Let's not kid ourselves...that concern was as absent as the tendency to link transgenders to sex offenders and deviants was present. Business as usual. No ones buying it, who wasn't already sold. Pretty sure that most of us could have made a list, prior to this, of everyone who's come out as a bigot since. It's not even remotely surprising.
That's not what I said. I didn't say anything about linking transgenders to sex offenders. I asked, "...what's to keep a child molester, or a voyeur, or a rapist from saying he identifies with being a woman just to gain access to women's restrooms?"
I don't think the "danger" will be precisely the same as it is now. I think the risk will be even greater now since there'll be unfettered access, without question, to women's restrooms and dressing rooms without the fear of being caught there. Where's the safeguards?
