Trans issues raise bathroom quandary for schools

You could be forgiven for never having stopped and considered the prefixes 'trans-' and, especially, 'cis-', until fairly recently. Much of the developed world has been tumbling along without bothering too much about the complexities and fluidity of the gender spectrum. This lack of contemplation has been brought to a screeching halt of late by a number of high-profile events that have cast a bright spotlight on the issues affecting trans individuals, calling on the wider community for greater understanding and commensurate equality to their humanity.
