I live in the 4th largest city in the US and I rarely see a trans. The ones I see are normally men that are now women. They usually stand out but you have to just act normal. I remember this 6'5" 280 lbs trans woman coming into the store. I was just hoping my young kid didn't say anything because kids have no filter. You could clearly tell this woman was a dude.
We have already seen reports of rapes by "trans" who have invaded women's spaces, or at least men who claimed they were men.
How often does this happen?
The issue has more to do with the standards that are applied to the genders. For example, most people can tolerate seeing a lesbian kiss and a lot of men like it, but people freak out if two men kiss.
It's always seemed to me there was. When I was a child I was strongly discouraged from many activities because only boys were supposed to do them. I was supposed to stay inside and learn to dust and cook. Which, let me be the first to tell you, are terminally boring. Later, when I started looking for jobs, I was supposed to type, also terminally boring.
And of course, guess what pays less?
Pity. When I was a child we loved it when the girls joined us the 'only boys' activities.
Trans people are still estimated to be 0.5% of the population. It is WAY more likely you would never hear about it or meet a trans person unless you live in a high-population city which by percentages raises your probability of running into a trans person.
Creating a fear or concern over Trans people and bathrooms when most Americans will never meet one or run into one in a restroom is stupid and just fearmongering. Not to mention if the Trans person has completed cosmetic surgery to the face and is on hormone therapy you would likely not even know it was a trans person in the restroom at all.
It is mind-boggling that economic issues, concerns with the cost of living, cost of food, cost of housing, and lack of wage increases for decades are all talked about less than Trans and bathrooms currently.
And that 0.5% seemingly run the country and Western world currently, nothing can take precedence over their wishes and feelings; the 99,5% count for nothing.
When was the last time you saw or met a trans man? Usually it’s just a tomboy female in a gay relationship.
The fact is they much rather use the female restroom.
It’s less disgusting.
Absolutely, I've been envious of my wife as she describes the women's toilet scene versus the men's rooms disgusting situation. I've wanted to identify as a female and shower with the girls since I was in HS, guess I was just born too soon.

I personally know two, but the question of which bathroom has never come up. That’s not what we talk about.
