral has nothing to do with that, and everything to do with maximizing the comfort of all students in a place (thus it being up to student vote, and not simply an overarching policy). Think about it, you wake up in the morning, walk over to the bathroom, brush your teeth, take a quick shower, and get ready for class. You may see someone of the opposite gender in a towel, but you think nothing of it, they’re your neighbor and likely your friend. Students may find it strange at first, but within a week, that tends to disappear. The dorm is your home, and you share it with many other people. It is not as if sharing your bathroom with the opposite gender will promote moral debauchery or really any sort of issues.</p>
