The Vancouver School Board (VSB) has approved the integration of gender-free bathrooms in K-12 schools in the district. The move comes as one of many revisions to the sexual orientation and gender identities policy for the VSB, encompassing topics that range from the allowance of gender-non-conforming kids to dress how they like to recognizing the right of transsexual kids to be addressed by their preferred gender pronoun.
