Since you seem to be so adamant about transgenders using the "proper" pooper, how do you feel about straight up opposite sex handicapped assistants? I mean some guy with a penis might have to enter the ladies room to help his handicapped wife drop her deuce! Holy fuck, the horror.
This issue isn't about which sex enters what room, but about keeping people who aren't "normative" out of sight and out of mind.
I've never seen anyone as obsessed by the genitals of others as the pious assholes on the religious right.
You brought up a great point which hits close to me. My mother has mobility issues, and I cant count the amount of times I have had to go into the woman's room to assist her. Mostly just to open heavy doors, but sometimes I have actually had to assist her out of the stall because she didn't have proper angle back to her motor chair.
Oh and when she could walk, and still has now, short hair and I can't tell you how many times strangers called her sir because of her deeper voice.
I have a similar case: my dad had his first stroke when he was 42, and multiple others until he died eight years ago at 59. I accompanied him to the bathroom so many times. Until now, I hadn't even thought of this particular issue happening in North Carolina, where I used to drive my dad on roadtrips from east Tennessee fairly frequently. Would my dad have had to rely on strange men to help him with his bathroom stuff while we were on vacation only because I have a few different parts?
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
