Err... this simply isn't true.

Children are fucking brutal and always looking for ways to put others down. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Remember when we were kids?

Its not, literally all you have to do is not discriminate.

The obvious solution is to make available an additional bathroom that is universally available to anyone.

Really, at 11?

Yes? 11 is an age where children often are hitting puberty and if someone is trans, that's when gender dysphoria would become more pronounced.
