But it is definitely something that should be considered as a concern, and when we're dealing with this sort of thing, I think it wise to er on the side of caution.
But, I guess my question is: even if the determination was that transgendered individuals must use the bathroom which aligns with their anatomical gender no matter what, how would this law prevent a sex offender from disguising himself as a woman and committing a crime in a restroom? I don't see how such a law would realistically prevent sex crimes.
I never said it would "prevent sex crimes." I said allowing any person to use any restroom so long as they claim transgenderism would make it easier for pervs to get away with going into women's restrooms or lockerrooms for peeping purposes.
Here's what I said a page back:
"And of course this can still happen despite it being illegal for physical males to go into women's bathrooms and lockerrooms. But making it legal just seems like it'll be that much easier to pull it off. If someone notices there is man dressed as a woman in the lady's room, they'll report it. But if anyone is allowed to go into any restroom so long as they claim transgenderism, it'll be much easier for the pervs to get away with it. If we draw the line at sex change, the transperson going in will actually look like a woman, rather than just look like a man in woman's clothing. That way it'll be much easier to tell apart the real trans verses the perv."
"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."
