Again, this is speculation. I think the article correctly refuses to identify Nex’s apparent and “legal” gender.

I supposed if they used the boys’ bathroom they would have been fine?

Yes, probably. The 3 older girls probably would not have assaulted Nex in the boys bathroom.

Because teenage boys are known for their kind nature and never physically bully anyone?

Empty rhetorical question with no relevancy to the problem at hand.

And they totally wouldn’t have been even more susceptible to bullying?

More empty rehtoric. Disregarding.

And I suppose teenage boys would never abuse this new law to be granted access and harass girls in the girls’ bathroom?

Mostly empty rhetoric here, but the data does not support the argument that boys are temporarily claiming to be girls so they can hang out in the girls bathroom. It’s not like there is some kind of physical barrier preventing people of the incorrect gender from entering a bathroom, you can just walk right in. If a woman goes into the women’s bathroom, and peeps on other women who are just trying to shit in peace, she would get reported, and should suffer the same consequences as man that goes in the women’s bathroom to peep.

We are speculating on Nex’s apparent and “legal” gender. We are speculating on the situation under which the assault occured, since there aren’t concrete facts available due to (most likely) representation and privacy concerns for Nex.

Whether or not Nex would have been assaulted or bullied in the boys restroom is a pointless deviation from your original question that I answered. Roughly paraphrased to “What does this assault have to do with bathroom laws in the US” Nex was, based on the context, mostly likely assaulted and bullied due to a law forcing them to use a bathroom that did not match their apparent gender. Yes, the assault could have occured in the boys restroom, but it didn’t. We can’t focus on what could have happened in the other restroom because then we bring in to question whether or not the assault could have happened anywhere, like the cafeteria, hallways, classroom, etc… its an empty unrelated argument to say that assault could have happen somewhere else. That is why I am disregarding those statements.

Right, and what “data” supports the idea that genderless bathrooms are safer for trans people?

You must have misunderstood the statement. My point is that men are not claiming to be women in order to circumvent bathroom privacy and peep on people taking a shit, and if they did, they would suffer the same legal consequences as a woman peeping on other women in the bathroom.
