A 12-year-old girl’s petition to get bathrooms in her school that are segregated by sex has reportedly been taken down by Change, a petition-hosting platform. The petition allegedly had nearly 13,000 signatures when it was taken down by the site.
The petition was made by a Twitter user’s daughter in May. The account on Twitter is called, “WomenAreSayingNO!” The user posted a link to the petition page.
The post said, “After being asked by many to make it an online petition, here is my daughter’s petition for single sex toilets in her school. PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE!”
When one navigates to the change.org petition, the page only says, “This petition isn’t available. Either the URL is incorrect, it violated our Community Guidelines, or the starter removed it.”
An archived version of the petition read: “I am a 12yr old girl and my school, like many, has open plan mixed sexed toilets with only sinks to act as a divide. This makes many boys and girls uncomfortable, with many refusing to use them.”
“I would like single sex toilets to be available so I, and many other children, can feel comfortable and safe when using more private spaces. I propose we have male only, female only and a mixed spaces to give people choice,” the petition stated.The account posted on Friday that the petition had been removed from change.org. The user tagged change.org and said, “Why are you taking my petition down that’s on behalf of my 12yr old daughter?”
Ephesians 6:12-13 says:
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
