But it would be one of those things you're not supposed to do, and if you got caught you'd get called out for it and made to switch rooms.
Except that for those who are transitioning, even though they may not have had the bottom surgery done, are informed that they must fully incorporate into their lives every aspect of that which they are. After all, a man transitioning into a woman is no threat to anyone in a woman's bathroom except bigoted assholes who would prefer to judge than empathize or understand in any capacity.
I don't think so. I think a woman can feel uncomfortable with a physical man (despite gender identity) being in the same bathroom and/or lockerroom, and that does not make them bigoted assholes. Personally I would be uncomfortable changing/showering in the same vicinity as a physical man.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
