California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law requiring K-12 schools to provide gender-neutral bathrooms by July 2026.

The new law, Senate Bill 760, was among a series of laws signed by Newsom Saturday to expand protections for the state’s LGBTQ community.

“California is proud to have some of the most robust laws in the nation when it comes to protecting and supporting our LGBTQ+ community,” Newsom said in a statement.

Under the law, “each school district, county office of education, and charter school” would be required to have at least one gender-neutral bathroom on campus on or before July 1, 2026. The bathroom must be available for use during school hours and during school functions when students are present, the law states.

So I don't have to sit on a public toilet of questionable cleanliness. A small bit of splashback from my own piss is preferable.

The privacy just has never been a concern bc no one is trying to look at other people's dicks while pissing.

If you can use a urinal, you can piss in a toilet without sitting down.

...which has all the same splashback issues except youre much more likely to have some piss spray in sone random spot outside the bowl
