This is the reason I posted this thread, to make people think. Because it is an issue. I don't want to make non-TG people uncomfortable, but I don't want to make TG people upset either. I'M SO CONFLICTED!!!!! (lol, jk)

Parents, how about in the locker rooms at your kids schools? How many straight guys will be a "tranny for a day" for a trip into the girls locker room?
Most transgender folks I know would not use any public shower facilities; they arrange visits to health clubs etc. in such a way they can shower privately at home later. The last thing they want to do is draw attention to themselves or worse put themselves in a situation where they would be harmed.

I don't understand why people get so worked up over who uses which bathroom. It's not like you're naked in there; you're just peeing or pooping behind a wall, something that all human beings have to do.

Airplanes don't have male/female restrooms, yet we all manage to survive sharing space between the sexes. There's nothing wrong with a tranny using the appropriate restroom, which would be in accordance with how he/she is dressed.

People with young teenaged children are especially effected.

How would you feel about your 12 year old daughter having to share a facility (at a mall, movie theater etc.) with such a person?

I don't really see why it matters what bathroom they use. You either wait on the long line for a women's bathroom or the shorter and (stereotypically) more filthy men's bathroom.

Outside of that, I really wouldn't care. To be honest, I don't think the average person (transgender or not) cares to look at my junk while I take a ****. And I don't care to look at his/her junk neither.

Are you trans or a scientist studying transsexuality and intersexuality? Oh wait--you're not? You don't know what you're talking about so why don't you just stick to the topics you do know something about.
