I suspect this wasn't entirely spontaneous but organized by religious conservatives.
Would "gender-neutral" include eliminating the distinction between boys' and girls' bathrooms entirely? Somehow I don't think that's what Mr. Good had in mind, nor the "Alliance Defending Freedom."

Mostly likely parents pressed their children into it since parents are generally far more concerned because of the conservative media using it as boogieman with nothing to back it up besides fear.
And "gender-neutral" tends to be single use bathrooms for anyone generally speaking.

Yup forcing them into a bathroom their uncomfortable with is a clearly a bad idea and great way to cause them to be bullied and possible and single use causes them to be a target and ostracized, but to them one "normal" student's paranoia is more important to them than minority students ability to feel safe and not stressed as school that's already generally doesn't feel safe at school.
