Beyond the “family restroom” thing, individual restrooms also reduce the risks for children using them because they won’t have to be sharing them with any strange adults.

Given some of the people who hang around libraries, this is also a good thing.
 
It wasn’t the bathrooms that caught my attention, but the variety of transgender books available to children.
 
Libraries have to censor by default. There is not enough money to buy every possible book, so they have to select which ones to buy. Apparently transgender is now a popular category. But somebody decides what to buy.

But if many people want the transgender books then they will provide them
 
After seeing what is trying to be normalized by schools and libraries, I am glad that my children are grown already. Its a different world.
 
Eh, I’m not really into “think of the children” book burning. <----figuratively speaking

Most kids read these “teen problem” books because it’s an edgy topic, and by the time 20 years goes by they joke about the books, or the field of everyone’s collective understanding has moved on to the point of making the books quaint and silly.

If you are that concerned about your children’s reading, monitor their books, until they get old enough to read stuff behind your back in which case if they are the kind of kids who read a lot, they will.

My “kids” are all in their 20s. I did monitor their reading and their movies, and music, as you say, while I could. That’s all a parent can do. But what I dealt with is nothing like what is being pushed now.
 
Gender-neutral bathrooms are the bomb. Also, if you don’t want your kid/s to read certain books, then just don’t show them where they are. Most of my current views were shaped by materials I read as an adult anyway. Sounds like much ado about nothing.

I hope they make the restrooms so that they are actually (handicap) accessible. So many barely meet the minimum ADA requirements.
 
Gender-neutral bathrooms are a godsend. My dad could never take me anywhere because I might have had to use the restroom. They also tend to be larger and therefore more accessible.

I don’t know about that. I remember from when I was a kid, plenty of books about teenage runaways, teenage drug addicts, teenage prostitutes, teens in high school having a regular sex life, teens in high school committing murders, teens in high school having gay relationships, teens and pre-teens practicing witchcraft and sometimes not in a “cute” or “funny” way, etc.

About the only thing missing from the books was transgender because it was still at the stage of being a joke on situation comedies rather than a “teen problem” topic.
 
My county library system is similar to that of the author of the article linked in the OP.

Ryan Anderson author of When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment was interviewed on EWTN. The book deals with the harm done to kids and adolescents by the transgender activists. It is compassionate towards the kids who are confused, yet critical towards activists I searched for it and came up empty. I then searched for transgenderism subject and there were hundreds of materials. Judging by the titles they were all positive and celebratory towards transgenderism. This didn’t surprise me considering the Anderson book was absent and figuring there probably aren’t that many books out there critical of transgender activists.

One library even featured for a couple of weeks about a dozen transgender related books and videos on the main display in the front where everyone enters.
