There are mens restrooms and women's restrooms, despite the fact that they both have stalls, because even with the stalls the level of privacy isn't the same.
Only it's not a man. We're not talking of peeping Tom's dressed up in drag, but of people being imprisoned in the wrong body. That should always be at the forefront, though I know it isn't with all too many people.
I understand that, but I still personally would not feel comfortable with a physical man being in the same lockerroom as me while I'm changing or showering, despite the gender identity. And while I would not so much care as much about a bathroom, I can understand women who would.
"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."
