Then they go out of their way. So?
It doesn't make anything worse it keeps the confused kids out of the opposite sex bathroom. Those parents are the ones complaining (I would be one of them), it solves the problem.
They complain about that. There was a story about a college that decided to provide gender neutral facilities, and it got in trouble because it only provided them in one building, and even then the one person that demanded them had to go downstairs when the class was upstairs.
It doesn't make sense to do it.
If the college kid wants to continue complaining after the school accommodated them, then they can continue complaining. Were I running the college I'd do nothing else other than providing that one gender neutral bathroom.
The story was about grade school kids not college kids. For that instance? The kid can either use the bathroom of their physical gender or the one bathroom that either gender can use but they are not using the bathroom of the gender they think they are and if the parents want to continue to complain then let them.
Which is my point. Grade schools would be harder to accommodate because students are more restricted than college students. They are expected to use the restroom closest to the classroom, not wander around the school in search of the one restroom they feel comfortable in. You would be catering to the child by building a third restroom based on where their class is.
