(Dis)ordered Spaces? Managing the Competing Rights of Children in the Gendered Space of the School Toilet (original) (raw)

This paper explores the complexities and conflicts surrounding the rights of trans* and gender non-conforming children in the context of school toilet usage. It highlights how toilets serve as contested spaces where competing rights intersect, revealing the challenges schools face in accommodating these identities within the binary structures traditionally governing gender. The study calls for more inclusive policies and greater attention to the voices of children, emphasizing the importance of addressing the marginalization of trans* identities within educational environments.
