No sorry, your plumbing does not mean you only assault someone of the opposite sex. Even prison rape is not about the perp or the victim being gay.
A man say an uncle, can take a nephew into the bathroom of their gender and he can molest his own family member using the same sex bathroom. Just like he could baby sitting the same kid in a basement.
I have no doubt that a person with a penis who truly identifies as a woman and dresses like a women is going to be the least of anyone's worries. I also have no doubt that a person with a vagina that dresses like a man is also going to be the least likely to commit an assault or molestation. Most rapes and assaults are committed by someone the victim knows.
And for both women and men in any case, if someone is worried about a low traffic area, having someone go in with you is also going to decrease the chances, just like having a parent at home or having a spouse at home is going to make it less likely someone is going to break in and assault you. But the buddy system works even outside sexual assaults with any potential crime.
It is simply fear mongering for no good reason.
