when did tatoeba become responsible for the factual content of sentences? @the 2 on twitter: oh c'mon!

It's true (in English). I doubt that it is also true in Japanese.

I'd suggest changing this to:
"go to the little girl's room" は「トイレに行く」という意味の婉曲表現です。
This is how a teacher would say it in an English class in Japan.
