as far as the trans/bathroom thing goes... does it really matter if you go into the bathroom designated for your gender? I get the concern about people abusing this "acceptance" in the act of perversion.. but, that is probably going to be extremely rare AND women's bathrooms have stalls.
actual acts of indecency, perversion, sexual misconduct etc from a man entering a woman's bathroom, can lead to prosecution.. the same if a woman does so in a men's bathroom.
so I really don't get the concern.. If I walked into the men's bathroom and I saw a female, it'd be weird, i'd probably walk out to make sure i'm in the correct bathroom.. then realizing i'm in the correct bathroom, i'd go back in and handle my business. It really wouldn't bother me, afaik.
The GOP seems to always phrase it as if it's a male child predator entering a women's bathroom to violate your kid.. blatant scare tactics, as usual.
And like LBSS said..
trans people go to the bathroom because they have to take a piss, just like everyone else. more republican politicians have been arrested for sexual crimes in bathrooms than trans people.
If everything we do is framed with these artificial fears, we're so fucked. The same case can be made for leaving kids alone with priests or teachers. We're toast.
