Men who don't want to be men can start their own gender, their own sorority, and their own everything. They have no right to infringe on the rights of women.

why would you not? What does it matter to you?? I don't have any idea how someone else's feelings on identity affect you at all?

How are they infringing on the rights of women? What right, as a woman, would I be losing? What right, as woman, would be compromised?

If it's no big deal for a man who feels he's female to enter a restroom with other women, then why is it such a big deal to ask that man to enter the restroom with fellow men?

In order to make himself feel comfortable, should he be able to make everyone else in the women's restroom feel uncomfortable?

Only you are uncomfortable. Most of us are not. What in the world do you think he's doing in the bathroom? He's using the toilet like the rest of us....hearing him peeing is no different than hearing you pee.

Or perhaps you are frequenting toilets where there are no stall partitions and every one is naked?

Women have an identity that goes deeper than breasts and makeup. Women alone have a right to represent that identity. They have the right to not have that identity muddied by men who want to appear as women.

Please note that I am not female and would not place myself in the women's restroom, as I described in my comment.

I said nothing about MY comfort.

A person can inject themselves with as many hormones as they like and have their genitalia re-crafted by the finest, classically trained pee-pee molding play-doh artisans on the planet, but it cannot .. repeat....CANNOT change someone's sex from male to female, or vice versa. Humans with an X & Y chromosome are male, and humans with two X chromosomes are female. It's an immutable genetic fact. End of story.

Where are these "rights" documented/ identified? In your mind?

And women don't necessarily have the same idea of what that identity is, so why should anyone worry about the identity of anyone but themselves?
