Nothing you said was accurate. I called you protestant-brained, with the clear implication that you've been culturally tuned to associate nudity with sex, not that you are religious. Public restrooms have always had private stalls, I'm not sure where you got that impression they didn't. The bigger picture is that you will never find a "solution" to this "problem" because it's not based in reality, or science, but on straight bigotry. The solution to bigotry is not to meet them halfway. It's to clearly state that their beliefs do not reflect the community's beliefs.
Uh. Who brought up sex other than you???
Public washrooms have not always had privacy stalls. There are many examples of this. I found this in about 5 seconds by using google. https://967theeagle.net/no-bathroom-door-rockford-school/
Privacy stalls are a solution to the problem of people wanting privacy when they change.
Nothing I'm saying is specific to any group of people. There are many different reasons why people feel uncomfortable being nude or seeing others nude. Suggesting that people should have the option of privacy is not meeting bigotry halfway.
I would like to see you make literally any argument for why it's bigotry to give people a private place to change, but it's totally normal to have stalls in bathrooms.
Your brain couldn't even accept that it was true that bathroom stalls haven't always existed because you see it as such an obvious thing to do. Eventually people may feel the same way about being forced to change their clothes with no privacy. Is it required? No absolutely not. Would it make people feel more comfortable? Yea obviously.
