Well biologically not everyone is a clean-cut "male or female" anyway. Intersex people do exist, where should they go?
And you can't even police the issue with trans people. As I've said many times before, some people can convincingly pass as the opposite sex on hormone treatment alone even even if they've had no surgery. If you're going to send transmen to the female bathroom based on them having vaginas, you're sending in a lot of men with a male muscle structure, facial hair and all the other social markers of manhood into a womens' toilet just because they have a vagina under their clothes (which nobody can see anyway, so for all intents and purposes it's just another man with clothes on). And that blows the whole argument of "it's to make women feel more secure".

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
