Regarding my earlier comment about trans men coming to the rescue, the absurdity is not just shown up by having a man forced to use a woman's toilet, but forcing women to use the men's toilets or locker rooms. I can't imagine many men would be comfortable having to hide their erections if a naked beautiful woman walked in to their locker room. How are their wives and girlfriends going to feel about that?
Why does anyone associate public bathrooms with any type of sex, consensual or not?
The issue with any type of sexual assault isn't about the location, but opportunity. The location is only important in terms of time and amount of people at the time of the attempt and isolation of the victim. Again, my mom was abducted in broad daylight in front of her TOWNHOUSE. But because it was a weekday and most people were at work, and you combine that with she was probably stalked for hours if not days to see her pattern, that is how they were able to do it.
To claim a bathroom will magically cause or prevent an assault is stupid. A criminal who assaults you is concerned about the opportunity, not the location in and of itself.
