"If a person feels uncomfortable with their biological sex, then please use the single-stall bathroom. That's what I would like to see," Sivulka said. "Somebody last night said, 'Yeah, this is a very complicated issue.' I don't think it's complicated at all."The transgender student Sivulka's daughter was referencing is 11-year-old sixth grader Alison Sirivanchai.

"It's like, what bathroom am I supposed to be in? Because when I just went into the boy's bathroom, it made boys uncomfortable," she said."You would think that, oh, it's just the bathroom. It's not a big deal," her father said. "But it becomes a big deal when it helps you confirm who you are."
