At Priory School Lewes, which we and our friends attend, there are currently no gender neutral bathrooms. This is very damaging, as we and some of our friends are transgender and nonbinary and do not feel safe or accommodated using the binary bathrooms. 

What we want to accomplish by creating this petition is to persuade the school's board of governors and the head teacher of Priory to install gender neutral toilets. These toilets would not only be useful for nonbinary and genderqueer students, but also for transgender ftm (female to male) students. This is because if they are not on hormone blockers (and they probably won't be, seeing as the government has stopped giving transgender children under 16 hormone blockers) they will still have their period. If they use sanitary pads/tampons, then currently they would have to use the female bathrooms seeing as the male bathrooms do not have sanitary bins.

Gender neutral bathrooms would also be useful for closeted transgender and nonbinary students, who don't feel comfortable using the binary bathrooms. The bathrooms could also be used as changing rooms for genderqueer, nonbinary and transgender students who don't feel comfortable changing in binary changing rooms.

Please sign this petition so that us and other trans students in our school can go to the bathroom feeling safe.

Thank you,
