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.

I was a physical man when my grandmother took me into the woman's restroom when I was a kid because I did not want to be by myself.
Granted, children have a mind set that has not reached adulthood, I agree.
However, you cannot claim to be anything other than prejudiced when you judge a transitioning individual for being in the "wrong" bathroom. You are allowing a preconceived notion to cloud your logical processes, because there is no way that is an "actual" man simply "sneaking" into the bathroom to take a peek at your girly parts while you sit on the toilet.
Seriously, use your goddamn brain. It is within that thick skull for more than just sitting there.
I'm sorry. I would not feel comfortable showering/changing in the presence of a physical man. If you think that makes me a prejudiced bigoted asshole, so be it.
"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."
