The women who you would be sharing toilets and locker rooms with, most likely, would already be well into transitioning and will be outwardly presenting as femme even if they still had a penis. A man who is not transgender isn't going to go to those lengths just to prey on women. You're really blowing that argument out of proportion.
Maybe they would, maybe they wouldn't. Some people may very well get off on that specific type of scenario. The point is, should we take the risk at the expense of women? The risk can easily be avoided with a third, gender neutral bathroom.
Also, should the requirement for transgender folks without surgical reassignment using the opposite sex bathroom/lockerroom be that they are in "full drag?" What if they're at the gym, or only had time to put on a little lipstick and padded bra that day?
"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."
