Primary schools across Glasgow, Scotland are introducing unisex toilets to tackle bullying and support children “confused about their gender identity,” according to the local council. There will be no separate facilities for boys and girls in three new junior schools.  The toilets will be labelled ‘unisex’ rather than ‘girls’ or boys’ to ‘tackle anti-social behavior and make LGBT students feel more at ease’. The move has been questioned by some parents who say the new initiative could instead lead to premature sexualization and sexual abuse.
