If this goes all the way, I'm going to use whichever gender benefits me the most in each particular situation. Why put yourself at a disadvantage because you are normal? Once racial identity is fully discretionary, better believe my grandpa had high cheek bones.

Really anyone is allowed to have children, have you seen the dbags that procreate, oh yeah the mirror.

If the sorority is OK with it, why would I care?

I've seen some strange-looking women in restrooms. No, they don't make me uncomfortable. In my 70 years on earth, I've never been in a public restroom that didn't have stalls.

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.
You obviously know very little about biology and how gender and sexual characteristics are developed. Or you'd know that it is a good deal more complicated than that.

You might want to check out the current issue of National Geographic. It's a pretty good survey on this topic without being overly technical.

Really? I've been in a couple dozen without stalls.

Yes, it's an extremely small amount percentage wise, but they are out there.

I once went into a restroom with no stalls at a club (back in the 90's), and there was some poor schlub sitting on a toilet in plain view with obvious bowel issues. I felt so sorry for the guy and thought to myself that I would have chosen awkwardly squatting between two cars in the parking lot over the humiliation he was going through. Yes, we all chop belly timber, but even dogs are embarrassed doing it while others look on.

No need for this. It could get smelly. DNA determines gender, not opinion.

I can't speak for men's rooms, I've never been in one. I have NEVER seen a public women's room that lacked stall doors by design, although I have on occasion seen a stall with a broken door.

I've never seen a men's restroom with a couch; however, I've worked at two companies who had couches in the women's room. I think women expect more.

You would think you'd be more likely to have barriers in the men's room since we are barely above chimps hurling poo at each other.

Oh, you're right about that!

You said it, I didn't.

But I do think men are more into overt showing-off contests than women are. Our contests are much more subtle.
