What they're saying is that it's one thing if an obviously trans person is entering the bathroom, it's entirely another if it gets to the point where a a dude can just name drop that they're female, because it allows a 'cover' so they can to go in and oggle/harass peeing ladies, and folks will be afraid to question for fear of offending. Just one of these pervs will do major damage, which is why it's a bad idea to let the bathrooms open to folks who aren't female or not undergoing sex change.Quote

This. Truly trans people are only going to use the restroom that they can pass in; most are well on their way to transforming and unless you do the package check (which makes you the violator, not them) you are not going to know.
Once again, I'm not worried about the 'truly trans', it's the straight male creeps and predators who most certainly will take advantage who worry me. Yes they'll be obvious, and that will not be of the slightest help to the victims. I also don't get why it's perfectly understandable for a 'trans' woman to fear male violence, but when real women are afraid of male sexual violence, it's bigotry.
It's not bigotry to fear violence. It's bigotry to assume that trans-women are the only ones who will perpetrate it. I'm still wondering why the bathroom issue has only been brought up with trans people and everyone acts like there's some sort of force-field that keeps cis male predators at bay. A man who wants to rape women will walk into the bathroom regardless of what sign is on it. I swear I'm not making shit up. If they'll attack a woman, they'll ignore a goddamn sign.
Also, there is no difference between a trans woman and a real woman. They are both women.

As for the trans thing - because I know a few.
REAL trans people (in either direction) are NOT going to bother most women. The MtF tend to LOOK LIKE WOMEN and the FtM tend to LOOK LIKE MEN. Seriously - while they may not ALL be able to look like natural-born *insert sex*, they make a very serious concerted effort to do so. No matter how poorly they pull it off, it's a very VERY obvious and heartfelt effort. It's not just some dude in a dress. They try really hard and they won't try swapping restrooms until they have it down pretty well. They also BEHAVE like their goal sex.
So trans is not an issue here. If a trans MtF came in the bathroom, it wouldn't bother me at all. Like I said, I know enough trans people in both directions to know the difference between a trans person and a friggin pervert who's abusing trans rights. (and let's face it, that's what these perverts are doing - they're making it HARDER for trans people to live their lives!)
So honestly, get the guy arrested. Do it for the trans!

It's both a safety issue for women, and threat of retaliation by the public for trans.

Are you aware that there are men who SPECIFICALLY and DELIBERATELY go to ladies rooms to INSTALL CAMERAS with a video feed to record women doing their thing? Yep. These perverts want to watch you poop. Now, who's to say this freakshow wasn't using the kid to do this? Don't believe me? I dare you, for one year, in any major city, every time you go to a public bathroom, lift the seat. Just take a peek. In one year, you WILL find a camera. I always check now, and that's usually about how often I find one. Now, maybe this guy seriously was ONLY being an entitled asshole... fine. Do you feel like just trusting every obvious dude who wanders into a ladies room? I don't.
